Yup, his older half brother was praising Cher for doing this and saying he's completely out of control. Apparently the last few years the pattern has always been the same: he's stopped working and lives off the part of his father's estate he was left. Apparently apparently each one of his kids gets about 150 grand a year. The moment the money hits his account, he checks himself into a hotel and just parties and does drugs until he runs out of money a few months later (leaving behind thousands of dollars in damages his family usually covers) and then spends the rest of fhe year basically destitute.

I know so many rich kids like this. Don't work, no hobbies, never achieve anything, just party, drink, get high and spend from the endless tap of money they get from their parents or trust funds. And wonder why they're depressed and stuck in a string of shitty relationships and friendships with people who just want to use them. It's not always a good thing to give your kids so much money that they can just shut their brains off, i think.

That sort of thing always strikes me as showing such a staggering lack of imagination. If I had that sort of opportunity I’d build weird computer clusters, teach myself an instrument or learn how to paint, build a backyard radio telescope, write a book. Ok, a lot of the creative stuff I’d make would likely be c*** but I’d have such a lot of fun learning it and trying it. I find it hard to credit not having some sort of interest to potter about with. It doesn’t have even have to be original or imaginative: rebuilding clunkers, sailing boats, starting businesses, heck even golf. Or if you want to make a difference in people’s lives and be remembered start a charity or preserve a building/forest/whatever. And partying every so often is fine (heck, I do it too) but with the opportunity of all that time and money there’s a whole universe of interesting things to do out there.

InformalWish 2 days ago +22
I think, and there's no scientific background behind this thought or anything lol, But I think that that would have to do with the fact that you do have to work. You understand how important free time is and how important hobbies are to you to have some way to relax and have fun. They've never had to work, All they have is free time, So they just never grow up from the partying stage. They never have to be responsible for anything so they don't really get to the point where they see joy in doing things for fun. There's definitely plenty that I would do if I didn't have to work. I would love to have a creative outlet to help other people, without needing to worry about getting paid or paying for supplies or anything like that.

Tricky-Gemstone 1 day ago +11
This is anecdotal. But I have personal experience with this. I come from some money. Nothing crazy, but vacations, a large house, and other things were part of my life growing up. My siblings and I were intentionally kept in the dark about my parents' financial situation until we were adults. My parents always drove older cars for practicality, spent a lot of time budgeting, and didn't flaunt things. So I knew we had money, but no idea how much. Had I known the actual amount, I don't think I'd be as ambitious as I am, because I wouldn't have had to work nearly as hard.

Realitygormond 2 days ago +4
Personally I've always felt the idea of inheritance or providing for your kids in adulthood financially flies in the face of meritocracy. Some people just naturally struggle with higher pursuits and ambition so that's an innate risk of any person but giving your kids hundred of thousands to millions of dollars and then thinking they'll have any desire to do anything but take the free ride is a bit crazy to me.

Kinggakman 2 days ago +10
Very true but, the most powerful people in our society are the ones from rich families. Not trying to get your kids in on that doesn’t make sense.

Realitygormond 2 days ago +2
Definitely understand it. It's a natural tactic of procreation. You want your offspring to be successful and affluent so you pass on assets that put them at an advantage. It's unfortunate though that the concept goes beyond biological survivalist traits and into socioeconomic dynamics that detract from society and individuals in some cases.
2
AFewBerries 1 day ago +3
And what's wrong with taking the free ride? It's their life. They don't owe it to anyone to be successful. We have this ingrained idea that you have to struggle in this unfair system and your hard work will ''pay off'' even though the gap between the rich and poor keeps widening.

I know a guy like this. He’s a renowned artist that does civic installations. He had a job for the city I was living in and they paid him in steps as he worked on the project. Each time he got paid he’d disappear for a month and the project would languish until he ran out of money. Sounds stressful as hell to me.

