Priscilla Presley is facing new allegations in an amended $50 million lawsuit, which claims she played a role in Elvis Presley’s death through financial pressure. Former business partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko allege that Presley placed a financial lien on Graceland shortly before Elvis’ death, which they claim contributed to his passing. The lawsuit, obtained by Fox News Digital, states that this financial pressure ‘exerted undue pressure’ on Elvis and pushed him to his death. In response, Presley’s attorney, Marty Singer, has dismissed the claims as absurd and part of a ‘malicious character assassination.’ The lawsuit also extends to her daughter Lisa Marie’s death, accusing Presley of acting against her medical wishes. Meanwhile, Presley is also suing Kruse and Fialko for elder abuse and fraud.
The lawsuit, initially filed in August, alleged fraud and breach of contract. Kruse and Fialko claimed that Presley used them to financially exploit her name, image, and likeness, hiding the fact that she had sold those rights decades earlier. The lawsuit also alleged that Presley made a calculated move in the final hours of Lisa Marie’s life, accusing her of allegedly pulling her daughter off life support against her wishes. The case has generated significant public attention, with both sides providing strong denials and accusations. The legal battle has sparked debate about the intersection of personal relationships, financial disputes, and legal rights. As the legal proceedings unfold, both parties are preparing for a protracted and highly publicized courtroom battle.
