Did Elvis Know About Priscilla's Affair?

[karenC]

I've often wondered about that since I've never seen or heard anything from the MM or otherwise. Personally, I don't think he knew that she was having an affair; he was too self absorbed or didn't care? What are your thoughts about whether or not he knew.

[SeeSeeRider777]

Elvis knew. He was going to have Mike Stone killed, but at the last minute he said no.

[thedoc]

of course he wasn't going to have killed nobody,we all could come to this edge verbally when we're extremely mad about someone.But I understand,coming from Elvis, this was a great material to be used in books and it was done that way.Besides I don't think this was her first affair.Anyway their private life is the least fav subject of mine,just had to join because I'm tired of his guys "killing" tale.

Yes, I understand that he was going to have Mike killed, but that was after Priscilla left. I was wondering if he knew about the affair before she left?

[Getlo]

He knew.

And she knew of his affairs as well.

here is more information about the affair from the book elvis what happened.

I don't think Mike Stone was her first love affair...I think she had others during the marriage (but usually she doesn't like to talk about this in her interviews) (n). I don't know if Elvis knew about them...they lived their own lives and it wasn't a real marriage anymore ;)

[riley]

indeed Mike was not the only one to find out about but I guess Mike was the last one because it was for Mike she left him

And ever since there has been a long line of men in Priscilla's life including I bet some we've never heard about as they were short-termed affairs.....she and Elvis were more alike in that way than she will ever admit.

(y)(y)(y) ..... and IF suzan finstad's statements about pris and currie grant are correct (strong hints that they are) then IMHO priscilla is even 'worse' than elvis ever was.

at least to my knowledge elvis never 'instrumentalised' any relationship (whatever its nature was) in order to achieve the goal of getting access to anybody or getting any advantage.

l think currie lied in childbride, if he was telling the turth pris wouldn't of sued him and won

Priscilla Presley filed a lawsuit against Currie Grant for his claims in the book, stating in her action that his claims were fabrications. On August 19, 1988 Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Curry found defendant Currie Grant guilty of defamation and ordered him to pay damages

Smartest post I've read today...(y)(y)(y)

I agree with you Ellie, at least Elvis didn't have affairs for gain. Priscilla has not had too many "poor" lovers has she and she's hit a gold mine with the latest one for sure!

:lol::lol: "Nasty Nigel"..isn't that what Ellie called him? :lol: I'm betting this is the wealthiest one yet...;);)

[presley31]

I think priscilla hates herself thats why she can't find real happeniss with anybody. If she happy with her new man well thats good for her than, its her life to do as she pleases.

[Diane]

I think Priscilla may be the kind of woman who can't be happy with any man because she goes after them for the wrong reasons and is much too self-involved. You have to give a lot to get in this world and she doesn't. Lisa has a different personality so hopefully she will end up happy and hopefully with Michael.

yep l agree, she needs to find out what she needs first to make her happy and than move on with someone, cause going out with lots of guy not only gives you a bad name but you feel like you not the worth anything in the world and when that right person cames around its to late, and you end up where you were before.

[LianaKaralivanou]

Does anybody know for how long Priscilla was having an affair with Mike Stone? If this affair was so important to her that she left Elvis for him, it should have lasted for a long time, I suppose...

[ksimms2]

I think a couple of years?

[franny]

Yes, true! She did win!

Both Elvis and Priscilla had affairs in their marriage, they both are to blame for their actions...I'm sure Elvis knew, but so did Priscilla...

franny

[Diane]

The only thing that bothers me is if Priscilla was telling the truth why was not Elvis mad at Currie???? Currie was still around years later as far as I've heard.

Diane

[franny]

Good question, Diane! (y) I didn't know Currie was still around years later :supriced:

franny

[presley31]

good questions but it must be true with currie grant cause priscilla didn't sue anything else in that book and elvis did things to that didn't make sense.

[Diane]

It is puzzling for sure as I know for a fact there is a photo that was posted on this site a while back that shows Currie opening the door of the car for Elvis and Priscilla that is taking them to the airport when Elvis was discharge from the army and heading home. That's several months after the supposed incident with Currie.