Sometimes people need a leash and that leash is "ah right I actually need to do this thing or else I'll have to actually deal with consequences" Know a few high earners who live like they're millionaires, but every so often they look at the books and go "oh, f***" and snap back to reality for a month or two.

cubsgirl101 2 days ago +71
Free Britney made sense considering the circumstances of her conservatorship. Her family had been trying to make money off her while she was in the throes of severe mental illness and essentially stole the majority of her income earned during her active years. Just because she’s still not doing well doesn’t mean she needs to be in a conservatorship. She just needs more people around her who can help her make better life choices.
71
Leftover_Bees 2 days ago +22
She didn’t even necessarily object to the conservatorship in general, just that her father was taking advantage of it. Didn’t she initially ask for the judge to just appoint someone else?
22
delorf 1 day ago +3
It sounds like her father used psychologists against her so that now she is afraid to go to therapy. Maybe she thinks it will prove them right if she's diagnosed with bipolar or something similar. In reality, therapy and medication could probably solve most of her issues. She probably needs treatment for PTSD too. The PTSD would not be just from her father, but the insane bullying she got from the press.
3
hokie47 2 days ago +6
It doesn't help her case. Maybe she can. But she had years of clear and public evidence showing that she need help and it finally took her driving a car under the influence that could have killed herself or someone else to get help. How many times did she drive like that? It took her getting caught. She didn't have people around her or was responsible enough to ask for help.
6
cubsgirl101 2 days ago +22
Except the point is that Britney couldn’t both be so mentally unwell she legally is incapable of caring for herself and able bodied enough to perform for crowds and release albums. Her family took advantage of her mental health crisis and kept her trapped in order to leech the profits from her career. Britney likely would have benefited from a temporary guardianship held by someone who actually gave a c*** about her as a person. But the one her dad was in charge of? It was used as a way to exploit her.

I think it's fair to say she could have benefited from a conservatorship given her mental state *and* that she was taken advantage of by the people who were granted that conservatorship. They aren't mutually exclusive.

cubsgirl101 2 days ago +18
Yes. That’s the entire reason she needed to be free of that specific conservatorship is my point. It’s not that conservatorships are blanket bad, but the one Britney was in did nothing for her well-being and it was a way to exert control over her when she was in a vulnerable place.

MmeLaRue 2 days ago +8
Not really. Under the conservatorship, she was barred from making a lot of decisions for herself, including bodily autonomy. Because of the restrictions and the ganging-up on her finances by her parents and by her ex-husband, she no longer speaks to either of her now-adult sons nor does she assist them financially (to my knoledge.) She's in rehab, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when one has chosen it.

Oh, absolutely. I live by the phrase, “mental illness is not your fault but it is your responsibility.” It’s not a pass. I’m just saying it can explain two disparate experiences with the same person. Of course, so can a bad flight or a stomachache on the day, who knows, but in this instance it seemed relevant.
44
Seachicken 2 days ago +21
There needs to be a big asterisk next to that phrase though. Severe mental illness can be neither your fault nor your responsibility. Many schitzophrenics for example lack both insight into their condition, and the capacity for insight. My brother is one of them. Schitzo affective disorder stripped away the ability for him to understand that he was mentally unwell. He can no more take responsibility for his condition than a double amputee can get up and walk around.
21
doctor_gloom1 2 days ago +5
Sure, there are cases where it doesn’t apply. It does to the vast majority of us and it’s a beneficial token phrase for me as I used mine as a crutch for too long but I hear you and I’m sorry for your brother’s troubles. It’s a hard thing. I worked in mental health facilities for a long time, I’ve known folks who need to be taken responsibility for due to their conditions, and I certainly don’t mean to diminish or ignore those struggles. Perhaps I should adjust it to, “mental *health* is not your fault, etc.” as that is more directed towards the maintenance possible to those it’s possible for.

Deadsy was a whole vibe for a short period of time in the early 2000’s.

