Not allowed to see/speak to Allman: King
King's documents submitted in the court read: "Since August 2022, I've been told that I am not allowed to see or speak to [Allman] who is currently in lockdown at a treatment facility that is undisclosed to me. I am also told [Allman] has no access to his phone."
King claimed one of the four abductors told her that they were sent by Cher.
Relationship
How is Allman and Cher's relationship?
As per Daily Mail, Cher took the abduction step after being distressed upon seeing Allman's disheveled photos from a hotel he was living in, at that time. Notably, the musician has dealt with drug addiction for years.
The 71-year-old then placed her 47-year-old son in a rehab facility.
The mother-son duo shares a strained relationship, with Cher going years without talking to her second-born.
