The plaintiffs, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, allege that Priscilla Presley, 80, ignored her daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s health issues in order to “regain control over the legacy and assets of Elvis Presley.”

“Priscilla, who knew that Lisa was in the process of taking steps to remove her as the sole trustee of Lisa’s irrevocable life insurance trust, saw an opportunity to regain control,” the lawsuit states.

According to Kruse and Fialko, who are former business partners of Priscilla Presley, she ignored Lisa Marie’s health issues during the Golden Globes in January 2023. Lisa suffered cardiac arrest days later and died at the age of 54.

Priscilla allegedly rushed to the hospital, where she supposedly “turned off the machines” before her granddaughter, Riley Keough, could arrive, despite a “clear directive” from Lisa to “prolong her life,” according to the complaint.

The plaintiffs also claim that Priscilla Presley tried to defraud her business partners to “destroy reputations with unfounded allegations.” They further added that Keough, 36, “100%” supports her grandmother’s decision.

Marty Singer, Priscilla’s attorney, called the lawsuit “one of the most shameful, ridiculous, sensationalist, and meritless actions” he has ever seen in his life.

In the new lawsuit, the plaintiffs are seeking at least $50 million in damages and are demanding a jury trial.
