During this period, the singer faced accusations of abuse and assault against children (he always denied the accusations and was never convicted).

Participation in the podcast Call her dad, Riley Keough she remembered when she was a child and her mother was with her Michael Jackson. At one point in the conversation, she was asked if any adults were concerned about her spending time with the singer.

“I was never told anything. And really, it’s not something I ever asked as an adult. It just was what it was. I don’t know, it never occurred to me,” he said. “I guess my dad was really heartbroken when he read the news. And I guess he told my mom a lot of things that we didn’t know.”

Then, she talked about the way her parents raised her and her brother Benjamin: “The way my parents grew up was very, ‘We don’t fight around kids, we never say anything in front of them.’ We didn’t know anything. We didn’t know about the accusations. Then, she was asked how she feels about this moment.

The only thing I know is that they were in love and that their love for each other was genuine, because I was there and I remember. I don’t know everything else because I wasn’t there.

Furthermore, Riley Keough revealed how his life changed when Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson. “Our life wasn’t crazy anymore because it already existed. It already existed, like the press and the crazy people, the paparazzi, but… I think that when he saw the life of the Michaelthere were things he had that she didn’t have,” she said.

“She didn’t have a plane at the time or anything like that, so she said, ‘Oh, I should have a plane and I should have this and that,’ and so our life in that way got bigger because before she was with my father and their life was very simple,” he continued. “Not with the press and the craziness, but in terms of home. He didn’t have 10 million assistants and he didn’t need all this, and I think that’s changed.”
