In court documents that surfaced in September of last year, King accused the pop icon of hiring four men tokidnap her estranged husbandin late 2022.

In a declaration, she claimed that after agreeing on April 21 to keep their divorce proceedings in a “six-month stay in discovery and litigation,” Allman — who was living with her at the time — “disappeared” and she had “not seen him in person since the end of April.”

Regarding the allegations,Cher told PEOPLEin an October interview “that rumor is not true” and declined to comment further.

She did, however, confirm that the private family matter was related to her son’s addiction issues, which he has spoken openly about over the years.

At the hearing, a judge denied an ex parte motion that the Grammy winner had filed a day prior, requesting an immediate temporary conservatorship. The judge argued that Allman and his counsel did not have enough time to review all of the documents.

The morning before their court appearance, Allman also filed an objection against his mother’s petition to appoint a temporary conservator.

He also noted that he was receiving treatment for addiction and stated, “I am reconciling with my wife so that we can work on our relationship now that I have found a path to sobriety.”

The conservatorship hearingwill continue with another court dateon Jan. 29.
