More than two years after Lisa Marie Presley died in January 2023, a shocking new lawsuit accuses her mother, Priscilla Presley, of hastening the 54-year-old’s death in attempt to claw back control of the Elvis Presley’s family trust.

According to papers filed in an L.A. court, two former business advisors allege that the 80-year-old “pulled the plug” on her daughter after she was rushed to the hospital following a cardiac arrest, contending that Priscilla “knew that Lisa was in the process of taking steps to remove her as the sole trustee of Lisa’s irrevocable life insurance trust [and] saw an opportunity to regain control.”

The stunning claim is part of a $50 million fraud suit against Elvis’ widow by the former advisors, who allege they invested “millions of dollars into Priscilla” only to have her cut them off. She previously sued the two for elder abuse, per The New York Times.

While Priscilla’s attorney Marty Singer called the suit “shameful, ridiculous, salacious and meritless,” an insider tells Star Priscilla has been deeply rattled by it.

“Her lawyer called it an attempt to ruin her life, and that’s exactly how it feels,” says the insider. “Being accused of pulling the plug on her own daughter is beyond cruel. She adored Lisa Marie, it’s heartbreaking that people are saying she’d do something like that.”

The suit is just the latest legal battle for Priscilla. In 2023, she faced off with Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, 36, in a dispute over documents regarding control over the trust. Ultimately, the two settled with Priscilla receiving a reported $2.4 million.
