Priscilla Presley<\/a> is being sued by former business partners right now and an exhibit in the lawsuit includes a personal letter that her granddaughter Riley Keough<\/a> wrote to her in January 2023, following the death of Lisa Marie Presley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elvis\u2018 former wife is being accused of \u201cfraud in the inducement, breach of contract, conversion, misappropriation of name and likeness, and intentional interference with contract and prospective economic advantage,\u201d according to People<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Riley allegedly wrote a letter to Priscilla to say how hurt she was to be getting \u201ccalled about the will, less than 24 hours after my mother passed.\u201d <\/p>\n

In the letter, Riley alleges that Lisa Marie felt financially and personally betrayed by Priscilla and that she had been wanting to file a lawsuit in the weeks leading up to her death. <\/p>\n

Riley was eventually named as the sole trustee<\/a> for her mom\u2019s estate and Priscilla says they\u2019re now on good terms<\/a>. The photo pictured here was taken in January 2024, after the feud. <\/p>\n

So, what did that letter say?<\/p>\n

\"Riley<\/p>\n

Hello,<\/p>\n

Unfortunately Nona as you are taking me to court I am being forced to defend my mother\u2019s wishes legally and publicly which would not have been my choice.<\/p>\n

It is really hurtful that after years of me trying to resolve your and my mother\u2019s broken relationship and restore our family, you are taking me, of all people to court. I have protected you from lawsuits from my mother, often advocating for you and always tried to keep everyone operating out of love. Even a few weeks before my mother passed she wanted to sue you again and you called me for help. I advised her so strongly against it, which resulted in a fight between me and her. But as you know she chose to listen to me and not sue you. I believed then and now, lawsuits among family members have no place, but here we are.<\/p>\n

I must also share with you that I found being called about the will, less than 24 hours after my mother passed and getting emails from lawyers before my mother was even buried incredibly heartbreaking. It was very upsetting that I was forced to find a lawyer to represent me and my sisters and my mother\u2019s wishes within days of her passing. I assume that you are being advised to take these actions by your representatives, but you must know that this chosen path can only further estrange our family which is really sad.<\/p>\n

My hope is that you are being poorly advised and this is not actually coming from you. But what I don\u2019t understand is why there is a narrative that this massive falling out between you and my mother in 2016 didn\u2019t occur. My mother very loudly and clearly asserted to many people, including you, that she felt you had financially and personally betrayed her and as a result she was taking you off of the trust and replacing you with my brother and me. If you are trying to remove me from the estate under the guise that you don\u2019t remember the falling out about the promenade trust and her finances, it doesn\u2019t make any sense because you were still estranged from my mother at the time of her death, all as a result of this same falling out. I am now being forced to fight you in court to protect my mother and my mother\u2019s wishes for her estate which you know goes against my nature. <\/p>\n

Riley has revealed the moment she knew her mother had died<\/a>, even though she wasn\u2019t there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Priscilla Presley is being sued by former business partners right now and an exhibit in the lawsuit includes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-123952","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
