Priscilla Presley’s New Memoir Recounts 2 a.m. Elvis Call During Kardashian Romance and Labels Michael Jackson ‘Manipulative’

The disclosures come days before publication, with outlets circulating excerpts from her first‑hand account.

Overview

  • Priscilla Presley writes that Elvis phoned her around 2 a.m. while she was in bed with Robert Kardashian and that she feared his reaction because he carried guns.
  • She says Kardashian never knew Elvis had called that night, and Elvis never learned she was dating the attorney during their 1975–76 relationship.
  • Presley recalls declining Kardashian’s marriage hopes and remaining friends, noting a final hospital conversation in 2003 that she says Kim Kardashian helped arrange.
  • In the book she calls Michael Jackson a “manipulative man,” says she was appalled by his 1994 marriage to Lisa Marie, and recounts that he sought contact during his abuse scandal, which he denied.
  • Presley also writes that she refused to sign a deposition supporting Lisa Marie’s allegations against Michael Lockwood, saying it would have been perjury, a decision she believes deepened their estrangement.
