Riley Keough and her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, have had a very stressful and sad few weeks as they fight over Lisa Marie Presley’s will. Reports say that things between the two have gotten worse and that they no longer talk to each other. Here’s what’s going on.
Riley and Priscilla Presley aren’t talking to each other.
On February 17, a source talked about the fight in the Presley family that is still going on. A source said that Priscilla and Riley’s relationship had gotten worse and that they were no longer talking to each other.
Riley Is Heartbroken
The source said that Riley was upset about a trust issue with a family member and was still sad about her mother’s death. The insider also said that Priscilla Presley was sure she was right and would win in court.
Priscilla Presley and Riley get ready to fight in court.
A source told the outlet that Priscilla Presley and Riley were “gearing up” for a bitter court battle, which makes it less likely that they will settle the dispute out of court.
Riley doesn’t like the fight.
But Riley felt terrible that the situation had gotten worse because she knew Lisa would not have wanted it to. The person said that Riley was upset because she had just buried her mother and brother and was trying to stay positive.
When Did It All Begin?
Priscilla Presley and Riley’s battle began shortly after Lisa died from cardiac arrest on January 12, 2023. It was found out that the singer’s estate would go to her three daughters after she died.
Riley And Benjamin Named Co-Trustees
Later, it was found out that Riley and her late brother Benjamin, who died in July 2020, had been named co-trustees of Lisa’s trust in 2016, and that Priscilla Presley had been taken completely out of the will. Priscilla, on the other hand, didn’t like what she heard.
The Amendment Is Challenged By Priscilla
The actress started to say that the amendment didn’t make sense and wasn’t true. Priscilla said that Lisa’s signature on the document from seven years ago didn’t look right.
Inside Priscilla’s Claims
Priscilla also said that she never got the amendment, that her name was misspelled, and that she didn’t trust the date on the document. So the actress filed the legal papers she needed to fight the change.
Joel Weinshanker Says What’s on His Mind
A managing partner at Elvis Presley Enterprise, Joel Weinshanker, has spoken out about the ongoing fight. During a conversation on SiriusXM’s Elvis Radio, Joel insisted that it was always Riley and Benjamin.
It Was Always Riley And Benjamin
He said that Lisa never doubted that the two of them would be “stewards” and see the situation the way she did. Joel then said that when Benjamin died, the ball was in Riley’s court, and she knew she would be in charge of the trust.
Riley Was Always Interested
Joel said that the star of Mad Max: Fury was already a movie star and a director who had won awards, but she was still interested and thought that one day she would be in charge.
Why Did Joel Speak Out?
Next, Joel talked about why he decided to say what he thought. He admitted that he was speaking up because he thought it was important to stand up for himself sometimes. He said that Elvis Presley left everything to little Lisa when he died.
Lisa made sure that her father’s name lived on.
Joel thinks that Elvis gave everything to his daughter because he knew that she would be the one to carry on his legacy. Joel said that Lisa did a great job of keeping her dad’s name alive long after Elvis died.
Lisa was not interested in anything else.
The late You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet singer cared about the trust no matter what other people, even family members, tried to do. In general, it’s sad that Priscilla and Riley are fighting so much.
Priscilla Talks About What’s Going On.
Priscilla told her granddaughter the truth about what was going on earlier this month. In a statement, the actress said that she and her late husband loved each other very much and that Lisa was a result of that love.
Details Of Her Statement
Priscilla said that if someone didn’t agree with her, it would be a disgrace to the family name and a huge insult to what Elvis did in his life.
Priscilla Speaks About An ‘Intruder’
Then, Priscilla said that someone had gotten into the family business and was trying to speak for the Presley family. Priscilla said that the person was not a member of Elvis’ or his family’s staff, but she didn’t say who they were.
Priscilla Asks For Time
She then asked for some time for the family to work together and figure out what was going on. After that, she begged everyone to ignore the noise.
Priscilla’s Final Words
In her final words, Priscilla said that she had always been there for Elvis’s legacy and that she would continue to pave the way forward with love, respect, honesty, dignity, and integrity. Fans still hope that Priscilla and Riley will find a way to get along.
