Priscilla Presley’s legal team is fighting back.
In simpler terms, Priscilla’s attorney, Marty Singer, is strongly denying a recently filed lawsuit by former business partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, as reported by NBC News. The lawsuit accuses Priscilla of neglecting the health deterioration of her daughter Lisa Marie Presley, forcibly removing her from life support against her daughter’s expressed wishes, and orchestrating a scheme to regain control over Elvis Presley’s estate.
In an interview with People, the singer described the lawsuit as “one of the most disgraceful, absurd, scandalous, and baseless legal actions I’ve encountered during my career.
He additionally claimed it was merely “a disheartening, malicious effort aimed at unfairly damaging the honorable image of an elderly lady who is eighty years old.
The singer subsequently spoke about his daughter’s relationship with Riley Keough, following a recent lawsuit claim that Priscilla hastened Lisa Marie’s life support termination prior to Keough’s arrival at the hospital.
The attorney stated that Keough fully supports her grandmother and shares her disgust equally towards the recent, harsh effort by Kruse aimed at damaging her grandmother’s reputation.
TopMob News has attempted to get a response from Priscilla’s lawyers regarding the matter, but have not received a reply as of now. Similarly, NBC News has tried to contact Keough, however, their representative was unavailable for immediate comment.
According to Kruse and Fialko, they claim that they haven’t been compensated for the financial assistance they offered Priscilla, such as helping her navigate out of debt.
Kruse and Fialko assert that they were not paid for their work in aiding Priscilla with managing her finances, including getting her out of debt.
Additionally, they charge her with fraud, as well as other claims such as breach of contractual obligations. This is due to her assertion that she possessed the rights to capitalize on her name, picture, and persona, yet she allegedly omitted mentioning a 2005 purchase and sale agreement where she received $6.5 million in exchange for the right to exploit her name, image, and likeness.
Kruse and Fialko are seeking at least $50 million in damages and demand a jury trial.

The lawsuit, filed on August 11, focuses on Lisa Marie’s passing in 2023. It claims that during the Golden Globes on January 10, Lisa appeared unwell and shared concerns about her health with Priscilla. However, Priscilla is alleged to have disregarded clear indications of distress.
Subsequently, as stated in the lawsuit, when Lisa Marie suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital on January 12, Priscilla allegedly disconnected life support shortly after admission, before Lisa Marie’s granddaughter, Riley, could reach the hospital, despite Lisa Marie’s explicit wish to prolong her life.
In simpler terms, the lawsuit states that Priscilla requested Kruse to release a public announcement about Lisa Marie’s death, so she could shape the story herself.
According to Kruse and Fialko, they claim that they haven’t been compensated for the financial assistance they offered Priscilla, which encompassed guidance on managing her debts effectively.
They’ve additionally charged her with fraud, along with other claims like breaking several contracts. The accusation is that she claimed ownership over the rights to use her name, picture, and identity, but failed to disclose that she had already signed a purchase and sale agreement in 2005 for these rights, which came at a cost of $6.5 million.
Kruse and Fialko are seeking at least $50 million in damages and demand a jury trial.
