In the immediate wake of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley’s sudden death in 2023, Riley Keough was thrown into a public battle with her grandmother, Priscilla, over her late mother’s estate.
And even Priscilla’s son, Navarone Garcia wanted a cut, according to a lawsuit filed against him by Priscilla’s former business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko.
“For years, Priscilla lived off of her daughter Lisa Marie, funneling money from her trust and using it to fund Navarone’s lifestyle and drug addiction,” they claim in an amended complaint filed on Tuesday, December 16 and obtained by the National Enquirer.
“Priscilla’s love for Navarone was, and always has been, incestuous,” they added in the complaint.
When Lisa Marie died, she left her entire estate to Riley, 36.

“Shockingly, after Priscilla … initiated an action against Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, over control over Lisa’s estate,” the filing alleges, Garcia, 38, “demanded that Plaintiffs negotiate a multi-million-dollar settlement on his behalf.”
Kruse and Fialko “advised him that there was no guarantee and that he may not be entitled to anything, particularly given his drug use, as Lisa Marie’s wishes were clear that no one using drugs would be entitled to any inheritance,” they claim in the complaint.
“Navarone became enraged, berating and otherwise verbally abusing Plaintiffs Kruse and Fialko on a daily basis, until Riley agreed to terms where Navarone could forego taking a drug test,” the filing reads.

Keough and her grandmother, 80, settled their dispute in 2023, with the Jay Kelly actress agreeing to pay Priscilla $1.4 million in settlement and legal fees, plus another $100,000 per year to serve as a special advisor to the estate. At the time, Kruse and Fialko claim, they also negotiated a “settlement payment of $2.7 million” for Garcia.
Kruse and Fialko have alleged in a separate lawsuit against Priscilla — who is in turn suing them for elder abuse and fraud — that they were fired shortly after making the deal for Priscilla and Navarone.
“After losing motion after motion in this case, and unsuccessfully seeking to have Presley’s counsel of record, Marty Singer, disqualified from representing her in this matter, Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family,” Priscilla’s attorneys, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, told TMZ of the latest lawsuit.

“In a completely improper effort to exert undue pressure on Presley to retract her legitimate, truthful claims, Kruse and her co-conspirators have also sued Presley’s son, cousin, and assistant,” they added. “These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case. The conduct of Kruse, Fialko, and their new lawyers (they are on their fourth set of attorneys) is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court.”
