Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir details chilling allegations about her childhood.

In “From Here to the Great Unknown,” a book published following her death in January 2023 with assistance from her daughter Riley Keough, Lisa reveals accounts of how her mother Priscilla Presley’s long-term boyfriend Michael Edwards is said to have molested her when she was just 10 years old. Priscilla had been in a relationship with the actor, known for films like “Mommie Dearest” and “Terminator 2,” for approximately seven years.

Nevertheless, Michael, who is currently 80 years old, shared with Page Six that nobody from the publishing company reached out to him for comment regarding the memoir. He also expressed his disbelief about Lisa’s claims, stating, “I’m in shock; that’s not true… I was like a father to Lisa Marie.

TopMob News has contacted Michael and representatives for both Priscilla and Riley, seeking their comments, however, we are still waiting for their responses.

In 1988, Michael published a memoir of his own entitled “Priscilla, Elvis and Me“. This book recounted his experiences living with Priscilla and their daughter Lisa, who was nine years old at the time. It also discussed the complicated emotions he experienced as Lisa grew up.

On a particular day, Michael described spending the afternoon swimming with Lisa. At some point during their swim, Lisa held onto him while he playfully lifted her up and down.

He expresses, “A strong desire for Lisa sexually overcame me.” Or alternatively, “He felt a powerful sexual attraction towards Lisa.

In her memoir, Lisa first claimed that Michael supposedly made an inappropriate touch during sleep. She recounted waking up to discover him kneeling beside her bed, tracing his finger along her leg beneath the covers. If she shifted, he would stop – so she stayed still.

Lisa also detailed a second disturbing interaction which allegedly occurred when she was 10.

In a conversation we had, he shared that he would guide me about changes as I grew older,” Lisa penned down. “He placed his hand on my chest, pointing out areas where a man would touch, and even went further by placing his hand intimately between my legs. He hinted at more intimate touches there. I believe he gave me a soft kiss before departing that evening.

Over time, his affection for Lisa created tension with Priscilla, ultimately causing their relationship to dissolve.

“As it turned out, Priscilla’s concerns were well-founded,” Michael notes.

He added, “When Lisa wrapped her arms around me affectionately and called me ‘Merky’, one of her numerous nicknames for me, saying, ‘I adore you. You’re so endearing,’ I became soft. Unbeknownst to her, she radiated the same magnetic allure that her father had used to captivate millions.

However, although Lisa had spoken about Michael’s book back in 2003, stating to Playboy that “He’s a sick individual. He would try to enter my room and act inappropriately while drunk,” she didn’t delve deeper into her accusations until she wrote her own memoir.

In her memoir, Lisa first claimed that Michael supposedly made an inappropriate gesture towards her, which took place when she was asleep in bed. She explained that she “awoke to discover him kneeling beside my bed, tracing his finger up my leg beneath the sheets. If I stirred, he would stop – so I intentionally moved.

Lisa also detailed a second disturbing interaction which allegedly occurred when she was 10.

In her writing, Lisa described an encounter where “He told me he would explain what would happen to me as I grew older.” She added that during the conversation, he was touching her chest and saying a man would touch certain areas. He also placed his hand between her legs and mentioned other areas he said would be touched. According to her account, he gave her a gentle kiss before leaving that evening.

As reported by Lisa, following her sharing the incident with her, Priscilla hurriedly entered her room, shutting the door forcefully. Later on, she summoned Lisa and mentioned that Edwards desired to express his apologies.

During his apology, Lisa mentioned that the actor who played Mommie Dearest explained his actions by referring to his experience abroad. He told Lisa, “I’m really sorry, but in Europe, they teach children this way, so that’s what I was doing.

Lisa, however, claimed the abuse continued.

She penned that he would eventually start touching and spanking her, mentioning that these actions would leave bruises on her. She noted that he’d often demand she not look at him, saying, “Don’t look at me,” or “don’t turn your head.” From this, it seems to her that he was masturbating in secret.
