Revealed: Lisa Marie Presley’s Troubled Marriage to Michael Jackson and Her Strong Reaction to Child Abuse Allegations

Lisa Marie Presley Would Have Killed Michael Jackson

In a shocking revelation from her posthumously published memoir, Lisa Marie Presley candidly discusses her tumultuous relationship with the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. She unequivocally states that had she encountered evidence of any inappropriate behavior, particularly regarding allegations of child abuse, she would have taken drastic action.

Describing her feelings toward Jackson, Elvis Presley’s daughter remarked, “I never saw a goddamn thing like that. I personally would’ve killed him if I had.” Presley’s reflections not only shed light on the inner workings of their brief marriage but also highlight her apprehensions about becoming a mother to Jackson’s children. Despite his strong desire to parent, she expressed a deep fear of his controlling nature, foresightfully fearing it would lead to her being sidelined after giving birth.

Lisa Marie revealed, “Michael wanted to control things. He didn’t want a mother influence or any other influence for that matter. I figured Michael would have me have the children and then dump me, getting me out of the picture.” This controlling aspect of his personality contributed significantly to the breakdown of their marriage, which lasted less than two years.

Presley also took the opportunity to address a sensitive topic—their physical relationship. She disclosed that she took Jackson’s virginity when he was 35, recalling their intimate evenings together and his lack of sexual experience with previous partners. The couple developed their romance when she was still married to musician Danny Keough, leading to a scandalous affair that eventually culminated in their marriage in 1994.

Reflecting on their connection, Presley shared a romantic moment during a Las Vegas trip where Jackson professed his love for her. “Michael said, ‘I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children.’ I didn’t say anything immediately, but then I said, ‘I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk,'” she recounted.

The marriage ended amidst Jackson’s escalating struggles with addiction and his isolating behavior. “I can get really mean and really angry, and I freak people out when I get like that. It comes from trying to protect myself from pain,” Presley noted, revealing the impact of her relationship with Jackson on her emotional well-being.

Tragically, both stars have since passed away; Jackson succumbed to cardiac arrest in 2009 at the age of 50, and Presley died in early 2023 at the age of 54 due to complications from surgery. Their shared past continues to evoke intrigue, especially through the unfinished memoir that her daughter, Riley Keough, meticulously completed by listening to recordings left behind by her mother.

Lisa Marie Presley’s insights into her complex relationship with Michael Jackson offer a glimpse into the struggles and intricacies of their time together, painting a portrait of love, fear, and the pursuit of understanding in the midst of chaos.
