Overview

  • Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed a fraud and breach-of-contract suit in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking over $50 million in damages against Priscilla Presley.
  • The complaint alleges Presley exploited her daughter’s January 2023 hospitalization by withdrawing life-prolonging treatment to seize control of Lisa Marie’s trust and Graceland.
  • Plaintiffs claim Presley concealed a 2005 sale of her name, image and likeness rights to Elvis Presley Enterprises while securing their investment and millions in brand deals.
  • Priscilla Presley’s attorney, Marty Singer, denounces the lawsuit as a fabricated and malicious publicity stunt and vows to move for its dismissal.
  • The new suit adds to a tangle of ongoing litigation, including Presley’s 2024 elder-abuse suit against Kruse and Fialko and a separate Elvis Estate action over archival documents.
