'I'd never disrespect Elvis': Priscilla Presley slams Bam Margera as she denies giving him icon's robe and ring
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Bam Margera recently claimed that Priscilla Presley, the former wife of the late Elvis Presley, gave him some of Elvis' personal belongings. All of these claims have since been proven false, as Priscilla has admitted that she never gave Margera any of Elvis' personal items, including his robe and ring.
Priscilla, 77, issued a statement shooting down Margera's claims to TMZ. She claimed that her son Navarone Garcia had invited Margera, his "new friend" over for a visit, but she was unaware of who this friend was "or that later he would choose to post photos and false stories," as reported by TMZ. She insisted that the ring Margera, 43, claimed to have been gifted actually belonged to him, and the robe was not one of Elvis'. She said that Margera "came over, talked non-stop about his new ventures and personal struggles and asked for a photo with me for his father, who is a big fan," according to TMZ.

Priscilla also claimed that she and her son Garcia do not want to speak to him any further, as reported by TMZ. She said, "Unbeknownst to us at the time, Bam chose to circulate those photos accompanied by false information and storytelling. After what Bam has chosen to do, my son and I want no further communication with him."
Priscilla stated, "I consider him a dishonest and unstable individual. I had no idea who he was or that he was filming in my home without my consent," according to TMZ. She adamantly rejected reports that Margera was given any of the King of Rock 'N' Roll's personal belongings, saying she would never "disrespect" the "love of my life" by giving away anything that were once his.
Priscilla said, "At no time during the visit did I give him anything of Elvis. I still have everything he ever touched. I would never disrespect Elvis who was the love of my life by giving away anything that belonged to him. I have always protected them for the fans. Elvis belonged to all of you and I cherish my life with him too much to ever squander anything."
Has Bam Margera apologized to Priscilla?
Margera has apologised to both Priscilla and Garcia on Instagram for his conduct after she denied gifting him any Elvis-related goods. He wrote, "I want to apologize to @priscillapresley and Navarone Presley for my behavior. I'm very sorry and embarrassed, and I can't apologize enough for acting like a jackass."
"Navarone gave me a robe and ring that I gave Phil to be a part of Phil’s Elvis stuff. I'm making Navarone a $10,000 Heartagram necklace because I love his band @themguns with hopes to record and tour. I'm sorry," Margera concluded.
