Priscilla is being accused of causing her daughter Lisa Marie‘s passing. In the filing, her former business partners also claim that Priscilla put “undue [financial] pressure” on Elvis Presley, leading to his own death.
“We are aware of the latest allegations from Brigitte Kruse. These claims are not only untrue but also deeply hurtful. Our family is, and always has been, united in love and respect for one another,” the joint statement reads.
The statement goes on to reference the family members named in the filing, saying, “Our shared priority remains honoring Lisa Marie’s memory and protecting Elvis’ legacy with dignity. We will not allow outside voices to divide us or to diminish the strength of our bond as a family.”
Priscilla‘s lawyer denied the claims that she was attempting to regain control of Elvis‘ estate. In a statement to People, her lawyer said, “Priscilla did not have anything to do with the assassination of JFK, she did not cover up Area 51, she did not fake the moon landing, and she is not secretly keeping Bigfoot locked in a cabin in Canada.”
