Priscilla denies claim she “pushed Elvis to his death”

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty examines the $50m lawsuit which calls Priscilla Presley “a pit viper willing to prey on her own family”. The case, brought by Priscilla’s former business partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko against the 80-year-old star, includes accusations of fraud in the inducement, breach of contract, misappropriation of name and likeness, and intentional interference with contracts and business opportunities. They allege Priscilla placed financial pressure on Elvis in his final months — pushing him to his death. She has rejected the accusations as “untrue and deeply hurtful.” The dispute follows an earlier lawsuit in which Priscilla accused Kruse and Fialko of financial elder abuse, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty – all of which they deny. Anoushka sits down with trial attorney Shaun Kent to discuss the legal battle and why headline-grabbing allegations are becoming increasingly common in litigation. Got questions?
