<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Recording artist</a> Cher’s temporary emergency conservatorship request for her 47-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman, has been denied by the court.
The judge turned down <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cher">Cher’s</a> proposal saying that Allman “has managed his finances” and “has an apartment,” plus “ has remained drug free” after submitting “several <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drugs">drug tests</a>,” per <a href="https://people.com/cher-son-elijah-blue-allman-temporary-emergency-conservatorship-denied-hearing-8551750">People</a>.
Allman was in court with his legal team and his estranged wife Marieangela King, while Cher appeared remotely. Her legal counsel was there in person.
Cher&#8217;s lawyers argued that Allman should have a conservatorship because of his schizoaffective disorder, which led to him being placed in several 5150 holds, the term for getting someone with a mental illness to be involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalization, in the last year.
“I don’t question Cher’s concerns being driven by concern for her son. I don&#8217;t think [Allman] questions that,” the judge said, ultimately determining that the reasons presented were based on “fears” but not on definite outcomes.
“That in and of itself is not basis for the court to appoint a probate conservatorship. I have not seen the evidence to grant a temporary, emergency conservatorship as of today,” the judge said in the ruling.
Cher had previously petitioned to become the sole conservator of her son’s estate in December, claiming that he is “substantially unable to manage his financial resources,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cher-files-for-conservatorship-of-son-elijah-for-severe-substance-abuse-issues">reported</a>.

The 77-year-old international pop star said her petition was “urgently needed … to protect Elijah’s property from loss or injury” because he is “currently unable to manage his assets due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.”
Cher’s petition also mentioned Allman’s estranged wife, saying she should not be considered to fill the role of conservator. The document noted that “their tumultuous relationship has been marked by a cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises.”
Allman filed an objection to his mother&#8217;s petition claiming “no reason exists for the appointment of a conservator” because “there is simply no emergency that requires it.&#8221;
While he admitted that he &#8220;struggled with addiction and spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible” in the past, he reported being on “a path to sobriety” and “under the care” of a doctor.

U.S.

Pop singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cher">Cher</a> has filed for conservatorship of her 47-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman, citing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/drugs">substance abuse</a> concerns.
The 77-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">actress</a> petitioned to become the sole conservator of her son&#8217;s estate, claiming that he is &#8220;substantially unable to manage his financial resources,&#8221; per a report obtained by <a href="https://people.com/cher-files-conservatorship-court-documents-son-elijah-blue-allman-8420518">People</a>.
The petition says that Allman will receive assets from a trust before the end of the year, which is the reason for the filing at the time. It states that a conservator is &#8220;urgently needed &#8230; to protect Elijah’s property from loss or injury&#8221; because he is &#8220;currently unable to manage his assets due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.&#8221;
The document notes how Allman’s estranged wife, Marieangela King, should not be considered for the role of conservator because &#8220;their tumultuous relationship has been marked by a cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises.&#8221;
&#8220;Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from the Trust, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, [Cher] is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk,&#8221; the petition says.
It also states how Cher has &#8220;worked tirelessly to get Elijah into treatment and get him the help he needs.&#8221;
&#8220;[Cher] loves Elijah immensely and has always acted with his best interests in mind,&#8221; it says, mentioning how the singer has been &#8220;unable to discuss his preferences concerning the appointment of a temporary conservator&#8221; because of his &#8220;current mental and physical health issues.&#8221;
The pop star had previously spoken to People about her experience as the parent of a child with substance abuse issues.

“I’m not suffering from any problem that millions of people in the United States aren’t,” Cher <a href="https://people.com/cher-speaks-out-on-kidnapping-plot-allegations-about-son-not-true-exclusive-8350230">told</a> the outlet in October while refuting news reports that she tried to “kidnap” Allman.
“I’m a mother. This is my job — one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache — mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them.”

