Lisa Marie Presley pens bombshell tell-all book on Michael Jackson and Elvis with 'shocking revelations'
Lisa Marie Presley is working on a blockbuster tell-all book deal where she will reveal very "shocking" details about her former husband — the late pop icon, Michael Jackson. She will also be sharing a new perspective on her father Elvis Presley.
According to a report by Page Six, a source shared that Lisa Marie's book is such a bombshell that she has sold it to Gallery Books for an amount between $3 million and $4 million. The source added that the book "promises shocking revelations about Michael Jackson and a completely new understanding of Elvis." The 51-year-old Lisa Marie was married to the 'Thriller' singer between 1994 and 1996.
The couple got married in a private ceremony before making their relationship public on MTV. However, their wedding bliss was short-lived and MJ and Lisa Marie split two years later.
In 2010, she addressed their marriage while doing an interview with Oprah Winfrey and said, "There was a very profound point in the marriage when he had to make a decision. Was it the drugs and the sort of vampires, or me? And he pushed me away."
She added that she meant "sycophants" when she said "vampires". She also made a comparison between Michael and her father Elvis and said that they were similar in terms of having the luxury to create "whatever reality around them they wanted to create".
In a 1995 interview with Diane Sawyer, she tactfully avoided questions about the sexual allegations made against Michael Jackson and said, "I know that he's not like that." She had also addressed the allegations in J. Randy Taraborrelli's 2003 book and said, "I believed he didn't do anything wrong, and that he was wrongly accused and, yes, I started falling for him. I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it."
The allegations were made into the HBO documentary titled 'Leaving Neverland' where the victims spoke about their experiences. The marriage of Lisa Marie and Michael has been covered in the documentary though she has never spoken about that. Lisa's new book is one among a number of high profile projects on Elvis.
