Priscilla Presley, the former wife of music legend Elvis Presley, is currently embroiled in a legal battle over financial matters. The lawsuit, filed by a woman named Brigitte Kruse, alleges that she and Priscilla formed a company in 2022 to assist Priscilla with her financial challenges. According to legal documents, Priscilla was facing significant financial difficulties, including unpaid tax debt amounting to nearly $700,000, and was on the verge of insolvency.

Partnership Turned Sour

Brigitte Kruse claims that the purpose of their partnership was to manage Priscilla’s business and personal affairs in an effort to prevent her from facing financial ruin and public embarrassment. The lawsuit further asserts that Kruse invested substantial time and money into developing projects related to the recent “Priscilla” movie by Sofia Coppola, only to be allegedly cut off by Priscilla in August 2023, leaving her without any share of potential earnings.

Legal Dispute

The lawsuit, which includes allegations of breach of contract, seeks unspecified damages from Priscilla. In response, Priscilla has filed a motion to dismiss the suit, claiming that she attempted to terminate the partnership upon discovering alleged misconduct by Kruse and her associate. Her attorney, Marty Singer, has vehemently denied the claims made in the lawsuit, asserting that they are baseless and without merit. Singer also stated that Priscilla had previously raised significant allegations against the company and its principals for misappropriating funds.

The case is ongoing, and its outcome remains pending at this time.