&#8220;They didn&#8217;t have it down perfectly,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But also, I&#8217;ve spent my entire life trying to be myself, and now these a**holes are going to go take it?&#8221;

The &#8220;Witches of Eastwick&#8221; star has also hit back at claims of irony after critics noted she&#8217;s credited with being the first star to use technology in her music with use of autotune.
&#8220;When we used it, it wasn&#8217;t called [auto-tune], it was a pitch machine,&#8221; Cher said. &#8220;It started and it was like, &#8216;Oh my God, this is the best thing ever. And I thought, &#8216;You don&#8217;t even know it&#8217;s me. This is the best thing ever&#8230;'&#8221;

If I had my choice, I probably would have another one, but I didn&#8217;t get my choice. I got my mother&#8217;s voice.&#8221;
Cher&#8217;s reaction to hearing the fake song was similar to Gomez&#8217;s, who recently called it &#8220;scary&#8221; after hearing an AI-generated cover version of a 2016 song by her ex-boyfriend The Weeknd called &#8220;Starboy.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cher">Cher</a> admitted that it was “difficult” when her daughter Chaz Bono decided to “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transition</a>” from a woman to a man. 
The 77-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">singer-songwriter</a> discussed some of the “difficult, challenging, exciting, interesting” moments of parenthood during an interview with <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-10-20/cher-christmas-biden-alexander-edwards">the Los Angeles Times</a> published Friday.
She started by saying parenting “wasn’t easy&#8221; with either of her husbands but that Sonny Bono was a “better father.” He and Cher married in 1969 and gave birth to their only child together, a daughter they named Chastity Sun Bono. 
Cher has been a &#8220;gay icon&#8221; for most of her career and was always supportive of LGBT communities. Cher&#8217;s daughter came out publicly as a lesbian in 1995. She became an advocate for many related causes, including the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), GLAAD, and National Coming Out Day, to name a few. Then, in 2008, the activist decided to “transition” to male and began going by the name Chaz. 
The story was eventually made into a documentary film called “Becoming Chaz,” which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-70696">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
Cher acknowledged that getting used to seeing her child as someone else was hard.
“When Chaz went through the transition, that was difficult for me. It shouldn’t have been because, you know, I’ve had gay friends forever. I just met some beautiful trans chicks and we have an affinity. Now I’m totally fine,” Cher explained. 
She continued, “But it’s hard to lose one child to get a new one, especially so late. I think that was the hard thing for me. I don’t think it was the transition. It was waiting to see who the person would be, and would they be so much different than the person that was before them.” 
Cher had previously talked about her difficulty accepting Chaz’s new identity during a 2020 interview on CNN.
&#8220;It was very unlike me to — in the beginning — [having] a problem with Chaz being gay, and it disappeared like that. And then we talked about transgender for many years, and she would say, &#8216;No I don&#8217;t want to do it,&#8217; and then he went and said, &#8216;OK I want to do this.'&#8221;
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t easy,&#8221; Cher said. &#8220;Like I remember calling, and the old message — the old Chaz message was on the phone — and that was very difficult. But then you have one child, but you don&#8217;t really lose them — they just are in a different shape.&#8221;

