Overview

• Presley recounts a 2 a.m. call from Elvis while she was in bed with Robert Kardashian, writing that Elvis always carried a loaded gun and never learned about the relationship.
• She says she dated Kardashian in 1975 after her divorce, declined his desire to marry, and remained friends until his 2003 death, with Kim Kardashian arranging their final hospital call.
• In the book, Presley calls Michael Jackson a manipulative man, says she was appalled by his 1994 marriage to Lisa Marie, and argues he sought good publicity during abuse allegations he denied.
• Presley writes that Lisa Marie told her the marriage was physical, claims Jackson avoided her at family gatherings and pushed for a baby, and says she urged her daughter to wait.
• The memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, also includes Presley’s first‑person account of Lisa Marie’s final hours in January 2023 and is slated for publication on Sept. 23.
