NEARLY TWO YEARS AFTER HER DEATH, LISA MARIE PRESLEY’S DAUGHTER HAS RELEASED THE LATE STAR'S MEMOIR, FROM HERE TO THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
LISA MARIE PRESLEY'S Bombsh

1. She Saw Elvis’ Death Coming

Growing up at Graceland, the family’s famed Memphis mansion, Lisa Marie saw the effects of her father Elvis Presley’s prescription drug abuse long before his 1977 death at the age of 42 from a heart attack. “I wrote a poem with the line, ‘I hope my daddy doesn’t die,’” she writes, recalling how she once found him face down on the floor of his bathroom. “I knew that something tragic was coming.” The day he died, Lisa Marie, then 9, awoke to find him being carried out on a stretcher. “My life as I knew it was completely over.”

2. She Was Abused by her Mother’s Boyfriend

Lisa Marie alleges that her mother Priscilla’s former boyfriend Mommie Dearest actor Michael Edwards began sexually abusing her when she was 10. “He would touch me and spank me, telling me not to look,” she writes, adding, “I assume he was jerking off.” When her mother confronted Michael about the abuse, she recalls, “He’d say, ‘Oh, I was drunk’ or ‘She was actually flirting with me.’ I was 11, 12, 13.” (Edwards did not return one news outlet’s call for comment.)

3.She Tried to Kill Herself

When she was 14, Lisa Marie — who died at 54 in January 2023 from a small bowel obstruction — started dating a 23-yearold man who sold compromising photos of her. Devastated, she took 20 Valium with the intention of ending her life.

4.She Partied at the Scientology Center
