Elvis' relationship with cilla after Lisa

[senadw124]

In the movie ELVIS you hear Jonathan say that he can't have sex with a woman who has given birth to a child. Was this true, and what was the reason? :blink:

[hounddog]

It's also in Cilla's book. I don't know what the reason was and personally i think only Elvis would know or perhaps Cilla if he spoke to her about it. It's one of those to hard to answer questions.

it's years since i read her book maybe she explains it.

some one here might know what she said.

[john carpenter]

:hmm:Some say Elvis had a Mother fixation, and that he would never have sex with a woman who had a baby. That's the reason Lisa Marie is an only child.:lmfao::king:

[TCBnAflash]

I read that he got over that by the end of the 60s. Cilla was so hot, it had to be the fact that he got conned into marring her. I think that 's what happened.

[LianaKaralivanou]

This is what Priscilla wrote in "Elvis by the Presleys";
"Unexpectedly, the birth of our daughter, which I reasoned would bring my husband and myself closer together, pushed us apart. Elvis avoided intimacy with me. I remembered him telling me some time in the past that he just couldn't have sex with a woman who'd had a child. We fell into a psychological/emotional quagmire that neither of us really understood. I felt shut out. I also knew that his whirlwind lifestyle was not conducive to raising a child. Eventually there would be misunderstandings and mistrust..."

[MissyM]

Well she didn't give him much time now did she. She started an affair when Lisa was an infant. Couples go through stuff. Maybe he was afraid of her getting pregnant so soon after Lisa. I've known a few men and women who went through something similar after the birth of a child. Unfortunately she never gave it time to work itself out.

I think you most assuredly are onto something here...(y)

[4THEHEART]

this ex-wife of Elvis,can really be funny sometimes..lord,lord..

[presley31]

I have seen in lots of books about elvis not being able to be with someone who had kids and l think priscilla having his own child was alittle to much for him.

[Diane]

Nope, can't agree with that Jen. I think Elvis just didn't want HER anymore and she made this up. And...maybe he didn't want another child too soon after the first and then off she went with someone else anyway.

Diane

[Burning_Love]

Who knows? I think Elvis was afraid of her getting pregnant again.
I agree with you Diane (y)(y)

[Burning_Love]

Just to add a little something, i notice, as i browse through photos of Elvis and his women, that with Priscilla, he didn't 'play' with, 'touch' a lot if you understand. Like on pictures with Elvis and previous Girlfriends, he looks like he had more fun with the others.
Maybe he saw Priscilla as a little china doll, of whom he can make up to who he wants her to be - but only keep her that way, as someone who is always there at home. And when she got pregnant he got scared. :hmm: I'm not sure just got me thinking i spose.

I don't think she made that up cause the mm and some other people who wrote books all say the same and l can't see priscilla telling everybody to write elvis couldn't touch her:hmm:

I think there was a love there on both sides and some times pictures can speak for the time those two had togther.

I have read that the MM said that, too. I don't think Priscilla made it up...

Yes, I also think there was a love there, but then when the affairs on both sides happened, the love and the trust was gone...For a time they were happy and it does show in a lot of their pics together...

[cameron]

I agree with you Diane (y)(y)

IF I was to guess; this would be my opinion too.
Lots of people had trouble after the birth of a child.
Birth control was not so reliable back then. ;)
Some were just afraid to take the chance.

[Broussey]

Well Maybe it grossed him out . Maybe he felt like he was havin sex with a mother( like his own) sounds gross but maybe thats what he though of .. I dont think that he stoped lovin priscilla for one min i think that she was the love of his life even if she didnt think that way..

Excellent point! I personally think that he was pushed into this marriage, as I have said before. I don't think he ever regretted the pregnancy though...he loved Lisa so much. Maybe the ONLY bright spot in his life after he lost his Mother. I may be way out in left field on this one, but I truly think that Elvis expected Pris to stay at home and conduct herself accordingly because she had a part in forcing the marriage to take place. That was what she wanted...that is what she got...and it makes sense to me to think that he felt as if his debt to her had been paid in full. JMO...for what it's worth.

l agree,(y) shame some marriages don't last and the trust is gone.

