In a legal twist that has captivated the public's attention, a lawsuit has emerged involving Hollywood icon John Travolta and the Presley family.
The suit, filed by Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, former business partners of Priscilla Presley, alleges that Travolta's youngest son was conceived through an egg donation from Riley Keough, granddaughter of the legendary Elvis Presley. This claim, if substantiated, would position the child as the great-grandson of the King of Rock and Roll.
The legal action, which seeks $50 million for breach of contract, names Priscilla Presley, now 80, and her son Navarone Garibaldi, 38, as defendants. As reported by One America News, the lawsuit suggests that Riley Keough, at 36, donated her eggs to Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, resulting in the birth of their son, Ben, who is now 15.
The suit further alleges that Lisa Marie Presley, Riley's late mother and Elvis's only child, had also previously donated her eggs to Preston. These claims are purportedly based on information from Lisa Marie's ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, who expressed skepticism when contacted by the Daily Mail, stating, "That just sounds crazy. I have not heard anything about it."
The lawsuit also includes a sensational claim that Travolta opted against using Lisa Marie's eggs due to her alleged opioid addiction, instead choosing Keough's donation for Preston to conceive their third child at the age of 48. The Travolta family has faced its share of tragedy, with their eldest son, Jett, passing away at 16 from a seizure in 2009.
Travolta recently commemorated what would have been Jett's 33rd birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post: "Happy birthday Jett I miss you so much! Love you forever!"
Further allegations in the lawsuit suggest that Keough was compensated with an old Jaguar and a sum between $10,000 and $20,000 for her egg donation. A handwritten note on hotel stationery, purportedly detailing this arrangement, has been presented as evidence.
The note also implicates a doctor and nurse in the transaction, with Kelly Preston identified as the surrogate who carried the child. Preston, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 57 after battling breast cancer, is central to these claims.
While representatives for Travolta, Keough, and Presley have not publicly addressed the egg donation allegations, Priscilla Presley's attorney, Marty Singer, has vehemently dismissed the claims as "shameful." In a statement, Singer criticized Kruse, Fialko, and their legal team, stating, "Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to deflect from their significant liability to Priscilla Presley."
He further condemned the conduct of the plaintiffs and their legal representatives, asserting that their actions "absolutely will be addressed in court." As the legal proceedings unfold, the public remains keenly interested in the outcome of this high-profile case, which intertwines the legacies of Hollywood and rock and roll royalty.
