Priscilla Presley feared Elvis Presley would have shot her lawyer lover Rob Kardashian dead if he had known he was in her bed.
The 80-year-old has used her forthcoming memoir Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, to tell never-before-heard stories about her life as the singing icon’s wife, including her worries for Rob’s safety due to Elvis’ obsession with firearms.
In an extract from the book obtained by Page Six, she says: “(Elvis would) have gone ballistic, maybe literally, if he’d known Robert was in my bedroom.
“Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.”
Priscilla began dating Robert in 1975, two years after her divorce from Elvis.
Before meeting the lawyer, she also had a relationship with karate instructor Mike Stone.
Robert later married Kris Jenner in 1978, with whom he had four children, before their divorce in 1991.
He died of cancer in 2003, aged 59.
In her book, Priscilla writes: “Robert was a sweet man, and I liked him.”
She adds his career as a prominent Hollywood attorney made a relationship difficult.
Priscilla added: “His demanding job had him working long hours.”
Author Jerry Oppenheimer previously detailed the pair’s relationship in his 2017 book The Kardashians: An American Drama.
According to Priscilla’s friend Joni Migdal, Robert had hoped for marriage and children.
Joni said: “Priscilla made Robert very happy. He wanted to marry her and have children with her. That was definitely his hope, his plan.”
The memoir also refers to Elvis’ continued presence in Priscilla’s life.
Friends recalled Robert telling them Elvis would call during the night, sometimes speaking incoherently.
Priscilla allegedly placed the receiver between herself and Robert in bed so he could listen to the conversations.
Robert reportedly confided Elvis did not want Priscilla dating because of their daughter Lisa Marie Presley, born 1 February 1968.
Elvis died in 1977 aged 42, while Lisa Marie died in January 2023 from cardiac arrest at the age of 54.
In her memoir, Priscilla writes she remained close to Robert until his death.
She says: “Robert and I had one last conversation before he died. He was the kindest of men, and I remember him with great affection.”
Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis will be published on 23 September.
