The complaint contains deeply troubling motivations allegedly attributed to Travolta through Lockwood’s claims. According to the filing, Lockwood alleged that after Jett’s death in 2009, Travolta believed he needed to salvage his career. The filing states that Lockwood claimed Travolta faced mounting accusations of impropriety that threatened his status as a leading man in Hollywood.
The court document claims Travolta allegedly told Presley family members that his wife Kelly Preston should not use Lisa Marie’s eggs because he worried about negative public perception. According to the complaint, Travolta and Preston then orchestrated an arrangement where Riley Keough provided her genetic material instead.
Compensation Allegations and Settlement Attempts in Lawsuit Claims
The amendment specifies that in exchange for her egg donation, Riley Keough allegedly received an old Jaguar automobile and monetary compensation between $10,000 and $20,000. The filing further claims that Lockwood wanted Kruse and Fialko to use this information as leverage to orchestrate a financial settlement for himself and his daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood.
The complaint also alleges that when Navarone Garcia, Priscilla Presley’s son, learned of these revelations, he demanded that Kruse and Fialko keep the information about Riley and Travolta’s son confidential. According to the filing, Garcia allegedly requested a million-dollar settlement in exchange for his silence.

— Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough, Joint Statement to People Magazine
Priscilla Presley’s legal team, represented by attorneys Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, issued strong statements condemning the allegations. The lawyers characterized Kruse and Fialko’s actions as unethical and designed to pressure Priscilla Presley into retracting legitimate claims made in a separate lawsuit involving estate administration disputes.
Priscilla’s attorneys emphasized that after losing multiple motions and failing to have defending counsel disqualified from the case, Kruse, Fialko, and their legal team demonstrated willingness to cross ethical boundaries. The legal team noted this represents Kruse and Fialko’s fourth set of attorneys on the case since litigation began.