Superstar Cher has been accused by her daughter-in-law Marie King of kidnapping the singer&#8217;s troubled son — Elijah Blue Allman — and preventing the estranged couple&#8217;s alleged reconciliation, according to court documents in King&#8217;s ongoing divorce with Allman.
The accusations made last year against the 77-year-old singer/actress recently surfaced in legal filings obtained by <a href="https://people.com/cher-hired-men-kidnap-son-amid-divorce-proceedings-elijah-blue-allman-marie-king-allegations-7975529" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> in which King claimed that on the night of the estranged couple&#8217;s wedding anniversary the &#8220;Moonstruck&#8221; star allegedly hired a group of men to take her son from the former couple&#8217;s New York hotel room on Nov. 30, 2022 out of concern for him.
King said in the documents that they were trying to &#8220;reconcile&#8221; after they spent &#8220;12 days alone together from November 18-November 30, in New York, working on [their] marriage&#8221; when the alleged incident occurred.
Cher&#8217;s daughter-in-law also claimed in the legal filings that &#8220;one of the four men who took [Allman]&#8221; allegedly told &#8220;her that they were hired by (Elijah&#8217;s) mother, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12558351/Cher-son-Elijah-Blue-Allman-strung-Chateau-Marmont.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> noted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;I am currently unaware of my husband&#8217;s wellbeing or whereabouts,&#8221; King said in the documents at the time. &#8220;I am very concerned and worried about him.&#8221;
&#8220;I understand his family&#8217;s efforts to make sure he is well, and I want what is best for my husband,&#8221; she added.
King also reportedly accused her mother-in-law of asking her to leave her home with Allman without retrieving &#8220;all my belongings from my primary home and residence&#8221; when Elijah reportedly went to receive medical care at a facility that was not disclosed to her in August 2022, the Daily Mail noted.
Allman is one of Cher&#8217;s two children. She shares Elijah with second husband, the late rock great Gregg Allman.
Elijah and King tied the knot in 2013, but never had any children. Allman said previously the two split in 2020.
In a 2014 interview, Cher&#8217;s son talked about his battle with drug addictions like heroin before he said he finally got sober in 2008, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/news/143189_Elijah_Blue_Allman_Opens_Up_About_Heroin_Abuse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight</a> reported.
&#8220;I started with drugs around the same time that we all did, around 11,&#8221; Elijah said of using weed and ecstasy.  &#8220;I mean it&#8217;s just what you did, it&#8217;s just what everybody did.&#8221;
&#8220;I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that&#8217;s when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,&#8221; he added. &#8220;[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn&#8217;t have that at that point, I don&#8217;t know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.&#8221;
But he admitted he almost died after overdosing.
&#8220;I did have some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality &#8230; I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,&#8221; Allman told the outlet.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cher">Cher</a> is sparking engagement rumors after posting a photo of a giant diamond ring.
The 76-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">singer</a> shared a Twitter post on Christmas day marveling at the glittering jewelry, which was a gift from her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards. 
&#8220;THERE R NO WORDS,&#8221; Cher <a href="https://twitter.com/cher/status/1607056520709296128">wrote</a> in the post caption, followed by her boyfriend’s name.

&mdash; Cher (@cher) <a href="https://twitter.com/cher/status/1607056520709296128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 25, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">fans</a> started furiously speculating that the “Strong Enough” singer was engaged, she reposted the same picture a few hours later and wrote, &#8220;I posted this cause his nails are so cool,&#8221; referring to a black and green manicured finger that can be seen in the picture.
Cher has defended the 40-year age gap between her and Edwards since they were first spotted together. 
&#8220;Older men just didn&#8217;t like me all that much,&#8221; the singer said during a December appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. 
&#8220;Do you know what I mean? I have had a couple boyfriends that were hovering around my age, but they just didn&#8217;t like me for some reason. And maybe younger men don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re funny or outrageous and want to do stupid things, and you have the strong personality. I&#8217;m not giving up my personality for anybody, okay?&#8221;
“I’m Not Defending us,” she wrote in a November Twitter post, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cher-76-shrugs-off-40-year-age-gap-with-her-new-boyfriend-haters-are-gonna-hate">reported</a>. “Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’ [sic] Matter…That we’re Happy &amp; Not Bothering Anyone.”
Edwards, 36, is best known for previously dating Kanye West’s ex Amber Rose, with whom he shares a three-year-old son. Rose broke up with him after saying he was cheating on her with multiple women this past summer.
Edwards admitted to cheating on Rose, saying he “loved her” but being unfaithful was his “true nature.” This led to Cher’s fans questioning his motives, but she brushed off their concerns, saying she “wasn’t born yesterday.”
Cher is twice divorced. Her late ex-husband Sonny Bono died in 1998 in a skiing accident. The singer was also previously married to the late singer Greg Allman. She has had relationships with younger men, including Ron Zimmerman, Tom Cruise, and Richie Sambora, but her romance with Edwards represents the largest age gap so far.

