    At the end of the day its the fans that suffer too. Yeah we have all the Elvis movies on DVDs. Also the 68 comeback special and Aloha from Hawaii, but you should see the amount of dedication that goes into fan made DVDs. I mean full length concerts from 8mm fan film. The estate doesn't really know what fans want. We want concerts, rare footage not just calendars and funko pops

    @brendaseager7371 Рік тому +29

    You try to make Priscilla sounded like a saint that we all know is far from the truth! Priscilla did not do anything out of her own pocket, she sold off Graceland assets. Once she did this, other assets that Priscilla supposedly took or sold, according to other sources, Priscilla made herself a rich woman by claiming the name Presley upon Elvis’s death and giving herself a wage of $900,000 a year plus making money on his legacy that she really was no longer entitled to be in other than the fact, Lisa Marie allowed her mother in the Presley fold.
    Lisa Marie knew nothing about her mother giving herself that wage, and that is when the fuel began, from there everything else that Priscilla ever did to make her daughter look incompetent, Priscilla benefitted from it, making it look like everything would be lost if weren’t for her, however in my opinion, Priscilla continuously stabbed Lisa Marie in the back to put a halo on her own head!
    From what I can recall, it was in 2016 Lisa Marie decided to amend her trust to leave it to her children to care for, and according to Seigler, Priscilla was well aware of that amendment so until I am proven wrong I will continue to believe that for Riley to give in to all of Priscilla’s demands, Priscilla must have threatened them somehow, possibly with blackmail, as she claimed she did with Elvis, to force him to marry her. I cannot believe that Riley and her lawyers were so stupid, they could not find proof on Priscilla that she was lying is totally beyond me, it is either that or serious threats being made, but something is way off?
    I only hope with all this, Priscilla is truly out of the circle again because she is the devils advocate in my opinion and will do nothing but continue to take, just to prove her power, not caring about how she has damaged her family trust. As for Elvis, I believe if she ever tried to repent all her sins to get to heaven, just to see him, he would be waiting at the gates to push her off, regardless of his fate, because of all the pain she had ever caused for Lisa Marie and her children, prior to his death. These are things that evil narcissist should be thinking about, if she does ever get to see Elvis in the next life (which I highly doubt under the circumstances).

Undoubtedly the loss of her beloved son and all the estate house cleaning she had to do took a stress toll. Media did not give the cause of death much coverage because they all implied that she died from drugs. ELVIS vindicated his little girls reputation. May she rest in peace.
