Priscilla Presley locked in feud with former business partners

More than two years ago, actress Riley Keough held a high -profile legal dispute with her grandmother Priscilla Presley on control over the Presley Family Trust. The trial arose after the sudden death of Lisa Marie Presley in January 2023 and placed the Presley family’s messy affairs in public sight.

Behind the scenes brew another creepy fight for money. Priscilla Presley had brought a Florida auctioneer and a Tennessee entrepreneur to help manage her business relationships in 2022, a time when the former advisers say in court documents she had spent his way into financial alleys.

By the end of 2023, however, the relationship was sour and the parties began to trade in litigation. In court papers filed in Florida and California, the advisers who administered Ms. Presley’s business interests under the name Priscilla Presley Partners, accused her of violating their contracts while Ms. Presley has accused its former partners of financial elderly abuse and other offenses.

The latest Salvo arrived this week at Los Angeles Superior Court, where the auction holder, Brigitte Kruse, and the entrepreneur, Kevin Fialko, defendant Ms. Presley again and accused her of fraud in court papers seeking at least $ 50 million in injuries.

In the court papers, lawyers made for Mrs. Kruse and Mr. Fialko is also a bold accusation that is sure to escalate the dispute: After Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital in 2023 after a cardiac arrest, says the trial, “Priscilla pulled the plug” on her daughter as part of an effort to “regain control” of family conditions.

“Priscilla, who knew that Lisa was taking steps to remove her as the only administrator of Lisa’s irrevocable life insurance trust, saw an opportunity to regain control,” the trial said.
