Weeks after Lisa Marie Presley‘s death, family sources have confirmed she underwent plastic surgery and relapsed on opioids in her final months, while desperately trying out weight loss strategies. She reportedly went through such drastic measures in a bid to look her best ahead of the award season, where the Elvis movie was lined up for various awards.
Lisa Marie Presley Underwent Weight Loss Surgery, Took Opioids Before Death
Speaking to TMZ, the source claimed that the late songstress and daughter of singing legend Elvis Presley underwent plastic surgery and lost up to 50 pounds two months before her appearance at the Golden Globes Award show. To achieve the weight loss goals, Lisa Marie Presley followed a strict regimen and took weight loss meds in the six weeks leading to the event.
She also began using opioids, resuming an addiction she struggled to break for years. While the alleged measures yielded results, evident in her trim appearance at the Globes alongside her mom, it took its toll on the star. The Golden Globes award presentation show took place days before Lisa Marie Presley’s death, and the star was on hand to witness Elvis shine in three major categories.
Despite looking her best, many couldn’t help noticing she appeared unsteady on her feet on the red carpet and needed help to maintain her balance. She also appeared to be slurring her words in the two interviews she granted at the event. TV personality and addiction specialist Dr. Drew concluded that the interview videos gave clear markers she was under the influence of something.
Despite these speculations surrounding her weight loss, opioid relapse, and plastic surgery, Lisa Marie Presley’s cause of death remains under review pending toxicology results. Meanwhile, a legal feud seems to be brewing in the songstress’s family. Her mom, Priscilla Presley filed legal documents contesting the 2016 amendment of the singer’s will. Lisa Marie’s mom deems the changes, which put the star’s daughter Riley Keough as trustee in her (Priscilla’s) stead as fraudulent.
These recent happenings could unveil a whole new perspective on Lisa Marie Presley’s death, including legal battles over custody and money, addiction, and weight loss struggles.
