Former business partner of Priscilla Presley refutes allegations of financial elder abuse

In a legal battle that has captured public attention, Priscilla Presley, 79, has sued four of her former business associates, including Brigitte Kruse, accusing them of stealing over $1 million from her and committing financial elder abuse. Kruse denied these claims, calling the lawsuit retaliatory and stating that they provided aid to Presley when she needed help. Presley’s lawsuit included 12 different complaints alleging that the defendants planned to steal all her money by gaining her trust and isolating her from her advisers. She also claimed they pocketed $300,000 from a beauty company deal and took $40,000 from her son’s account without authorization. Presley, represented by attorney Marty Singer, called Kruse a “con artist and pathological liar.” Kruse and Fialko, on the other hand, filed a joint lawsuit for breach of contract, claiming they prevented Presley from financial ruin while they were business partners. The two legal battles reflect a series of intricate financial and personal conflicts that have embroiled Presley in recent years, including a dispute with her granddaughter over her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s estate. As the legal proceedings progress, the truth behind these allegations will be revealed through evidence and the judicial system.
