Priscilla Presley is pulling back the curtain about an affair with Robert Kardashian.
While the ex-wife of Elvis Presley has said she knew of his infidelities, she was evidently not free of sin either. Despite this, the pair stayed together for a while before officially divorcing in 1973.
Over 40 years after the King of Rock and Roll’s death, Priscilla is finally coming clean about her and Robert’s time together.
Priscilla Presley allegedly feared losing her famous last name
Fame and fortune can be addictive, and when you have it, you want to keep it for as long as possible. That seems to be the case with Priscilla.
She stayed silent about her affair with the late attorney out of fear. She was afraid of losing her famous last name along with the self-proclaimed title of the “Queen of Graceland,” a source told RadarOnline.
In her memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, she reveals a time when her then-ex-husband called her at 2 am while she was in bed with Robert. “He never knew Elvis had called. And Elvis never knew about Robert,” writes Priscilla. She did say that she had several encounters with Elvis while her affair with Robert was going on.
According to a source, the King would often come by unannounced to see their daughter, forcing her to hide Robert. Reportedly, Elvis would still buy Priscilla anything she wanted, even after the divorce, and she feared that might end if he knew about Robert.
Priscilla and Robert’s relationship appeared serious, with an insider claiming she considered “marrying Robert.” In the end, though, she loved the Presley name, Graceland and their Nashville mansion more than Robert.
Her new novel reveals plenty of explosive secrets, including how she didn’t trust Michael Jackson. Priscilla’s daughter, the late Lisa Marie and the late Michael were married from 1994 until 1996.
Meanwhile, Priscilla is facing a $50 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by two former business associates. She’s accused of quickly taking Lisa Marie off life support to cash in on the estate of Elvis’s only heir.
Softly, As I Leave You is now available in stores.
