Priscilla Presley revealed that the Elvis She suggested that she be abortion when she became pregnant with their daughter, Lisa Marie, in a new revealing book. This is just one of the many shocking revelations made by the 80 -year -old today’s new book, ‘Softly, as I Leave You’according to “Page Six”.

Indeed, she claims that she had difficulty controlling her unruly daughter, who was overwhelmed after her father’s death in August 1977. Priscilla Presley then brought her into contact with Scientology, but later admitted that she was “naive”. Elsewhere in her book, Priscilla describes how Lisa has fought for years with financial problems and addictions, characteristically stating that she reached the point of taking 80 pills a day before she died at the age of 54 in January 2023.

“My daughter was an enigma, complex and provocative,” Priscilla writes. “Lisa was a free spirit, a decisive and anxious soul. It was an ‘identity’ that fascinated her and haunted her for the rest of her life. “he says meaningfully.

Elvis and Priscilla met when she was only 14 years old and he was 24 years old and served in the US army in Germany. They got married in 1967 and very soon Priscilla became pregnant. “Our marriage meant that I could finally be revealed. I was so excited, but when I became pregnant on the night of my marriage, these dreams were lost. Neither Elvis nor I were ready for a child. ”

And the revelations continue … “For weeks, Elvis and I were silently worried about what would follow. In my most difficult time, I even wondered how I would feel if I had an accident and lost our child. I felt so guilty that I even had these thoughts. Then Elvis looked at me one day and asked me if I wanted to have an abortion. He told me he would support what I wanted. His words were an awakening.

The seriousness of the situation shocked me and I began to cry. I said to him, ” No! We can’t do that. Is our baby! ”. When Lisa Marie was born in February 1968, the couple immediately loved her.

Priscilla left Elvis when Lisa Marie was four years old, after a relationship with Karate Master Mike Stone, but insisted that this was not the reason he left him. When Elvis learned about Stone, Priscilla said he “forced her”, “As he imagined that a karate teacher would do it … He left me an unpleasant memory of my last sexual experience with Elvis.”

Elvis, who was often cheating on Priscilla, was so upset that he even asked his closest friend, Joe Espositos, to find a killer to kill Stone, but persuaded him to calm down. “No matter how difficult it was, I never regretted my decision to leave Elvis. But I never stopped mourning for this… flight »said Priscilla.

“Raising our daughter was a challenge for both of us”, admitted. “They were strong -wide from the beginning. Like her father, it was just like that. Lisa had her opinion and the fact that she was Elvis’s daughter reinforced it even more. “

After a trip, Lisa revealed that her then -partner Priscilla, actress Michael Edwards, entered her room and lifted her covers to look at her. Although she did not touch her, her mother kicked him out of the house. A few years later, he published a book where he admitted a “sexual obsession” with young Lisa.

Priscilla was shocked when, decades later, she read in the memoirs of her daughter’s own daughter that Edwards had abused her. He denied it, saying that an innocent story was “strengthened” to sell books. “I tried to find peace with Lisa’s words, but because I only read them after her death, we could never talk about them. I know I will never find real closure »writes Priscilla.

When Lisa took her father’s inheritance at 25, she was already married to musician Danny Kio and had two children, Riley and Benjamin. Their marriage, however, did not last long, and Priscilla was shocked when she married Michael Jackson in 1994, shortly after the charges of pedophilia.

‘I never thought she loved her’says Priscilla, revealing that he had only met him once. Lisa split Jackson in 1996. “I could almost hear Elvis relieved”writes Priscilla. Until 2005, Lisa was “bankrupt” and was forced to sell 85% of her heritage. Her third happiness, with guitarist Michael Lokwood and the birth of their twins in 2008, was overshadowed by her addiction to painkillers after childbirth. “Lisa had inherited Elvis’s vulnerability in opioids”notes her mother.

By 2014, the use had gone out of control: it combined cocaine, alcohol and pills. Addiction contributed to the dismantling of her marriage and to court battles with Lokwood for custody. However, the worst moment came in 2020, with her son’s suicide, Benjamin. ‘It was the beginning of the end for Lisa’admits Priscilla. A few days before her death, she appeared in the Golden Globes for the movie “Elvis”. On January 12, 2023 she collapsed at her home.
