Cher doesn’t care whether or not you “Consider” the allegation that she once hired men to kidnap her troubled son, Elijah Blue Allman.
“I didn’t do it, and if I did it, I wouldn’t say I did it,” Cher, 77, bluntly told The Post on Friday during a lengthy interview.
The icon’s matter-of-fact response stems from a report that surfaced last month claiming the “Strong Enough” singer hired 4 men to kidnap Allman, 47, from a Recent York City hotel room in an apparent intervention in November 2022.
Allman’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, included the accusations in divorce papers filed last December.
Allman allegedly struggled with substance abuse, and while Cher didn’t disclose any further information on the alleged incident to The Post, she shifted the conversation to the never-ending worrying that comes with motherhood.
“You never stop being a mom — you go to the top, you go to the mattresses whenever you’re trying to avoid wasting your kids. But I didn’t do it. And if I did it, I wouldn’t care to inform you.”
Cher previously spoke to People about Allman’s alleged drug addiction.
“I’m not affected by any problem that thousands and thousands of individuals in the USA aren’t,” she said of watching her son’s struggles with substance abuse.
“I’m a mother. That is my job — a method or one other, to attempt to help my children. You do anything on your children. Each time you may also help them, you only do it because that’s what being a mother is. Nevertheless it’s joy, even with heartache — mostly, whenever you consider your kids, you only smile and you like them, and you are attempting to be there for them.”
Later in her interview with The Post, Cher reflected on coming to terms along with her son Chaz Bono, 54, coming out as transgender.
“It was really weird because you’d have thought I used to be cool enough,” the gay icon admitted.
“I even have trans friends and all that, but I used to be really frightened. I actually truthfully had to come back to that moment. You realize, it was a make-or-break moment. And it took me a minute — Chaz was so patient.”
She continued, “But I used to be also frightened because, you recognize, I’m famous and the highlight was going to be on him, and I used to be nervous of what people would do more to him than they could do to another person … So it was really hard. It’s hard being my child.”