Also another photo which may have been when Elvis flew into Hawaii on a helicopter before filming the Aloha Special. That is 1973 and quite a long time after the what she said happened with Currie in Germany.....if I'm not mistaken on this one. Surely Elvis would have known by then and not have had him around. More likely, he would have wanted to have him killed too like Mike Stone had he known....and have gotten just as far lol.

Prisicilla's story just doesn't hang together like so many ofher other stories. Wish she'd make up her mind.

Diane

[presley31]

in the book from the MM they had stated that elvis was going to give mike stone a necklace after he knew about priscilla, so l really don't know to believe.

[utmom2008]

Diane

How true!! She can't make up her mind as to wether or not she and Elvis had an active sex life!:blush::blush: Don't you think you would remember??:supriced:

[Unchained Melody]

This had to be one of the most devestating events of Elvis' entire life.

One that would haunt him til the day he died, and one he never got over. Just like the death of his mother!

[john carpenter]

I read Elvis wouldnt satisfy Priscilla sexually because of his drug use,and she turned to Mike Stone for that.She also got sick of living in a "fishbowl"invironment.And yes Elvis asked Red and Sonny to "take out"Mike in a hit.But after thinking about it ,and came down from his drug fueled rage,he told Red and Sonny to forget it.

[cameron]

I read Child Bride .
That Currie Grants picture was in that book that showed where he and his wife took Priscilla to see Elvis off.
Even I was feeling like there were some things I just didn't need to know as I read that book.

IMO, Elvis and Priscilla both made mistakes in their marriage .Just like so many of us have. Whatever happened was over 30 years ago and no one can know the truth except Elvis and Priscilla.

well, i think he told the truth and she lied .... why do i think so? because judges can make mistakes, but FACTS always tell the truth!

these facts are:

in 'elvis & me' she tells about an alleged 'attempt to rape her' the first time he took her to see elvis and that afterwards she never saw him again since he was excluded by elvis from his circle as soon as she had told elvis about the incident.

if you go to the simplycilla site, you can see pictures of her currie had taken (or even some of her and currie together), and she does not look on those as if she felt frightened. in the contrary.

and BTW, with all the army-mates around to do him a small favour, why on earth should elvis have picked the following year her alleged rapist to shoot some photos of her to send over?!? now does THAT make ANY sense?

can't be her usual short-lived memory ..... i think any woman would remember an attempt to rape her or even any kind of 'severe misbehaviour' pointing in that direction and certainly try to avoid that person for the rest of her life if she can. i cannot see that she couldn't.

regarding the court ruling: well, AFAIK judges can make mistakes or are ill-prepared. otherwise there wouldn't be released dozens of candidates after years and sometimes after decades from US prisons or even from the death row because they finally were proven 'not guilty'! (OT: if the US judges don't make mistakes ... then why on earth is OJ Simpson still at large??? just my opinion, though).

IF priscilla (or anybody else) can explain to me how these photosessions can have happened despite the alleged rape ..... THEN i will believe she told the truth and grant lied. but not one single minute earlier!

since priscilla won't respond to such questions .... maybe you might give it a try and explain?

too much honour, really! :)

'nasty nigel' he is nicknamed by the british press for his behaviour as juror in these shows (which, to be honest, i never watch, just like i never watch AI / pop idol etc.). just not my cup of tea.

don't know about his bank accounts, but he's probably not poor. might change if he divorces ....

It's been awhile since I've read Elvis & Me--but in the book, correct me if I'm wrong, when Priscilla mentions the incident, she doesn't even name Currie? I think she changed the name to protect the person involved. I never understood how Currie came out and was like, "it was me she was accusing" when the name she gives in her autobiography isn't his--if I'm remembering correctly?

Honestly if she did or she didn't sleep with him to see Elvis, I don't care. Any girl in that situation, if you were a big enough fan, might do the same. She's not the only one who's done it (if it's true ie and ot but: a fan of David Cassidy's slept with Danny Bonaduce to meet David on the set of The Partridge Family)...anyways, I don't think any less of her if she did. I would just love to one day hear the "real" story.

l agree, l really couldn't care less about her sex life or anything like that, and me to will admire her too.
