Priscilla Presley asks for more time to answer explosive new version of Florida lawsuit
Apparently we’re not the only ones who were bowled over by the new version of the lawsuit that was filed against Priscilla Presley in Orlando.
After seeing the many new allegations in the new amended complaint — including the stunning claim that Priscilla and Elvis Presley have a previously unidentified grandchild living today in Florida — Priscilla has asked the court for more time to respond.
Three weeks ago, we broke the news that Priscilla had not objected when Brigitte Kruse filed a motion asking for permission to amend her lawsuit. Kruse is suing because, she says, she had helped Priscilla turn around her fortunes by creating several new businesses, but then Priscilla had iced Kruse out once she started doing well again.
Priscilla responded by denying that she should be held to account in a state, Florida, that she had no ties to. So Kruse filed the new version of the complaint with the stunning allegation about a grandchild in order to prove that Priscilla does have a very important tie to Florida.
On October 21, Judge John E. Jordan granted Kruse’s motion and the new version of her lawsuit became official. It gave Priscilla 20 days to respond, which gave her a deadline of November 12.
Now, Priscilla’s attorneys are saying the new complaint has so much new material, they need another week to deal with all of it.
The Second Amended Complaint includes twelve causes of action, seven of which are new, added an additional plaintiff, and contains a series of new allegations. Indeed, the Second Amended Complaint now stands at almost 50 pages with over 180 separate allegations.
Due to the press of other matters and to confer with Ms. Presley regarding the matters raised for the first time in the Second Amended Complaint, Defendant is now seeking an additional seven days through and including November 19, 2024 to respond.
We can’t help reading some things into those words, “to confer with Ms. Presley regarding the matters raised for the first time.” As in, are her attorneys getting some pushback from their own client about that bombshell allegation about a grandkid in Florida?
Well, maybe we shouldn’t get our hopes up too much that Priscilla is going to address that particular allegation. We just don’t know if that’s the case. But it looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer to get some answers.

Group Therapy: Our round table of rowdy regulars on the week’s news
A week extra seems like a small ask. Having worked in the legal field forty years of my career, it sounds less like a Priscilla problem and more like a law firm problem. If it is a Priscilla problem, it may only be that the law firm is unwilling to wade into the fray without a large additional influx of cash. I’m not reading anything into a one week delay.
The women in the Mace Kingsley ad looks insane. Is that the new image?
