Priscilla Presley Addresses Controversial Claim About Riley Keough and John Travolta’s Son
Trending on Billboard
Priscilla Presley is facing new allegations as part of her ongoing legal dispute with former business advisors Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko. The plaintiffs have claimed that Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley and his ex-wife, is the biological mother of John Travolta’s son.
Court documents obtained on Thursday, December 18, revealed that the plaintiffs, who had initially sued Priscilla in February 2024 over allegations of unfair business conduct, assert that Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, used eggs donated by Keough to conceive their 15-year-old son. In return, the lawsuit claims Keough received an old Jaguar and up to $20,000.
According to the lawsuit, prior to this arrangement, Travolta and Preston had reportedly been using eggs provided by Lisa Marie Presley, the late daughter of Elvis and Priscilla, in their efforts to conceive. The lawsuit states that Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie’s former husband, provided this information to Kruse and Fialko.
Representatives for Presley, Keough, and Travolta, along with Lockwood, have been contacted for comment.
In a statement shared with TMZ, which was the first to report the news, Priscilla’s lawyers, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, emphasized, “These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case. The conduct is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court.”
The attorneys for Kruse and Fialko responded, stating, “Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko are heartbroken that they have been forced to file their most recent amended complaint. They have been accused of horrific acts that are not supported by any evidence whatsoever.”
It is important to note that statements made in legal filings are considered allegations from one side. Kruse and Fialko have progressively introduced a series of astonishing claims since last year. At times, they have alleged that Priscilla removed her daughter from life support against Lisa Marie’s wishes prior to her passing in 2023 and accused Priscilla of extorting “millions of dollars from Elvis” and contributing to his death in 1977—claims that she has consistently denied.
The original lawsuit by Kruse and Fialko included accusations that Priscilla unjustly severed ties with them after they assisted her during a financial crisis. In July 2024, Priscilla countersued for elder abuse, alleging that Kruse and Fialko orchestrated a “meticulously planned” scheme to deplete her assets.
