Priscilla Presley sues former business partner for fraud and embezzlement

For her downfall, the actress and widow of Elvis Presley blames her former business partner, Brigitte Kruse. She accuses her of fraud and embezzlement and of isolating her from family and friends. There's a lawsuit.

According to People magazine, Priscilla Presley's lawyer filed a lawsuit accusing Brigitte Kruse and her associates of deceiving and exploiting the actress and robbing her of a million dollars.

This "legal dance" is just beginning, as Kruse's attorney said he could not respond to the lawsuit because he did not receive a copy. So, what is this all about?

According to Ms Presley, she was deceived by the auction house owned by Kruse, with whom she became involved when she put up some of the King's memorabilia for sale.

The people mentioned in the court document allegedly gained the widow’s trust and manipulated her into servitude. This concerns a property law established in favor of a specific person. In this case, it likely pertains to the loss of items Presley transferred to the auction house, unaware she would lose them.

The widow's lawyers also accuse Kruse of isolating Priscilla from her family and promising to take care of her, including financially.

Priscilla Presley, 79, met Brigitte Kruse, the auction house owner, two years ago. Kruse quickly ingratiated herself with Elvis's widow, became her friend, and made the actress fully trust her, including regarding her husband’s memorabilia.

Priscilla Presley met Elvis when she was 14 years old. Even though Hollywood beckoned, he never allowed her to pursue a career. She could only consider dancing and performing as a hobby. Her first roles came only after her divorce from the musician. The viewers certainly remember her performances in the "Naked Gun" series, where she partnered with Leslie Nielsen. A film with the working title "Naked Gun" featuring her is in production, with a release planned for 2025.
