Priscilla Presley has shared insights into her daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s short-lived marriage to Michael Jackson, alleging that the pop icon was manipulative and opportunistic.

In her latest memoir titled Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, Priscilla, aged 80, reveals her shock and disapproval of Lisa Marie’s decision to marry Michael Jackson. She expressed her concerns about their relationship, especially regarding its physical aspects, following rumors suggesting otherwise.

According to Priscilla, Lisa Marie confirmed having a sexual relationship with Michael, who was a decade younger than her. Priscilla expressed skepticism about Michael’s intentions towards her daughter, questioning his motives for being involved with the Presley family.

In an excerpt from the memoir published by The Sun, Priscilla criticized Michael’s alleged ulterior motives, suggesting that he wed Lisa Marie to enhance his public image amidst child molestation accusations. She also depicted Michael as a calculating individual who sought to exploit their family’s legacy.

Priscilla disclosed that Lisa Marie defended Michael’s innocence during his legal troubles, indicating that Michael had pursued her even amidst controversy. She portrayed Michael as a master manipulator, asserting that he targeted Lisa Marie long before she realized his intentions.

Furthermore, Priscilla described her own relationship with Michael as peculiar and recounted Lisa Marie’s revelation that Michael desired to have a child with her. However, Lisa Marie eventually filed for divorce after two years, leading Priscilla to express relief, likening it to a sigh of relief from her late ex-husband, Elvis Presley.

In Lisa Marie’s posthumously released memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, she recounted Michael’s claims of being a virgin at the start of their relationship. Lisa Marie detailed her apprehensions and surprise at the physical progression of their romance, emphasizing Michael’s assertiveness in their interactions.
