Riley Keough<\/strong> has slammed her grandmother, Priscilla Presley<\/strong>, for her \u201churtful\u201d behavior in the wake of Lisa Marie<\/strong>\u2019s death, according to legal documents obtained by Globe<\/em>.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, September 3, Priscilla\u2019s former business associates, Brigitte Kruse<\/strong> and Kevin Fialko<\/strong>, submitted a typed letter they claim Keough sent to Priscilla as part of an amended complaint in their $50 million lawsuit<\/a> against Elvis\u2019 former wife, 80.<\/p>\n The letter is an email sent to Priscilla on January 31, 2023, a source tells Globe<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately Nona as you are taking me to court I am being forced to defend my mother\u2019s wishes legally and publicly which would not have been my choice,\u201d reads the email, which Kruse and Fialko claim was written by Keough, 36, \u201cshortly after Lisa\u2019s death.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is really hurtful that after years of me trying to resolve your and my mother\u2019s broken relationship and restore our family, you are taking me, of all the people to court,\u201d the email continues, revealing that Elvis\u2019 first wife and daughter had been estranged since a \u201cfalling out\u201d in 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cEven a few weeks before my mother passed she wanted to sue you again and you called me for help,\u201d the email reads.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mother very loudly and clearly asserted to many people, including you, that she felt you had financially and personally betrayed her,\u201d the Daisy Jones & The Six<\/em> actress allegedly wrote.<\/p>\n Lisa Marie, the sole heir to Elvis\u2019 fortune, died on January 12, 2023 at age 54 after going into cardiac arrest<\/a>. Kruse and Fialko have accused Priscilla of \u201cpulling the plug<\/a>\u201d on her daughter before Keough could even get to the hospital.<\/p>\n Priscilla then launched a legal challenge, contesting the \u201cauthenticity and validity\u201d of a 2016 amendment Lisa Marie made to remove her and appointed Riley and her late brother, Ben<\/strong>, trustees instead.<\/p>\n \u201cI must also share with you that I found being called about the will, less than 24 hours after my mother passed and getting emails from lawyers before my mother was even buried incredibly heartbreaking,\u201d Keough\u2019s alleged email reads.<\/p>\n \u201cYou must know that this chosen path can only further estrange our family which is really sad.\u201d<\/p>\n Keough and her grandmother eventually reached a settlement<\/a>, with Priscilla getting a $1 million lump sum, as well as $100,000 a year to be a special advisor to Keough. (According to a separate complaint Kruse and Fialko filed against Priscilla\u2019s son, Navarone Garcia<\/strong>, Garcia also got a \u201cseven-figure<\/a>\u201d piece of the trust, despite not being related to Elvis.)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.globemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-05-at-9.33.52-AM-1.png\")