Cher's Ring Pic Fuels Engagement Rumors With Boyfriend Who Is 40 Years Younger

Music

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cher">Cher</a> has no qualms about dating a man 40 years her junior and doesn’t think fans should care much about it either.
The 76-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music-industry">singer</a> confirmed her relationship with music producer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Alexander Edwards</a>, 36, via Twitter early Sunday when she posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/cher/status/1589143240053182464">photo</a> of him with a heart emoji next to it. In a follow-up, Cher said she refused to engage with naysayers concerned about the age gap.
“I’m Not Defending us,” she <a href="https://twitter.com/cher/status/1589299132690272262">wrote</a>. “Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’ [sic] Matter…That we’re Happy &amp; Not Bothering Anyone.”
Edwards was previously in a relationship with Kanye West&#8217;s ex Amber Rose, 39. The two have a three-year-old son together. He admitted to cheating on Rose after she accused him of having affairs with multiple women this summer. 
“I&#8217;m tired of getting cheated on and being embarrassed behind the scenes,” Rose shared in an Instagram statement in August.
“All 12 of y&#8217;all bums (the ones that I know of there&#8217;s probably more) can have him,” she continued. “Y&#8217;all very much knew he was in a relationship with a baby and y&#8217;all decided to f*** him anyway. I saw all the texts and DM&#8217;s. Y&#8217;all were well aware but y&#8217;all don&#8217;t owe me any loyalty so it&#8217;s whatever.”
Edwards admitted to cheating on Rose, saying he “loved her” but being unfaithful was his “true nature.”
Fans were apprehensive about Edwards’ past, including his admission of cheating. But Cher brushed off their concerns and said she wasn&#8217;t letting it affect her new relationship.
“I’m not sure how I feel about this. I&#8217;ve been a fan for so long that I&#8217;m immediately suspicious of his intentions towards you,” one fan shared in response to the photo of Edwards. “WE know you are fabulous and I&#8217;m sure your inner circle will continue to have your back. Want you to be happy, but not taken advantage of!!!”
Cher <a href="https://twitter.com/cher/status/1589306986243526656">replied</a> to that follower, “As we All Know …I WASNT BORN YESTERDAY,&amp; What I Know For Sure…There Are No Guarantees. Anytime you make a Choice You Take a Chance. I’ve Always Taken Chances…It’s WHO I Am.”
In other fan replies, Cher told fans that she had met Edwards at Paris Fashion week and that he had already met everyone in her family. She also said Edwards treats her &#8220;like a [queen].&#8221; 
Cher is twice divorced from her late ex-husband Sonny Bono, who died in 1998 in a skiing accident, and late singer Greg Allman, who died in 2017. She was in relationships before with younger men, including Ron Zimmerman, Tom Cruise, and Richie Sambora, but this relationship has the largest age gap so far.
Besides showing off her December-May romance, Cher, an outspoken leftist, also spent the weekend urging followers to vote for Democratic candidates on Tuesday, including incumbents Kathy Hochul for governor in New York and Catherine Cortez Masto for Senate in Nevada.

“Donatella and I have been dear friends for a lifetime,” Cher said in a statement. “It just felt right for our very first collaboration to be one about LGBTQ Pride and celebrating a community that means so incredibly much to both of us. We wanted to make a fun collection supporting a good case [sic], and we hope you like it.”
Donatella Versace said, “It has always been a dream to collaborate with Cher, and it’s finally come true. I’m delighted that we can support such a brilliant charity that has such a positive impact, particularly on young people.”
Gender Spectrum is a nonprofit that provides resources for parents of children who are part of the LGBTQ community. Its <a href="https://www.genderspectrum.org/about/our-mission-and-vision">website</a> says that it works to &#8220;support them [caregivers] as they navigate their child’s journey,” and that the group connects &#8220;young people to similar spaces, where they can be seen and validated for who they are.”
The nonprofit also boasts that it has one of the oldest conferences for transgender youth and their families in the country. The organization “envision[s] a world that is affirming and inclusive of children and teens of all genders.”
The Versace website promotes the new collection with a video that seems to have been inspired by Shakespeare’s “Romeo &amp; Juliet.” 
“Two icons, both alike in diva energy. In Pride Month, where we celebrate the scene. From long-held friendship to new love and unity. Where Cher and Versace make, Chersace,” the narrator says.
Versace posted the video on its social media and promoted Gender Spectrum there as well.
“Gender Spectrum works to create gender sensitive and inclusive environments for all children and teens by providing online programs, resources and information that young people, parents and families can use to further their understanding of gender and learn the value of parental and adult support,” the caption says.
THR notes how Versace’s parent company Capri Holdings recently established the Versace Foundation, which “is aimed at fostering, promoting and supporting programs that generate awareness and support for the LGBTQ community.”
Capri Holdings also pledged $10 million to the foundation.

