Actress and businesswoman Priscilla Presley is in a legal dispute claiming financial abuse, where former partner Brigitte Kruse is accused of embezzling $1 million. According to reports, Marty Singer, Presley’s lawyer, alleges that Kruse misappropriated funds while handling the sale of Elvis Presley memorabilia.
The professional relationship between Presley and Kruse evolved into a closer bond over time, leading to Kruse gaining access to Presley’s financial affairs by the end of 2021.
Attorneys representing Brigitte Kruse declined to comment on the allegations of financial abuse, citing a lack of access to the lawsuit documentation.
Presley’s lawsuit contends that Kruse assumed control of the finances of the widow of the music icon and, once establishing trust, isolated Presley from important individuals in her life.
Mismanagement Allegations
Despite the lack of official comments, sources suggest mismanagement of both funds and valuable assets by Kruse.
In response to the alleged financial abuse by her former partners, Priscilla Presley aims to revoke licenses granted to the involved entities, restrict access to her accounts, and hold them accountable for their conduct.
The legal documents revealed that Presley was misled into believing her previous advisors were untrustworthy or incompetent, resulting in potential financial losses.
Resolution of this contentious situation remains uncertain, indicating a protracted legal process.
