He asked me what I wanted him to do. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThey had restarted Lisa\u2019s heart, but there was no guarantee it would keep beating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nPriscilla allegedly then said she asked the medical team: \u201cWhat kind of life will she have if we keep her on that machine?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nShe is said to have written the doctor \u201clooked at me with compassion and shook his head\u201d as he said: \u201cNo quality of life at all\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe alleged account continued: \u201cI thought about my girl, my wild, rebellious, passionate girl, lying in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201c\u2018Take her off the machine, Doctor,\u2019 I said in a voice barely above a whisper.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt was unbearable. I began to sob. I don\u2019t remember falling. After that, everything went dark\u2026 I don\u2019t want to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBrigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko claim in their ongoing $50 million fraud and breach-of-contract lawsuit against Priscilla that she acted prematurely for financial reasons, in violation of Lisa Marie\u2019s advanced healthcare directive.<\/p>\n<p>\nPriscilla\u2019s lawyers Wayne Harman and Marty Singer previously dismissed the claims as \u201cshameful, ridiculous, salacious, and meritless\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn a new statement to Rolling Stone, they added: \u201cPriscilla did not have anything to do with the assassination of JFK, she did not cover up Area 51, she did not fake the moon landing, and she is not secretly keeping Bigfoot locked in a cabin in Canada. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cTake off the aluminum foil hat and face reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThey accused Brigitte of pursuing \u201ca relentless and calculated campaign of elder abuse and fraud in order to take control of Ms Presley\u2019s finances for her own benefit\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>\nPriscilla filed a countersuit in the case in 2024. <\/p>\n<p>\nHer rivals\u2019 attorney Jordan Matthews responded: \u201cTo date, Ms Presley has presented zero evidence in support of her salacious claims, and we intend to hold her accountable for her reckless behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLisa Marie, the only child of Elvis Presley, died on 12 January 2023 after suffering a cardiac arrest. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe was mother to four children and pre-deceased by her son Benjamin Keough, who took his life in 2020 aged 27.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/priscilla-presley-described-taking-daughter-life-support-unpublished-memoir-pages-1429117.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7 September 2025 Priscilla Presley is alleged to have described in unpublished memoir pages the moment she authorised doctors to remove her daughter Lisa Marie Presley from life support.
