LOS ANGELES — In a stunning and emotional twist in the Presley family’s ongoing legal saga, Riley Keough has come forward to “100% support” her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, as shocking new allegations emerge — including claims that Priscilla “pulled the plug” on her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, against her wishes.
The explosive accusations were filed by Brigitte Kruse, a former business associate who co-founded Priscilla Presley Enterprises LLC in 2022. Kruse’s $50 million lawsuit originally focused on contract breaches but has since spiraled into deeply personal territory — alleging nothing short of betrayal and moral outrage.
According to court filings, Kruse claims that on the day of Lisa Marie’s tragic death in January 2023, Priscilla ignored her daughter’s directives to remain on life support. The document reads chillingly:
“Although Lisa explicitly directed to ‘sustain life,’ Priscilla ordered the removal of life support only hours after Lisa was admitted — before her granddaughter Riley could even arrive at the hospital.”
These claims ignited a storm of outrage among fans — and within the Presley family itself.
But Marty Singer, Priscilla Presley’s powerful attorney, wasted no time firing back.
“Riley fully supports her grandmother and is equally outraged by this cruel and baseless attack by Kruse,” Singer told the press in an official statement. “This is nothing more than a malicious attempt to exploit a family tragedy for personal gain. The accusations are entirely fabricated and hold no legal or factual merit.”
Singer emphasized that the Presley family remains “united and resolute” in the face of the allegations, making it clear that there is no rift between grandmother and granddaughter — only solidarity and grief.
The public display of loyalty marks a dramatic turnaround after last year’s headlines hinting at tension between Priscilla and Riley following Lisa Marie’s death. Their brief dispute centered on the amendment to Lisa’s living trust, which made Riley the sole trustee of the Presley estate, including Graceland, Elvis’s iconic mansion. The legal disagreement, which once threatened to divide the family, was peacefully resolved in May 2023.
Speaking to Vanity Fair later that year, Riley sought to end the rumors once and for all:
“We’ve always been close. There was never any real fight between us.”
Their emotional reunion at the 2024 Emmy Awards, where they appeared side by side, smiling and embracing, symbolized a public reconciliation that Presley fans around the world cheered for.
Meanwhile, Kruse’s lawsuit continues to unravel more controversial claims — including a resurfaced rumor that Priscilla was barred from using the Presley surname after her 1972 divorce from Elvis Presley. But court records from the official decree reveal no such clause.
And in perhaps the most poignant contradiction to that myth, archival concert audio from 1974 captures Elvis himself warmly introducing her to a crowd:
“My ex-wife Priscilla, she’s right here tonight. Honey, stand up… oh, she’s beautiful, ain’t she? I tell ya, when I pick ‘em, I pick ‘em right!”
Those words — dripping with affection and admiration — directly defy the decades-old whispers that the King wanted her erased from his legacy.
Adding to the family’s counteroffensive, Priscilla Presley has now filed a countersuit accusing Kruse of financial elder abuse, claiming she was manipulated into signing over large portions of her income under false pretenses.
The legal war has turned heartbreakingly personal, touching the most sensitive nerve imaginable — the final moments of Lisa Marie’s life. Fans around the globe are expressing disbelief and sorrow over the accusations, many calling it “a cruel exploitation of grief.”
As one close family friend told People magazine,
“Priscilla adored her daughter. To suggest she would do anything to harm her is beyond obscene.”
For now, Riley Keough’s unwavering defense of her grandmother paints a picture of a family determined to survive — united by love, scarred by loss, and now forced to fight for their legacy under the blinding glare of public scrutiny.
But as the courtroom drama deepens, one haunting question lingers over the Presley dynasty:
Will truth or tragedy define their name this time?
