Amended $50 Million Suit Accuses Priscilla Presley of Pressuring Elvis as Plaintiffs File Purported Memoir Pages

The filing expands a business dispute with allegations tied to Elvis’s final months, attaching excerpts said to be from Priscilla’s forthcoming memoir as exhibits.

Overview

  • Former advisers Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed an amended complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Sept. 5, adding claims that Priscilla Presley placed a $494,024.49 lien on Graceland in April 1977 and “exerted undue pressure” on Elvis before his death.
  • The plaintiffs also continue to allege Priscilla prematurely discontinued life support for Lisa Marie Presley in 2023 despite an advance directive requesting life prolongation, assertions Priscilla has rejected.
  • The amended filing includes two pages purportedly from Priscilla’s upcoming memoir that describe her account of Lisa Marie’s final hours and a doctor asking whether to keep her on a machine.
  • Priscilla’s attorney Marty Singer dismissed the new allegations as absurd and despicable, and Priscilla and Riley Keough issued a rare joint statement calling the claims untrue and deeply hurtful.
  • No court has ruled on the new allegations; related cases remain active, with a hearing in Priscilla’s elder‑abuse suit set next week and a case‑management conference in the advisers’ action scheduled for February.
