Overview
- Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed a fraud and breach of contract lawsuit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking more than $50 million in damages from Priscilla Presley.
- The complaint alleges Presley secretly sold her name, image and likeness rights in 2005 for $6.5 million and failed to disclose that deal while securing investments and brand partnerships.
- Plaintiffs contend Presley withdrew life-prolonging treatment from her daughter Lisa Marie within hours of her hospital admission to eliminate a threat to her control of the Promenade Trust and Graceland.
- Priscilla’s attorney Marty Singer called the suit “shameful,” “meritless” and a retaliatory publicity stunt, expressing confidence the case will be dismissed.
- This filing escalates a broader legal fight that includes Priscilla’s 2024 elder abuse suit and paused Florida breach claims, with outcomes set to shape control of Presley family IP and Graceland.
