According to the amended complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on December 16, 2025, Michael Lockwood (Lisa Marie’s ex-husband) allegedly told Kruse that Travolta and Preston had previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs because Preston was unable to bear her own children. The filing details how Lockwood claimed the couple later approached the Presley family around 2010 seeking additional assistance.
The court documents state that Travolta allegedly no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs “because they did not want ‘eggs with heroin’ on them,” according to claims attributed to Lockwood. Instead, the filing contends that a deal was orchestrated where Riley Keough donated her eggs to Travolta so Kelly Preston could give birth to their son Ben Travolta. The alleged compensation included an old Jaguar and between $10,000 to $20,000, according to the complaint.

Both Riley Keough and Priscilla Presley have categorically denied the allegations. In a rare joint statement released in September 2025, they wrote: “We are aware of the latest allegations from Brigitte Kruse. These claims are not only untrue but also deeply hurtful. Our family is, and always has been, united in love and respect for one another.”
Priscilla’s attorneys, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, called the allegations “outrageous” and described them as a “completely improper effort to exert undue pressure” on their client. The legal team emphasized that Kruse and Fialko are on their fourth set of attorneys after losing multiple motions in the ongoing litigation. They characterized the claims as having “absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case.”

The Link to Lisa Marie Presley’s 2023 Death and Estate Battle
These allegations emerged from litigation sparked by Lisa Marie Presley’s sudden death on January 12, 2023, at age 54. Immediately following her death, the complaint claims the entire Presley family clamored for control of the estate, creating significant chaos. Michael Lockwood allegedly approached Brigitte Kruse claiming that he and his twin daughters with Lisa Marie were “financially destitute” and seeking settlements.
The amended complaint also includes surprising claims about Ben Travolta, apparently referencing him as Priscilla’s “beautiful great-grandson” in documents. The filing contends that Riley Keough currently serves as the sole trustee of Graceland and Lisa Marie’s substantial estate, a position that has been a point of contention among family members. Priscilla’s legal team emphasizes that these new allegations are part of a larger campaign of pressure against their client.
What Happens Next in This Hollywood Legal Saga?
The allegations present one of the most unusual claims in recent celebrity litigation. Priscilla Presley’s legal team has signaled they plan to vigorously defend against the claims in court. Meanwhile, Kevin Fialko and Brigitte Kruse’s attorney, Jordan Matthews, stated that his clients “will let the facts and the truth speak for itself” and claimed they were forced into litigation by the Presley family’s alleged false allegations against them.
The case remains ongoing in Los Angeles Superior Court, with no resolution in sight. The Presley family has maintained a united front despite the chaos, with Riley and Priscilla releasing joint statements defending their bond. Legal experts suggest this case could take years to fully resolve, given the complexity of the claims and the family’s extensive wealth and resources at stake.