[Diane]

Danielle, my feeling is that Elvis didn't play "touch" a lot with Priscilla because she wasn't approachable in that way. She was stiff and didn't have much of a sense of humor. She is the one who set herself up as an untouchable plastic doll from the beginning. Linda was able to kid and horse around with Elvis as he liked to do but Priscilla couldn't....only in the "intimate" way and that was not all he was interested in in a relationship with a woman. He needed a friend and a playmate as well and those roles Priscilla couldn't fulfill.

Had Priscilla been more rounded and easy going, I think the marriage would have lasted.

I agree with King's Queen that he felt he had paid her in full. I think he gave up on her long before they got married but once they did, I think he tried his best to make it work then for reasons of his own....and I don't believe it was the "madonna complex".

I sometimes to have to wonder how people can say this about priscilla without even knowing the woman and the people who knew her say different. I doubt very much she was cold, do you think elvis would of stayed so long, if that was the case elvis would of bought a home for priscillla to get rid of her, but he didn't. I think we all should use that saying elvis did, Son you have never walked in my shoes and not one of you have done that so you have no idea what was happening. Just cause books say this and this, doesn't always make it ture. No matter what anyone wants to think we weren't there in there private moments and nobody saw how elvis treated priscilla away from the guys and so on, so who are we say what she like after reading a book and not getting the whole picture.

Jen I partly base my feelings of Priscilla on all the men she's had from before she and Elvis were divorced and since. How can anyone have "deep" feelings for so many men? Also, her using Lisa to get more money from Elvis after the divorce and then taking back the Presley name when he was gone and it was convenient for her. Being so much around Vernon's bedside when he was dying when she didn't have much contact with him on a personal level after the divorce raises a lot of questions in my mind too.

I wasn't just influenced by the book "Child Bride". All that book did was reinforce what conclusions I'd already come to about her. But, as I've said before, my very deep personal feeling is that she was lead by her mother into that whole mess for monetary gain. In a way it wasn't her fault, she was brought up that way, then again, she should have known it was wrong once she got older.

Diane when you had things happen to you like losing your real father and thinking the whole time that paul was her father and than finding out differen tcan mess you up for life, not many know that cause its never happend to them. Priscilla used the presley name in the early 70's when her store got opened so elvis should of said something than but he didn't do that speaks more volumes than anything. The meney she first agreed with was very little and not many people could of lived on that so no wonder she back for more money l would of too. There been lots of things l know thats right or wrong but we all our human and built to make mistakes but heck even if she stayed married to elvis people would still complain one way or another.

[Diane]

Priscilla is one subject many of us will never agree on. Some see her as a predator and some as an innocent misused woman.

I been marry 2 1/2 years and the key is trust and love alot of love, That trust is hard to get back went is gone, but if you don't talk together on things or etc. that marrige will fall part .
What special about my marriage with my wife is she loves me way I'm , with my speech , We have little problem with my speech, we try work it out, there times she have probem understand me.
5 years ago we went to her sister about get marry and we want her ok, she said something that ready hurt me and I never forgive her are that yet. I think I will on my own time, She didn't came our wedding , she say she is sorry not coming. ity's not change my mind about her.
back to Elvis and priscilla , they Love each one , I think that Elvis Loves Priscilla
end time his death. I think she does too, They can't been In same House Together,
That's happened To My Mom And Dad, My dad love My mother up to his death in 1994

I think that both them In Own fawlt In The Marrige. It's took two people make it too work not one and It's not 50% and 50%, it's All 100% both them.

IN ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS theres is a quote of elvis saying, i was a lonely child but maybe mind kid wont be?????? ANY EXPLANATION as this counters the argument of him not having sex with a mother?

Who's to say he wanted more children with priscilla, just cause that was said doesn't mean it was aimed at priscilla., Tons of woman would of had his baby in a heartbeat.

