Priscilla Presley Wins Round in Elder Abuse Lawsuit Against Ex-Associates

Priscilla Presley can proceed with her elder abuse lawsuit against her former associates using the California court system, a judge ruled.

A Los Angeles County judge has sided with Priscilla Presley and ruled California is the best venue to hear her elder abuse lawsuit against the group of ex-associates she claims duped her out of more than $1 million. In her dueling breach of contract lawsuit, Kruse alleges that Presley illegally walked out on their various business agreements when her financial circumstances changed in the wake of her daughter Lisa Marie’s death. As Rolling Stone previously reported, Presley challenged a 2016 amendment to her daughter’s Promenade Trust that removed her as a co-trustee but then quickly reached a generous settlement with granddaughter Riley Keough that granted her a $1 million lump-sum payment, $100,000 annual salary, and burial rights near Elvis at Graceland.
