Priscilla Presley spills on daughter Lisa Marie and Michael Jackson’s sex life: ‘I was appalled by the marriage’

Lisa Marie Presley dishes on daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s infamous marriage to Michael Jackson in her upcoming memoir.

“I asked her if they had a physical relationship,” Priscilla, 80, writes in “Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis,” according to an excerpt published by the Sun on Saturday. “Like so many people, I wasn’t sure.”

Priscilla adds, “She said yeah.”

Elvis Presley’s ex-wife divulges that she was unimpressed when her daughter tied the knot with the King of Pop in 1994 — a union that only lasted until 1996. “I was appalled by the marriage,” she writes, per the outlet.

“I knew in my bones that Michael wasn’t marrying Lisa Marie; he was marrying the Presley dynasty.”

Priscilla also claims that the 80s icon sought “good publicity” following claims of child molestation at the time, which he strongly denied. Priscilla claims her daughter — whom Jackson reached out to during the scandal — believed in his innocence.

“Michael was a manipulative man, and I think he had his sights set on her long before she realized it,” she writes, according to the Sun. “The childlike innocence he projected was part of his public mask.”

Priscilla also claims the “Beat It” hitmaker avoided meeting her, and called the relationship “bizarre.” At family events, she claims he opted to mingle with children rather than spend time with the adults.

While Priscilla claims Lisa Marie said Michael wanted to have a child, she pleaded with her daughter to put off starting a family. When Lisa Marie filed for divorce in 1996, Priscilla writes that she “could practically hear Elvis sigh with relief.”

A rep for Priscilla did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the excerpt.

In October 2024, an excerpt from Lisa Marie’s own memoir “From Here to the Great Unknown” — written from tapes compiled by her daughter Riley Keough — claimed the pop legend said he was a virgin when they began dating.

“He told me he was still a virgin,” Lisa Marie wrote. “I think he had kissed Tatum O’Neal, and he’d had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn’t been physical apart from a kiss. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened.”

She wrote, “I was terrified, because I didn’t want to make the wrong move. When he decided to first kiss me, he just did it. He was instigating everything. The physical stuff started happening, which I was shocked at. I had thought that maybe we wouldn’t do anything until we got married, but he said, ‘I’m not waiting!’”

Following their divorce, the Grammy winner would ultimately go on to welcome son Prince, 28, and daughter Paris, 27, with second wife Debbie Rowe, as well as son Bigi, 23, with a surrogate. He died in 2009 at age 50 following a propofol overdose.

Lisa Marie, meanwhile, welcomed daughter Riley, 36, and son Benjamin — who died from suicide at age 27 in 2020 — with ex-husband Danny Keough. She divorced Danny in 1994 before her marriage to Jackson.

After a two-year marriage to Nicholas Cage, she married Michael Lockwood in 2006, with whom she shared twin daughters, Harper and Finley, 16. They finalized their divorce in 2021, just two years ahead of her 2023 death at age 54 after cardiac arrest.

Priscilla also reportedly shares new details of her daughter’s death and intimate memories of her romance with Robert Kardashian in her upcoming memoir, which hits shelves Sept. 23.
