Priscilla Presley criticized the marriage of his daughter, Lisa Marie Presleywho died in 2023, with Michael Jackson. In your book, Plan, while I leave you, life after ElvisHe said that their union took place so that the singer could clean his image.

The two married from May 1994 to January 1996.

“I was shocked by the wedding. I knew, after all, that Michael would not marry Lisa Marie; he would marry the Presley dynasty. The king of pop was combining the king of rock and roll,” he wrote.

For her, the singer used her daughter to improve her image: “she married her when she desperately needed to be represented as a desirable heterosexual man”.

At the time, he had to face accusations of sexual abuse on minors. The two met when Lisa Marie was still a child, but Michael Jackson resumed contact with Elvis’ daughter after the accusations emerged.

“I think this is that he hooked her at the beginning. She was sorry for him and, of course, believed in his innocence. Nobody wants to believe that that type of accusation against someone he knows. They started talking often on the phone, and he was gradually involved. Michael was a manipulative man and I think he was already looking for a long time before he had realized”, he continued.

When Priscilla expressed her concerns, her daughter did not listen to her. Shortly after, however, he discovered that Jackson’s public person was different from those who were in private life. According to Elvis’ ex -wife, Lisa Marie was annoyed, but did not see as a “warning sign”.

He also told her daughter told her that Jackson threatened to have children with Debbie Rowe, with whom he later married and had two children if he didn’t agree.

Lisa Marie agreed that it would be better to wait. “It was a very strange relationship. Lisa was very unhappy. Michael was never around. He knew that sometimes when he was out, he was on the ranch with the children. The annoying that he would have preferred to be with them rather than with her. I think the accusations corrov her over time.”

He said their marriage was over because their daughter “was already abundant”.
