Alert – Lisa Marie Presley claims mom Priscilla’s ex-boyfriend molested her when she was 10 in bombshell memoir

Lisa Marie Presley has claimed she was molested by Mike Edwards, her mother Priscilla Presley’s ex-boyfriend.

The late Lisa Marie, who died in January 2023, said in her memoir From Here to the Great Unknown, which was posthumously released on Wednesday after daughter Riley Keough finished the project for her, alleges that Mike touched her when she was 10.

In the memoir, Lisa Marie said when she was 10, he came into her bedroom one night and touched her leg with his finger.

‘He said he was going to teach me what was going to happen when I got older. He was putting his hand on my chest and saying a man’s going to touch here, there, he put his hand between my legs, and he said they’re going to touch you here,’ Lisa Marie wrote.

Priscilla dated Mike from 1977 until 1984.

Mike, now 80, began his career as a model.

He played Ted Gelber, Joan Crawford’s lover in the movie Mommie Dearest, released in 1981.

He appeared in Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1991.

‘I think he gently kissed me and then left that night,’ Lisa Marie, the daughter of rock n’ roll legend Elvis Presley, added in her memoir.

She told her mom Priscilla the next day and wrote that she went into her room and slammed the door, before calling for Lisa Marie to come inside.

Lisa Marie said that Priscilla told her Mike wanted to apologize to her.

‘Edwards was sitting on their bed looking very sullen and sulky… he said, “I’m so sorry, but in Europe that’s how they teach the kids so that’s what I was doing.’

However, after his apology, Lisa Marie alleged that it continued, according to her memoir. 

‘Eventually it became that he would touch me and spank me, telling me not to look [at him].

‘I assume he was jerking off. He wouldn’t be mad at me – he did it very calmly, just sitting in a chair, whacking my a**. My but would be black, blue, orange and green,’ Lisa Marie wrote.

When she approached her mom Priscilla and showed the bruises, she recalled she told her: ‘Well what did you do to cause that?’ 

When Priscilla did confront him on the other occasions, Lisa Marie claimed that he would say that he was ‘drunk’ or that she was ‘flirting’ with him. 

The memoir was posthumously released on October 8; Lisa Marie had been working on it at the time of her death. Daughter Riley finished the memoir after her passing. 

Lisa Marie died on January 12, 2023 at age 54, due to a small bowel obstruction – which was caused by bariatric surgery complications.

She died two days after attending the Golden Globe awards with Riley and Priscilla Presley.

Page Six reached out to Mike for comment, and he told the outlet: ‘I’m in shock, that’s untrue…. I was like a father to Lisa Marie. I don’t think Lisa was that stable during that period of time.’

He added that no one from the publishing house reached out to him prior to the book’s publication.

 In Mike’s book, which he released in 1988, titled Elvis, Priscilla and Me, he admitted that was ‘craving Lisa sexually,’ and that he was ‘in love’ with her.

‘Where Priscilla and I had once been inseparable, it was now Lisa and I who were together almost every day. Soon I found I was looking at my watch, waiting for Lisa’s school to let out, just as Elvis had once eagerly awaited Priscilla’s return to Graceland from school each day.’ 

Lisa Marie also opened up in the memoir about her decision to keep late son Benjamin’s body in a guest house of her LA mansion – using dry ice to preserve his remains for two months after his July 2020 suicide at age 27.

Lisa Marie also got a matching tattoo as Benjamin amid her grieving process.

Riley said she wanted to get his name and to get a matching tattoo with him on her hand.

When the tattoo artist asked her if she had any photos that would be helpful in the process, Lisa Marie took him to see Ben and his remains.

They had the funeral in Malibu eventually and buried Benjamin at Graceland, where Lisa Marie is also buried – near Elvis, who died in 1977 at age 42 from a heart attack.
