Lisa Marie Presley's Mother Accused of Withholding Medical Care in Explosive New Lawsuit
Lisa Marie Presley's Mother Accused of Withholding Medical Care in Explosive New Lawsuit
A shocking new lawsuit has ignited a fierce legal battle between Priscilla Presley and two of her former business partners, adding a deeply concerning layer to the already complex aftermath of Lisa Marie Presley's tragic death. The complaint, filed Monday in Los Angeles, alleges that Priscilla Presley may have withdrawn crucial medical care from her daughter, potentially contributing to her untimely passing.
The lawsuit, filed by Lisa Marie's former business managers, Joel and John Justin, accuses Priscilla of attempting to seize control of Lisa Marie's estate and assets. Beyond the financial disputes, the most alarming claims center around Lisa Marie's health in the months leading up to her death on January 12, 2023. The Justin brothers allege that Priscilla actively interfered with Lisa Marie’s medical treatment and sought to limit access to her medical professionals.
According to the lawsuit, Lisa Marie had previously executed a trust that granted the Justin brothers significant authority over her finances and medical decisions. However, following Lisa Marie’s death, Priscilla reportedly filed legal documents attempting to contest this trust and gain complete control of the estate. The Justin brothers claim that Priscilla’s actions were part of a calculated effort to manipulate the situation to her advantage.
The specific details of the alleged medical neglect remain unclear, but the lawsuit suggests that Lisa Marie’s health was declining and that Priscilla’s actions prevented her from receiving adequate care. This includes accusations of limiting communication with doctors and hindering access to necessary treatments. The Justin brothers are seeking a court order to compel Priscilla to disclose all relevant medical records and information related to Lisa Marie’s care.
This new development adds another layer of complexity to the already fraught legal proceedings surrounding Lisa Marie Presley’s estate. Lisa Marie’s son, Riley Keough, initially contested Priscilla’s attempts to overturn the trust, and a settlement was eventually reached. However, this latest lawsuit raises serious questions about the circumstances surrounding Lisa Marie’s death and the actions of those closest to her.
The lawsuit also highlights the importance of having clear and legally sound estate planning documents, especially when dealing with complex family dynamics and potential disputes. The legal battle is expected to be lengthy and contentious, with significant implications for the Presley family and the future of Lisa Marie’s legacy.
Priscilla Presley’s legal team has yet to respond to the allegations. The court will now need to determine the validity of the claims and whether Priscilla Presley’s actions played a role in Lisa Marie’s death. The case is sure to attract significant media attention and public scrutiny as more details emerge.
