Overview

• Presley writes that Elvis phoned after a performance at 2 a.m. while she was in bed with then‑boyfriend Robert Kardashian and that neither man ever knew of the coincidence.
• She says Elvis "would have gone ballistic" and notes he "always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one," describing why she rushed to take the call in another room.
• Presley recalls dating Kardashian in 1975 for about a year, turning down the prospect of marriage due to his long work hours, and remaining friends until a final hospital call arranged by Kim Kardashian before his 2003 death.
• Other excerpts criticize Michael Jackson’s marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, with Priscilla calling him "manipulative," saying she was "appalled" by the union and recounting Lisa Marie’s confirmation that the relationship was physical.
• The revelations appear in Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, with multiple outlets publishing advance excerpts ahead of the book’s Sept. 23 release.
