Priscilla Presley accused of having detached the machinery who kept their daughter alive

Priscilla Presleyex -wife of the King of Rock Elvis, returns to be talked about, even if otherwise from other times, not by his will. The woman was in fact sued by his former business partnersthe managers of Priscilla Presley Partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, with theaccuses of accelerating the death of his daughter Lisa Marie Presley, in order to get her hands on her trustee fund and obtain the management of the Graceland estate, in Memphis, belonged to the father and became a museum since 1982.

In the cause filed in Los Angeles, the two claim that the widow, married to Elvis from 1967 to 1973, would have “ignored the worsening of the health conditions of the daughter and detached the plug a few hours after hospitalization”, and ask for about 50 million dollars for violation of the contract and fraud.

Lisa Marie Presley died at the age of 54 on January 12, 2023 due to an intestinal occlusion. According to the New York Post which first reported the news, just before he would have tried to motherwith which he had a defined tumultuous and precarious relationship, The role of unique trustee of the irrevocable insurance trust on his life And she, having aware of it, just to avoid this epilogue he would have acted in advance, abruptly interrupts his life.

A spanasted thesis, according to the accusation, also by the phrase “I am the queen. I am responsible for Graceland », pronounced by Priscilla a week after the death of his daughter.

Priscilla Presley’s response immediate, who made it known to consider the complaint «shameful, ridiculous and an offense to my reputation», And his lawyer Marty Singer, according to which the move of the two former members would be a personal retaliation. “This is nothing more than a sad and fierce attempt to falsely muddy the reputation of an 80 -year -old woman, as a clear retaliation to have intended a cause to repair the illegal conduct of Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko and their accomplices,” he said.

Last summer, Priscilla in fact filed a cause against them, claiming to have been the victim of financial abuse and that Kruse, among others, had taken advantage of her stealing 1 million dollars. Of the death of his daughter, Priscilla Presley had spoken to the Venice Film Festival In September 2024, on the occasion of the presentation of PriscillaSofia Coppola’s biopic dedicated to her.

Two days before that tragic January 12, mother and daughter had been together with the Golden Globe ceremony and on the evening of January 10, Lisa Marie had accused severe pain in the belly, which had led her to return home immediately. Two days later, ex -husband Danny Keough would have contacted Priscilla by phone to communicate her that her daughter had not felt well and that she had been hospitalized. “I immediately got into the car, but she was already gone. I still can’t believe it. I don’t wish any mother“, He said in an interview with Lido.

According to Priscilla, therefore, on her arrival the daughter would have already been dead. A thesis that contrasts with that of the accusation which, however, is very difficult to demonstrate, also because they would miss medical findings. The official relationship of the autopsy performed on Lisa Marie has in fact found the absence of evidence of injuries or illegal acts and sanctioned that death has come naturally, as a long -term complication of a bariatric surgery carried out years before it has led to adhesions in a stretch of the small intestine, the cause of the occlusion.

Unfortunately it is not the first time that the theme ofLegity of Elvis He arrives in the newspapers. In 1993, years after the death of the King of Rock, at the age of 25 Lisa Marie received the entire assets – estimated at about 100 million dollars including Graceland – and from that moment the mother tried several times to contrast its exclusive management.

A battle conceded after the death of Lisa Mariewho also involved his daughter Riley Keough, with her first husband Danny Keough.

Although Riley had been appointed by the only beneficiary mother, Priscilla sought an extrajudicial agreement with which in the end he obtained one million dollars, the reimbursement of legal fees and the Possibility to be buried in Gracelandwhich however remains the exclusive property of Riley.
