The Presley family is no stranger to drama, but a massive $50 million lawsuit has brought forward the most shocking claims yet.
Two former business partners are suing Priscilla Presley, the ex-wife of rock icon Elvis Presley. They are making serious accusations about money, hidden treasures, and even how Priscilla’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, passed away.
The people behind the lawsuit are Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko. In 2022, Priscilla hired them to help manage her brand and make money from her famous name. However, Priscilla fired them in late 2023. Now, the ex-partners are angry and suing for fraud and breach of contract. They claim Priscilla used them and broke her promises.
The most dramatic part of the lawsuit is about Lisa Marie’s tragic death in January 2023. The ex-partners claim that Priscilla “pulled the plug” and took Lisa Marie off life support after just a few hours in the hospital.
Did Priscilla Presley Pull the Plug on Lisa Marie?
They allege Priscilla did this quickly to keep control of the family’s money and the famous Graceland estate before Lisa Marie could remove her as the person in charge.
Priscilla’s team has completely denied these claims, calling them a horrible lie meant to ruin her reputation. Priscilla has explained that her daughter had very little brain activity, and she made the heartbreaking choice with doctors because she did not want her daughter to suffer.
Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, is also standing by her grandmother and calls the lawsuit disgusting.
On top of that, the lawsuit says Priscilla hid a secret jewelry and memorabilia collection worth $25 million. They claim she lied to the government, saying it was only worth $6,000, to avoid paying high taxes.
It is important to remember that these are just claims made in a court battle, not proven facts. The nasty legal fight shows that even years after Elvis left the building, the war over his fortune is far from over.