On Wednesday, Fox News’ meteorologist Janice Dean, who had relentlessly pursued New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo for his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, targeted celebrities who had lavished praise on Cuomo but still have not apologized for their championing of him.
She tweeted, “It would be very helpful if some of these celebrities that fawned over @andrewcuomo fessed up to their terrible judgement and apologized to the women and families affected by their tone deaf comments last year. But they won’t. “

In November 2020, when the Emmys <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/andrew-cuomo-emmy-ceremony-draws-mockery-embarrassing">gave Cuomo the Founders Award</a> &#8220;in recognition of his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world,&#8221; host Bruce Paisner stated:
<blockquote>Last spring, when the virus was new and out of control, and the people of New York were frightened at its relentless spread. One man took it upon himself to use technology to spread reliable information and tell citizens what to do. … And as spring turned into summer this year, the people of New York went from fear of the unknown to increasing knowledge of what was known and a sense that somebody had a plan.</blockquote>
Billy Crystal <a href="https://abc7ny.com/cuomo-emmy-award-international-academy-of-television-arts-and-sciences-coronavirus-daily-briefings/8203781/">breathed</a>, “In the darkest days of the pandemic, your daily briefings, live from New York, gave us hope, gave us clarity, gave us the truth, and gave us something we were not getting from Washington: Leadership.”
Billy Joel added, “In the midst of this storm, Andrew Cuomo became the nation&#8217;s governor. People across the country tuned into his press conferences every day.” Perez stated, “Governor Andrew Cuomo, you are the man.” Stiller: “I look up to you still.”
Joel wrote of Cuomo <a href="https://vermilioncountyfirst.com/2020/03/31/billy-joel-wife-salute-governor-andrew-cuomo/">on his website</a> in March 2020, “We are not at all surprised by his leadership during such a chaotic time and we are so proud of him. We’re lucky to call him ‘The Godfather,’ his favorite title, and our friend.”
In March 2020, Handler penned an <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/chelsea-handler-andrew-cuomo-love-letter">article in Vogue</a> with the gushing title, “Dear Andrew Cuomo, I Want to Be Your First Lady.” She wrote:
<blockquote>Between watching episodes of Tiger King and episodes of Trump’s daily press briefings and trying to find more marijuana to ingest, I quicken to something that cuts through the insanity. Out of the darkness, you, Andrew Cuomo, walk into my life, looking remarkably like the Incredible Hulk.… Thank you, Andrew Cuomo. Thank you for reminding us that there are men who can lead and be clear and tell the truth—even when the news is bad. Who practice benevolent ruthlessness.

Who speak to Americans with respect. Thank you for being a leader at a time when so many of us were desperately looking for one.</blockquote>
Cher had her moment of gushing in April 2020, tweeting, “I’m in love with Andrew Cuomo.”

Even though Donald Trump has been out of the White House for 187 days, he&#8217;s still on the mind of Cher.
The 75-year-old singer, whose real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian, went on a rant on Saturday, claiming Trump will kill America if people don&#8217;t vote in 2022.
&#8220;LISTENING 2 SAM COOK’S “A CHANGE IS GONNA COME”,&amp; 😭. WONDER WHAT HE’D THINK ABOUT 1/3 OF🇺🇸RIPPING FREEDOM FROM BLK,BROWN,OLD,POOR.