Funny that you mention her store. This morning I had copies made of all my pics of her store, and I will be posting them. They were made in July of 73 at her store in LA...her store was called "Bis and Beau". She has one window that has ALOT of pics of her from when she was on the cover of Ladies Home Journal.
So...were you referring to a different store???

Diane, I totally agree with you on these statements. I don't buy the 'madonna complex' thing either. I think that he had lost interest in Priscilla long before the child was born...let us not forget that he had approached her asking for a seperation while she was pregnant.


I doubt very much she was cold, do you think elvis would of stayed so long, if that was the case elvis would of bought a home for priscillla to get rid of her, but he didn't.

Actually Jen, one could look at all of the homes Elvis owned and wonder if he kept a 'home away from home' to escape the marriage. Several members of the MM have stated that Elvis made no secret of the fact that he wished Pris was out of his life. Of course, it is up to the individual to choose whether or not to believe that.

Just cause books say this and this, doesn't always make it ture.

It's not so much an issue of the book "Child Bride", if that is one of the books you are referring to. It is, as Diane has pointed out, more of an issue of her behavior toward the men in her life, as well as her personality and drive for financial security. IMO she is transparent...no book needed to read her motives.

Very concise statements Diane. (y)

Once again, I must agree with Diane. When we are influenced by our parents/caregivers, we take on or learn certain behaviors belonging to those people. However, once we become adults, we then must CHOOSE whether or not we will continue with those patterns, or shake it off and do what we know is right. To assume that her behavior patterns are due to what she was 'groomed' to do/say, is the same as saying that she was not intelligent enough to know the difference between right and wrong. And I would certainly rebuke that!



Priscilla is one subject many of us will never agree on. Some see her as a predator and some as an innocent misused woman.

Diane

Priscilla is a def a 'hot topic' for Elvis fans. Some love her and some love to hate her. I chose to look at the many facets of this woman while I formed my own opinion of her. I just think that she had a very well thought out plan, perhaps assisted by someone (her Mother?), but none the less, she layed the groundwork and followed through with it. I cannot bring myself to have sympathy for her, nor can I excuse her for using the Presley name as she has. Not to mention how she has used EPE to her advantage, while she continually stated that what she was doing was to ensure Lisa's future interests.

But regardless of how any of us think of her, we need to accept that the opinions of our fellow Elvis fans are as diverse as the man himself, especially when it comes to Priscilla. Shall we just agree to disagree on yet another thread about Pris??? ;) :D

Regrades of how l feel about priscilla l agree and disgree to some of you points. I wonder how many of you done things your not proud of or pissed people off?? so she done things but heck so did elvis. it was elvis and priscilla faults things happened in there realtionship and nobody here will ever know what really happened except hearsay which you will never know if it is true. If you ask me this putting priscilla down is really silly for adults and l sometimes have to wonder do you all feel better for it:doh:

I agree with you, Jen. (y) I see a lot of hate for Priscilla and I don't think it's all warranted. If Priscilla didn't leave Elvis, would there be so much hate for her..:hmm:...Elvis made mistakes too..

franny

[Diane]

As I've stated before girls, it's not a hate I feel for Priscilla but a deep lack of respect for what she has said and done. I'm also very proud of Lisa that she chose to go another way even though she had the same upbringing. She made her mistakes too, but she never blamed anyone but herself and I've not ever heard of her using anyone to get what she wants.

I also don't think Priscilla looks any worse than a lot of celebrities out there who chose to have a lot of plastic surgery. It seems to be the trend these days. Even Linda went that route. You would think that surgeons would be better than they used to be with more modern technology but they seem to be putting out some very shoddy work. Meg Ryan is a prime example.

