What happens when the world’s biggest pop star marries the daughter of the King of Rock and Roll?
You might think it sounds like a beautiful fairy tale. But for Priscilla Presley, it seemed like a total nightmare.
In her book titled Softly, As I Leave You, Priscilla opens up about the time her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, secretly married the famous singer Michael Jackson in 1994.
The world was shocked by the news, but nobody was more upset than Lisa Marie’s own mother. Priscilla shares the dark secrets behind the marriage and why she tried to stop it.
Priscilla writes that she was completely horrified when she heard the news. She truly believed that Michael Jackson did not love her daughter at all. Instead, she felt he was just using Lisa Marie to get close to the famous Presley family name.
Priscilla Presley Reveals Why Michael Jackson & Lisa Marie NEVER Should Have Married!! | The detail.
Priscilla boldly states that the King of Pop was just trying to team up with Elvis Presley’s ghost to make himself look better in the public eye.
This giant secret caused a massive fight between the mother and daughter. Lisa Marie did not invite her mother to the wedding because she knew Priscilla disapproved.
To make things stranger, Priscilla says that Michael Jackson purposely avoided her and never wanted to visit her house. This made Priscilla feel certain that Michael wanted the famous Presley history, but not the actual family.
Sadly, this big fight was merely the start of a very rocky relationship between Priscilla and Lisa Marie that lasted for decades. Years later, they had another huge argument during a family divorce, and Priscilla says their relationship never truly fixed itself after that.
Even though Lisa Marie wrote in her own journal that her love with Michael was totally real, her mother never believed it. Priscilla’s story shows us that even inside the most famous families on Earth, fame and secrets can break hearts just like they do anywhere else.