Her post also included a video from the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, with the caption: &#8220;THIS IS WHAT TREASON LOOKS LIKE.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In another shouty, all-cap, badly punctuated tweet, Cher wrote: &#8220;BABE,2022 WILL MAKE OR BREAK🇺🇸.WE’RE EITHER GONNA BE DRAGGED BACK 2 THE OLE”WHITES DOMINATE”ANTEBELLUM DAYS,OR FINALLY ACHIEVE THE FUTURE MANY BLACK LEADERS &amp; REAL AMERICANS🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼 4. HERE,&amp; NOW,2022..IF U VALUE YOUR FREEDOM THIS IS THE ONLY TIME &amp; THE ONLY VOTE THAT MATTERS‼️&#8221;
And she also wrote another post, this time spelling Sam Cooke&#8217;s name correctly.
&#8220;Pls listen 2 Sam Cooke’s &#8216;a Change is Gonna Come&#8217;.WHEN WILL WE STAND SHOULDER 2 SHOULDER WITH BLK BROTHERS &amp; SISTERS, WITH EVERY DISENFRANCHISED DEMOCRAT,IN EVERY STATE WHICH HAS NEW DRACONIAN,RACIST LAWS. REPUBLICAN LAWS,AIMED AT WIPING DEMOCRATS OFF [Flag of United States]’S MAP 4EVER. VOTE(D)2022.&#8221;
Cher made headlines in April when she tweeted that she believes that if only she had been there the day George Floyd died she could’ve prevented it.
The performer wrote on Twitter: “Was talking With Mom &amp; She Said ‘I Watched Trial Of Policeman Who Killed George Floyd, &amp; Cried’. I Said ‘Mom, Is Gonna Sound CRAZY, But.. I Kept Thinking …..Maybe If I’d Been There,…I Could’ve Helped.”
Cher got slammed on the social media site for her white savior sentiment in her since-deleted tweet.
“I love my Cher but oof. That was a little too white savior complex for me. I know she means well and probably doesn’t understand but.. honey… no,” one wrote, according to the Daily Mail.
“This is significantly underplaying what witnesses who testified TRIED to do to stop his death. There have been MULTIPLE testimonies of everyone from a firefighter to an MMA fighter to a senior man who attempted to diffuse the situation. Singing songs doesn’t erase racism, Cher,” wrote another.
She later explained. “Wrestled With This Twt, Because I Thought some ppl wouldn’t understand, Or Believe an Entertainer Could have Honest emotions about a human Being,suffering &amp; Dying,even if It’s Only Shown On tv. You Don’t Know What I’ve Done,Who I Am, Or What I Believe.I CAN,I HAVE,&amp; I WILL..HELP,” Cher wrote.
And of course she went on and on.
“Whites Can No Longer Stand On The Side- lines.We Must STAND In Solidarity With Our Blk Brothers &amp; Sisters In Every KU KLUX KLAN STATE.WE MUSTStop sign RACIST GOP LAWMAKERS FROM TOTAL DOMINATION OF [U.S. flag emoji] &amp;DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRATS.WE”MUST STOP”GOP BIGOTS FROM TAKING [U.S. flag emoji] BACK 2 DAYS OF JIM CROW,” she wrote.

The punctuation-challenged entertainer, who capitalizes nearly every word, later took to Twitter to explain.

She&#8217;s not talking about being a celeb or savior &#8211; but the helplessness we all feel repeatedly watching Mr. Floyd suffer &amp; die. We want to reach through the TV screen. We want to go back in time. We want to save him. &#8216;If only &#8230;&#8221; one person wrote, the Mail reported.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon – Season 6

