Priscilla Presley is navigating what insiders describe as a potentially devastating storm of lawsuits, family conflict, and public scrutiny that has left many worried about her health and financial stability.
The Presley family drama is never-ending. Despite Elvis Presley and his only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, passing, it is left to his ex-wife, Priscilla, to keep the family name in the headlines, one way or another.
Priscilla Presley is currently embroiled in a flurry of civil suits, including a $50 million breach of contract case brought by her ex-business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko. The pair accuse Priscilla of greed and fractured family relationships, pointing to her alleged actions regarding the estate of her late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
As previously reported, Priscilla has been quite busy. Her new memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, has not only fans in an uproar but also appears to be causing Priscilla a lot of added drama.
In the book, fans are irate over the way that Priscilla is spilling Presley family secrets on her former late husband, Elvis, and her late daughter Lisa Marie. Both Lisa and Elvis were very private people and preferred to keep their private lives out of the public eye as much as possible.

So to see the vile and deeply personal details that Priscilla is outing has Presley family members and fans outraged. Some of it is also allegedly being used against Priscilla within the current lawsuits.
Radar Online reports that evidence in the amended lawsuit claims that Riley Keough, Lisa Marie’s daughter, sent a scathing email to her grandmother after Priscilla contested Lisa Marie’s living trust shortly after her untimely death at 54.
The suit also alleges that Priscilla acted to financially benefit herself during her daughter’s health crisis, and that she placed extreme pressure on Elvis himself before he died in 1977. It is all just adding more fuel to the fire, and some fans couldn’t be more pleased to see karma aiming at Priscilla Presley.
However, insiders say it is taking a toll on her. Sources close to Presley claim the once vibrant Hollywood figure now appears frail and shaken, with the stress and financial strain remaining undeniable.
“These lawsuits are hurting her, emotionally and financially,” adds Radar’s insider. “Referring to the money Priscilla earns on a grueling speakers circuit. She’s 80 years old. I don’t know if she can survive all of this. The last I saw her, she seemed shaky and very frail,” the concerned source claims.
While fans continue to blast Priscilla’s recently released memoir, accusing her of betraying the legacies of Elvis and Lisa Marie for profit. Some are asking whether the avalanche of lawsuits and public scrutiny could be her karmic reckoning.
Despite her legal team’s defense, the path ahead looks grueling and may be her most challenging yet. Time will tell if the drama will be worth it for Priscilla Presley in the end.
