Priscilla Presley Hit With $50 Million Lawsuit: Fraud And Family Drama In Socal Spotlight on ONDA LA

Hollywood Scandal Alert: Priscilla Presley Sued for Millions

Yo, LA fam, buckle up for some serious Tinseltown tea! Priscilla Presley, the queen of the Elvis legacy, is caught in a legal storm that’s got more twists than a Mulholland Drive thriller. Her former business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko of Priscilla Presley Partners, have slapped her with a lawsuit claiming fraud and breach of contract, seeking a cool $50 million in damages.

According to the filings, Priscilla allegedly played fast and loose with the truth, claiming ownership of her name and brand when she’d reportedly sold those rights way back in the day. While securing investments, she kept this under wraps, leaving Kruse and Fialko holding the bag with major losses that tanked their business. Talk about a Hollywood hustle gone wrong!

Graceland Power Play: Family Trust Feud Heats Up

The lawsuit doesn’t just stop at business betrayal - it dives deep into some heavy family drama. Following the heartbreaking passing of Lisa Marie Presley in 2023, Kruse and Fialko allege that Priscilla made some shady moves to keep control over the family trust, including Graceland and the Promenade Trust. They claim she withdrew life-saving treatment from Lisa Marie prematurely to secure her spot at the top.

The complaint gets even wilder, stating that Priscilla straight-up declared, “I’m the queen. I’m in charge of Graceland,” shortly after her daughter’s death. If that’s not Malibu-style drama, what is? This power struggle has left jaws on the floor from the Valley to Venice Beach.

Betrayal and Broken Deals: The Money Mess

Things got messier when Kruse and Fialko brokered a $2.4 million settlement to cool tensions with Priscilla. But enter Keya Morgan - yeah, the same guy tied to elder abuse allegations with Stan Lee - who allegedly promised to help Priscilla reclaim her name and likeness from Elvis Presley Enterprises. Instead, the situation imploded with accusations of coercion and elder abuse thrown at Kruse and Fialko, claims they’re fiercely denying.

“We’ve got the receipts - video recordings and communications proving there’s no coercion or abuse here, just a legit partnership that got burned,” said Jordan Matthews, attorney for Kruse and Fialko.

Matthews added that his clients poured millions and years into rebuilding Priscilla’s brand, only to feel stabbed in the back. It’s a classic Hollywood heartbreak story, and the fallout is uglier than a rush-hour jam on the 405.

Red Carpet Snubs and Stolen Cash: The Final Blow

The lawsuit also calls out Priscilla for allegedly cashing in on her name and likeness without cutting her partners in on the profits. We’re talking big appearances like NBC’s 'Christmas at Graceland' and other SoCal promo gigs. On top of that, she’s accused of dipping into the firm’s accounts for herself - straight-up theft, per the complaint.

To add insult to injury, Kruse and Fialko got the ultimate Hollywood diss when they were uninvited from the Venice Film Festival premiere of Sofia Coppola’s 'Priscilla,' despite securing extra compensation for Presley through A24 Pictures. Ouch - that’s colder than a Santa Monica Pier breeze in January. Stick with us as this scandal unfolds faster than a Sunset Strip chase scene!