Cher Mocked For ‘White Savior’ Tweet About George Floyd

George Floyd

You could argue Tinsel Town’s Trump Derangement Syndrome began long before the real estate mogul crushed Hillary Clinton’s presidential dreams. Stars like Sarah Silverman and Louis C.K. played the Hitler card against Donald Trump during the primaries, a sad preview of what was to come. There’s nothing wrong with opposing President Trump’s policies or criticizing his personal demeanor. Plenty of conservatives, not the absurd NeverTrump types, do just that. It’s healthy. It’s American. The following stars took their Trump hatred a bit further, though. They epitomize Trump Derangement Syndrome, a fictional name for a very real type of political disorder. You don’t have to be a medical specialist to spot it. Nor do you need a degree in political science to realize the following stars shouldn’t be taken seriously given the tenor of their comments.
1. Robert De Niro
The two-time Oscar winner may suffer the worst case of TDS. De Niro can’t complete a media interview, a practice he studiously avoided for years, without mentioning Trump in the ugliest way possible.
He famously <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zNr8Pf1QkY">cursed out the president</a> during 2018’s Tony Awards broadcast, drawing a standing ovation from the potential TDS sufferers.
Prior to that, the “Raging Bull” star openly wished to punch Trump in the nose, called him a gangster and said far worse whenever he stood before a mic or journalist’s pad.
<div id="attachment_80400" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80400" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-80400" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/deniro-2-1024x566.jpg" alt="Robert De Niro attends the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on January 19, 2020 in Los Angeles, California." width="800" height="442" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/deniro-2.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/deniro-2-300x166.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/deniro-2-768x425.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" />Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic via Getty Images</div>
2. John Cusack
The “Say Anything” star’s celebrity profile isn’t what it was when he was cranking out teen comedies in the ‘80s. Cusack still works, but his movies primarily debut on VOD and offer genre thrills over serious fare.
Has anyone actually seen recent Cusack movies like “River Runs Red,” “Never Grow Old” or “Distorted&#8221;?
Cusack grabs more attention now for his Twitter Trump rage. Consider the time he claimed the U.S. Military “abandoned” Trump. Or how he routinely lashes out at Trump voters as “<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-cusack-claims-military-abandoned-trump-remaining-supporters-racists">racists</a>,” echoing the worst comments of Trump critics. He also called Trump a “<a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/14/john-cusack-turns-doomsday-prophet-says-trump-a-te/">test run for true evil</a>.”
How bad can Cusack be? He even retweeted an <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2019/06/18/john-cusack-retweeted-anti-semitic-image-apologizes-and-blames-bot/1485431001/">anti-Semitic message</a> during one Twitter rage fest. He later deleted the comment, but not before briefly blaming a bot for the share. TDS can be accompanied by derious side effects.
<div id="attachment_80359" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80359" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-80359" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/John-Cusack-895x576.jpg" alt="John Cusack" width="800" height="515" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/John-Cusack-895x576.jpg 895w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/John-Cusack-300x193.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/John-Cusack-768x494.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/01/John-Cusack.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" />Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images</div>
3. Bette Midler
The truest sign of TDS is how sufferers rage against more than just the President. Their fury bubbles over to their kin, too. The formerly Divine Miss M falls squarely into this sad sub-category.
Sure, she’s shared a fake quote about Trump to her millions of online followers. Yes, she’s dubbed Trump a “<a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/1423050/bette-midler-slams-trump-cancer-on-country/">cancer on our country</a>.” But she steered into TDS, hard, by using racially charged insults against his fans, describing a group of black supporters behind the president as being his “<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/26/entertainment/bette-midler-blackground-tweet-trnd/index.html">blackground</a>.”
More recently, she dubbed First Lady Melania Trump an “illegal immigrant” and mocked her accent. She eventually <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/08/26/bette-midler-apologizes-mocking-melania-trumps-accent/5638265002/">apologized for the accent slam</a>.
Now, art is imitating life. Midler stars in the HBO comedy “Coastal Elites,” playing a <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/09/coastal-elites-hbo-exclusive-clips">character who rants about</a>, guess who, President Trump.

4. Rob Reiner
The “Sure Thing” director hasn’t made a good movie in, well, ages. He keeps trying, though, delivering mediocre fare (and that’s being kind) with duds like “Shock and Awe” and “Being Charlie.”
It’s a far, far cry from his days delivering “Stand By Me,” “The Princess Bride” and “This Is Spinal Tap,” all certifiable classics.
Reiner draws far more attention of late for his anti-Trump screeds, which make it sound like the Trump/Hitler comparisons are just too … kind. Sound excessive? Consider the Tweets.
Reiner said Trump’s racism inspired white supremacists <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/08/26/rob-reiner-trumps-racism-encouraging-white-supremacists-to-kill-black-people/'">to kill black people</a>. He predicted Trump’s recent Gettysburg speech would be an <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/08/10/rob-reiner-trump-gettysburg-speech-would-be-tribute-to-white-supremacy/">ode to White Supremacy.</a> The director also declared that Trump was actively <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/07/16/rob-reiner-trump-is-actively-trying-to-kill-our-children/">trying to kill our children.</a>
Even worse? Reiner leveraged his legendary father’s death to attack Trump. Carl Reiner passed at the age of 98 earlier this year, and his famous son said his pappy hoped to live long enough to see <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/07/05/carl-reiner-wanted-see-trump-ousted-white-house-daughter-says/5380073002/">Trump’s White House “eviction</a>.”

