Priscilla Presley Says Elvis Presley Slapped Her

Priscilla Presley, the ex-wife of legendary singer Elvis Presley, has divulged some of the more troubling aspects of her relationship with the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Priscilla and Elvis met when she was just 14 years old while he was stationed in Germany during his Army career.

After courting her for eight years, they married in Las Vegas in 1967.

However, their marriage only lasted six years before ending in divorce.

In a 2015 interview, Priscilla opened up about her experience with Elvis.

She claimed that he was controlling and tried to make her look as young as possible.

In addition to dictating what she wore, Elvis was also concerned about wrinkles.

Priscilla said that while doing homework, Elvis would slap her forehead and tell her not to do that as it would give her wrinkles.

Despite living under the same roof for several years before their wedding, Priscilla stated in her book, Elvis and Me, that she never had s** with him until after they got married.

She also revealed that Elvis was violent towards her throughout their marriage.

On one occasion, he forced her to have s** with him after suspecting that she was having an affair.

Priscilla admitted that she noticed Elvis’ controlling behavior from the beginning, but she didn’t think much of it at the time.

She said that he would often tell her what to wear and what colors to avoid.

Priscilla was just 16 years old when she started dating Elvis.

She added that she was too young to realize that she was losing her teenage years by being with Elvis.

Despite the alleged abuse, Priscilla maintains that she and Elvis had a loving relationship.

She doesn’t want to bring up anything that could tarnish his legacy.

Priscilla said that she was honest in her book, but people often try to pick out details that make the situation seem more complicated.

Elvis and Priscilla’s marriage dissolved after rumors of his extramarital affairs began to circulate.

Priscilla mostly stayed in Memphis with their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, while Elvis spent more time in Hollywood.

The revelation of Elvis’ abusive behavior towards Priscilla highlights the importance of speaking out against domestic abuse.

In the United States, victims of s**ual assault can call the RAINN National s**ual Assault Telephone Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 to connect with a trained staff member from a s**ual assault service provider in their area.
