Legendary actress Priscilla Presley is making headlines once again, but this time it’s for taking legal action against four former business associates for financial elder abuse and fraud. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, alleges that these individuals conned Presley out of more than $1 million, leaving her feeling like she was in a form of “indentured servitude.”
One of the main defendants, Brigitte Kruse, is described as a “con-artist and pathological liar” who allegedly manipulated Presley into signing contracts that gave the defendants a whopping 80 percent of her future income. The lawsuit, filed by Presley’s lawyer Martin Singer, paints a disturbing picture of how these individuals gained Presley’s trust, isolated her from loved ones, and drained her of her hard-earned money.
In response to the lawsuit, Kruse and her legal team claim they have not been served with a copy of the filing, raising questions about the validity of the allegations. However, this isn’t the first time Kruse and Presley have crossed paths in court; Kruse previously sued Presley for breach of contract in Florida.
Presley, known for her iconic marriage to Elvis Presley and her successful acting career, is seeking justice and financial restitution in this new legal battle. She is asking for at least $1 million in general damages, as well as punitive damages and attorney’s fees. The lawsuit also aims to rescind the allegedly fraudulent agreements and allow Presley to regain control of her financial accounts.
With her legal team on her side, Presley is determined to hold those responsible for her alleged financial exploitation accountable. The court case promises to shed light on a troubling situation that has undoubtedly taken a toll on Presley’s personal and professional relationships. Stay tuned as this legal drama unfolds.