5. Jim Carrey
“Ace Ventura” doesn’t make us laugh anymore. The rubber-faced superstar either gave up on broad comedies or can’t get his shtick greenlit anymore. Getting old can be brutal in Hollywood, and you can’t talk out of your posterior forever.
That’s left Carrey making dark, twisted fare like the Showtime series “Kidding,” which limped along for two seasons before getting canceled.
He spends a large amount of time painting these days, but his art work isn’t focused on still lifes or Bob Ross-esque landscapes.
He vents his Trump rage onto canvases, attacking not just the president but nearly everyone associated with his administration in the most garish ways possible. That means Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other Trump officials get ghoulish portraits that make Edvard Munch’s “Scream” look like Glamour Shots.

He also singles out Trump supporters with his illustrations, another sign that his TDS is raging.
Carrey promised to <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/01/24/coincidence-jim-carrey-vows-no-more-trump-bashing-paintings-ahead-of-sonic-the-hedgehog-release/">halt his anti-Trump art</a> around the time his film “Sonic the Hedgehog“ hit theaters. He couldn’t stick to his pledge. Recently, he painted a picture of a MAGA hat wearing COVID-19 patient on a ventilator.

6. Stephen Colbert
Yes, every late night host is now officially part of The Resistance. Jimmy Fallon had to be bullied into the role, but <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/jimmy-fallons-re-education-trump/">he’s taken to it with aplomb of late</a>. Colbert remains the gold standard, the “clapter” machine who will stop a monologue cold to mimic a Daily Kos diarist.
All you need remember is Colbert calling Trump Vladimir Putin’s you-know-what holster to realize how far he’ll sink to insult the president.
Humor remains in short supply with your average Colbert rant. It’s more about spinning for Democrats or taking Team Trump out of context.
David Letterman, Colbert’s iconic predecessor, took a hard left turn at the end of his epic late night run. Still, he’ll be most remembered for his eccentric bits, his cagey humor and his willingness to shake up what late night TV represents.
Colbert’s legacy? He helped turn the affable format into a hard-left institution that actively chases away half the country on any given night.

7. Cher
The superstar wants nothing less than to turn back time to an America where Trump was merely a reality show star and real estate tycoon.
Alas, Doc Brown’s time machine isn’t actually a thing, so Cher spends far too many hours savaging Trump on Twitter. She does so with spittle-flecked fury … and plenty of ALL CAP pronouncements.
She’s hoped for Trump to be thrown in jail and then <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/cher-refuses-apologize-trump-sexually-assaulted-1439361">sodomized by an inmate</a>, said he “<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/07/12/cher-trump-kills-americans-without-a-thought/">kills Americans without a thought</a>” and called a second Trump term “<a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/08/30/cher-loses-it-if-trump-wins-in-november-its-end-of-democracy/">the end of Democracy.”</a>

8. Kathy Griffin
The D-list comic hasn’t been as vocally anti-Trump as she was at the start of Trump’s presidency. Then again, how could she top the stunt that set her career ablaze three years ago. For those living off the grid, or the planet, Griffin famously posed, ISIS-style, with the president’s severed head.
The D-lister cried, apologized and then took it all back, rebranding herself as a Colonel in the Hollywood Resistance’s Army.
Since then she’s made some extra cash hawking anti-Trump merch (complete with profanities) and dared to say she’s a free speech martyr. She occasionally gives Reiner and co. a run for their money, like the time earlier this year when she begged someone to <a href="https://variety.com/2020/biz/news/kathy-griffin-trump-tweet-syringe-controversy-backlash-1234617006/">inject the president with a syringe filled with air,</a> assuming that would be a fatal act.
