'Priscilla': New Film Reveals Elvis Presley's Controlling Behavior Towards Priscilla

Sofia Coppola's Biopic, Based on Priscilla Presley's Memoir, Highlights Elvis's Abusive and Manipulative Nature

Sofia Coppola's biopic 'Priscilla' is based on Priscilla Presley's 1985 memoir 'Elvis and Me', revealing Elvis Presley's controlling and abusive behavior towards Priscilla.
The film depicts Elvis as physically and emotionally abusive, with Priscilla recognizing a power imbalance in their relationship, where she saw him almost as a God.
Elvis molded Priscilla into his ideal of a perfect woman, controlling her looks and opinions, and expected her to remain 'untouched' before marriage, while he was unfaithful.
Elvis was against Priscilla pursuing her own career, telling her 'It's either me or a career,' when she landed a job as a model.
Priscilla felt she couldn't depend on Elvis during difficult periods, and he was possessive and jealous when she developed friendships with other men at Graceland.
