Priscilla Presley Accused of Taking Lisa Marie Off Life Support for Financial Gain
Priscilla Presley hit with a lawsuit
alleging she pulled the plug on her

daughter Lisa Marie’s life support to
gain control of Elvis’s estate.
This was his sanctuary. This was his
life.

Priscilla’s former business partners are
suing for $50 million. ET exclusive with
their lawyer Jordan Matthews today.
Why on earth would Priscilla want to

pull her own daughter off life support?
So that’s a good question. Look, the
short answer is we were aware of an
internal struggle that was going on with

Lisa and Priscilla at the time. There is
a lot of documentation to support our
claims.
The suit also claims that 80-year-old
Priscilla ultimately wanted to control
Graceland, allegedly saying, “I’m the

queen. I’m in charge of Graceland.”
Right before Lisa’s passing, my client
was with Priscilla and uh observed those
statements and was very concerned with
the nature of those statements.

Graceand is now owned by Priscilla’s
granddaughter, Riley Kio. Something Lisa
Marie told us was inevitable.
Always has been mine, Graceand. Always

will be. And when it’s no longer mine,
it will be my children’s. You know,
that’s that.
I want to read you this statement from
Priscilla’s lawyer, Marty Singer. He
says, “This is without a doubt one of
the most shameful, ridiculous,
salacious, and meritless lawsuits I have
seen in my practice.” What’s your
response to that? The truth is not
salacious, plain and simple.
