Priscilla Presley never seems to step out of the spotlight. It is always one shocking drama after the next. These days, they all seem to be tied to countless courtroom visits. At 80 years old, many feel she is dealing with more than most people her age should. Especially when it comes to reliving her most painful memories and her daughter Lisa Marie Presley‘s death.
These days, Priscilla Presley is allegedly dealing with a lot of pain. The former wife of music icon Elvis Presley has a new memoir, Softly, as I Leave You: Life After Elvis, hitting shelves on September 23. And it is said to be full of deep, dark emotion, reliving Priscilla’s life of tragedy and loss. But many feel there is more than meets the eye going on behind the scenes.
As previously reported, Priscilla is dealing with some wild accusations being thrown at her in a new lawsuit. Priscilla’s former business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, have filed a $50 million countersuit, claiming Priscilla refused to pay them. They also allege that the former Mrs. Elvis Presley may have had her hands in more than fans initially thought, especially regarding the deaths of Elvis and their daughter Lisa Marie Presley.
More To the Presley Family Mystery Than Meets The Eye
In her latest memoir, Priscilla Presley opens up about the deaths of her loved ones. Especially Lisa Marie Presley. The grief-stricken mother recounts the agonizing hours in the hospital as her daughter clung to life. Lisa, who passed away in 2023 at just 54, had suffered a cardiac arrest that was later linked to complications from bariatric surgery.
According to Priscilla, she knew the outcome the moment she stepped into her daughter’s hospital room. Machines kept her daughter’s body functioning, but her mother knew immediately that Lisa Marie was already gone, according to The Sun.
Doctors assured her there was no chance of recovery, leaving the devastated Priscilla to make the hardest decision of her lifetime, to end her daughter’s life support. She details the moments in the hospital as staff began removing the life support. She recalls falling, sobbing uncontrollably, and struggling to even process the goodbye.
Will Presley Family Secrets Be Buried With Priscilla Presley?
“It was unbearable. I began to sob. I don’t remember falling. After that, everything went dark. I can’t remember. I don’t want to remember,” she struggles to recollect.
Many Presley fans question the timing of Priscilla Presley’s book. Why now, when all the recent accusations alleging that the wife and mother may have played a bigger role in Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley’s deaths than anyone could ever imagine?
The court documents paint Priscilla Presley as a manipulative and controlling force in the Presley family. They allege that Priscilla was someone who reportedly went to any lengths to control Elvis Presley’s earnings and later Lisa Marie’s inheritance.
Could the timing of Priscilla Presley’s book and the pending $50 million lawsuit go hand in hand? Some feel that it is allegedly her last attempt to manipulate the narrative, to have what could be her final say in the Presley fortune and legacy. Others feel it is a coincidence.
Whether true or not. The claims are enough to cast a shadow of doubt over her public image and add to the numerous Presley family conspiracy theories that appear to grow in numbers over the decades. Either way, it only shows that Priscilla may be the only Presley left with the answers to these mysteries. If so, the family’s deepest darkest secrets may start and end with her.
