A bombshell lawsuit has rocked the Presley family, accusing Priscilla Presley of prioritizing power and wealth over her daughter Lisa Marie's well-being. Former business partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko allege that Priscilla's actions may have even hastened Lisa Marie's death in a bid to secure control of Elvis Presley's estate.
The Lawsuit's Explosive Claims
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, paints a damning picture of Priscilla Presley. Kruse and Fialko claim she was obsessed with being known, like Elvis, and relentlessly pursued power, regardless of the cost. They allege she lived a lavish lifestyle, burning through millions and ultimately prioritizing her own image and financial gain.
The plaintiffs further allege that Priscilla ignored Lisa Marie's deteriorating health in the lead-up to her death. They claim Lisa Marie complained to her mother about health issues before the Golden Globes in January 2023, but Priscilla dismissed the warning signs. The lawsuit even suggests Priscilla prematurely removed Lisa Marie from life support before her granddaughter, Riley Keough, could arrive at the hospital.
Priscilla's Response: A "Shameful" Attack
Priscilla Presley's attorney, Marty Singer, has vehemently denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit "one of the most shameful, ridiculous, salacious, and meritless lawsuits I have seen in my practice." He insists the claims are fabricated and designed to tarnish Priscilla's reputation.
Riley Keough Stands by Her Grandmother
Despite the gravity of the accusations, Riley Keough reportedly stands firmly behind her grandmother. According to Singer, Keough is "equally disgusted" with the lawsuit and believes it's a malicious attempt to ruin Priscilla's life.
The legal battle is expected to be fierce, with both sides prepared to fight vigorously. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the Presley family and the legacy of Elvis Presley.
