Overview
- Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed an amended complaint in Los Angeles on Sept. 5 alleging Priscilla Presley placed a $494,024.49 lien on Graceland in April 1977, claiming it exerted undue pressure on Elvis months before he died.
- The filing also revives claims that Priscilla directed the withdrawal of life support from Lisa Marie Presley in 2023 despite an advance directive to prolong care, assertions Priscilla has previously denied.
- Exhibits attached to the complaint include two pages purportedly from Priscilla’s forthcoming memoir describing hospital discussions about life support and a letter and messages from Riley Keough referencing family legal tensions.
- Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough issued a joint statement calling the new accusations untrue and deeply hurtful, emphasizing their focus on honoring Lisa Marie’s memory and protecting Elvis’ legacy.
- Priscilla’s attorney Marty Singer labeled the allegations absurd and despicable while highlighting Priscilla’s separate elder-abuse suit accusing the plaintiffs of misappropriating about $1 million; plaintiffs’ counsel says documents back their claims and no court has ruled on the new accusations.