A lot of people online feel reassured to think that the family of mentally ill people are controlling monsters (Britney’s dad) or cold, distant monsters when they protect/distance themselves (that Ned’s survival guide lad who’s now on the streets and has refused multiple attempts at hospitalisation and wrecked the hotel room someone got for him). Unfortunately a lot of mentally ill people are a danger to themselves and those around them. Families get burnt out from being lied to, stolen from, threatened and assaulted. Society in general is happy to ignore it until it’s too late (the Reiner double murder) then throw out a “that’s terrible if only there were mental health services available” (even though Nick Reiner had gone through like a dozen rehabs/mental health facilities).

pretty easily searchable stuff. he started smoking weed around age 11, and other substances around then, too. between both parents touring and lifestyles, I don't think he had the strongest foundation as a child. It was also the 70s, and I think a lot of parents did not interact with their kids the same way as we do now. I'm a huge fan of Cher's, but you can see where the kids struggled when she was trying to keep her career going in the 70s and 80s. I believe he said he started using heroin in his early teen years, too.

I grew up on the Allman Brothers (dad's favorite band, and they became mine as well). They have a crazy (and quite depressing overall) history. Duane and Gregg's father was killed by a hitchhiker when they were very young children. Duane died in a motorcycle accident right when the band was making it big (and he had recently released the Layla album with Clapton). Then their bassist, Berry Oakley, died in a motorcycle accident a year later and only a few blocks from where Duane died. Gregg got deep into drugs and alcohol (led to the divorce with Cher), got into a huge fight with Dickie Betts when he testified against their manager on drug charges, and hit his lowest point during their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame where he was nearly incoherent and claims he can't remember it at all. The good news is that led to him getting sober, putting his life together, and the band having a true Renaissance in the 2000's. Note - I probably got a few things wrong/out of order. Please feel free to correct me, all!

Yes Sonny and Cher happened before Cher and Gregg. Remember when she dated Gene Simmons?

Ye, he may be half her age, but he's still pushing 40. Its not like she's parading around a 17 year old or something.

Sonny Bono was a great choice for her. She would have likely stayed an unknown without Sonny mentioning and guiding her. She grew up, was more famous than him and they went their separate ways. I adored her when I was a little kid and their show was on tv. He was so ugly compared to her (in my kid brain) but now that I’m older I get it. I see the Gregg Allman appeal but I don’t understand why anyone would date Gene Simmons.

Another small correction - Elijah is not Cher's first child. Chaz ('69) Elijah ('76).

> His brother Devon Allman stated in an affidavit that he recently visited Elijah and was forced to negotiate the debt directly with the dealer. The most rich-people-shit line you will read all week. "forced to negotiate the debt directly with the dealer", I really wonder what that "negotiation" looked like? I assume it was "Give me X dollars right now or I knife you", "I don't have X dollars, but I'll give you 20% of X now if you agree to not knife me, and I promise I'll still give you 100% of X later"

"I got the key, key to gramercy park." I used to listen to a few Deadsy songs in my skateboarding years. Never knew the singer was the son of Cher until now. That's crazy. I used to listen to a lot of weird niche bands like Kill Hannah, and just never bothered looking any of them up.

I totally forgot about Kill Hannah! My mom was looking at my Deadsy album deciding whether to confiscate it when she mentioned he was Cher's son and let me keep it. Weird reasoning, but teenage me too a win when I got one.

To be fair, as a kid he saw a lot of grown-ups hard-partying and thought that was normal, until he eventually found out that it really isn't. Drew Barrymore grew up the same way, but she wised up

Deadsy was a band that opened me up to the type of music I grew to love it's such a shame he turned out like this

Cher is 79. I dunno if she's the best choice for conservatorship.

You can run a country at 79. Surely a cognitively competent 79 year old can hire some staff.

I just wanted to join everyone else on this thread, and point out that the child is a great granddaughter of Julie Andrews. Did you get that, Julie Andrews? Just in case repeating it 25 times didn't sink in. Julie Andrews.

Unfortunately, some people are mentally ill (even if they themselves try to deny it and may appear 'normal' besides the seemingly destructive behavior) that this is necessary, some people just won't be fully independent due to a "sick" brain.

Didn’t they put Britney Spears on conservatorship with less?

It speaks volumes how many of us here remember *distinctly* just how f****** good Deadsy was. They had one major release and were a supporting band, but here we are reminiscing of those better years with skateboards and Deftones. I can hear Brand New Love like it was yesterday. Imagine them getting back together to support for the 'tones again.

That headline makes it sound like she was hospitalized, arrested multiple times, and then filed for conservatorship of her son.