Diane

[MissyM]

Everything that Pricilla has done has made her motives questionable. That is her problem. This "he made mistakes" doesn't cut it for me. Two wrong don't make a right and it's no excuse for her actions. She has to own up to them. But there in lies the problem I think a lot of people have. She puts herself in the postition of victim. Elvis on the other hand very often held himself accountable for damages done in his marriage. Maybe some day if she chooses to take the blame off of him then people will cut her some slack. For the life of me, I can not understand how she allowed him to bare so much of the burden of guilt when he was alive and she still does. That guilt and the fact that he did take responsibility for a failed marriage ate him up. Why do you think he spoiled Lisa so much, because he felt it was all his fault about the marriage. Enough is enough. Yes, two people made mistakes, how often do you hear her talking about how many mistakes she made, about taking a child away from her father, about now being patient with his situation?
Oh and I don't feel I owe her anything when it comes to cutting her some slack. Because she didn't do that much for Elvis, and she sure as heck never cared about the fans. If you think so fine, but she cares about one thing when it comes to that fans, their money.

You are exactly correct.Prsicilla wouldnt be viewed as harshly had she stuck with him.She gets blamed for being the catalyst that led to his downfall which is entirely untrue.I give her credit for being able to leave someone like Elvis.It couldnt have been easy.

You are exactly correct.Prsicilla wouldnt be viewed as harshly had she stuck with him.She gets blamed for being the catalyst that led to his downfall which is entirely untrue.I give her credit for being able to leave someone like Elvis.It couldnt have been easy.
Jak

Yes, I agree! She does get blamed for his downfall, you're right it's untrue and not fair. Elvis and Priscilla remained good friends' after they divorced, if she was so bad, why would he want to? :hmm:

[franny]

Well some of us certainly can't agree about how we feel about Priscilla, her motives for things she's done and said, but we can say one thing.....most of us are still great friends and you can't measure the value of that! :)

Diane

I agree, Diane. :) We are still great friends even if we have different opinions! We all see things differently, there's nothing wrong with that. (y)

I read Priscilla's book and I think she didn't write that they did not have connection at all after Lisa was born, she wrote about only months after Lisa was born. As I remember well...

[debtdbruno]

I have just read Barbara Leighs book. Twice in this book(unless she's lying) she mentions her Son to Elvis. So supposedly he knew about her being a Mother, and still slept with her for two years.

Yes, but her son was not Elvis's child. Maybe that makes the difference. I guess we'll never find out but I don't think that's so important anyway.

Some time ago I read a story of one of his girlfriends. I don't know who it was, maybe Joyce Bova, I don't remember. She mentioned that (if she was telling the truth and not just wanting to make herself sound more interesting) Elvis told her he would not be interested in a woman sexually anymore if she had his child. She expected his child but never told him and had an abortion because she didn't want to miss having sex with him. Well, at least that was her story. :hmm:

[debtdbruno]

It was Joyce

[cbg84]

Nope, can't agree with that Jen. I think Elvis just didn't want HER anymore and she made this up. And...maybe he didn't want another child too soon after the first and then off she went with someone else anyway.

Diane

If he did not want her than why was he still so close to her after the divorce and broken up about the end of their marriage?

[emmajean]

I think that he still loved her and I don't believe that he in any way was pushed into marrying her. I just don't think he wanted to have her get pregnant again so soon. And also being a mother was something he held dear to his heart.

[elvislina]

Hello I don´t know. but if that movie play that I think that could be true or not and I am friend with Priscilla on myspace, but I not want ask her that because that could be not so kind of me and I am for kind for that.

I hope Elvis not had say that.

100% agree. (y)(y)

They remained "close" for 2 reasons.....1. They had a child together which forever links you, and 2. He had been with her since she was fourteen years old. He may have had his "moments", but Elvis was not all that "broken up" over the end of the marriage. The main thing that was "broken" was his ego. His ego was quite bruised over her leaving him for an unattractive karate instructor.:blush::blink:

Betti is a gorgeous friend who is friendly and loving, to everyone. I don't like anyone to hurt her feelings.

She only has nice things to say. I like some of these threads. Old videos, I still laugh at them, and love them. Some you may not have listened to on here, either.

Just enjoy, why not! :D

I not saying anything bad about cibetty

just stating that cibetty restarted this thread which is a 100% fact


cibetty isn't the only one who starts up old threads again but if it were me I'd just start a new thread on the subject.

Whoa!!!!!!!!! Please don't make something out of nothing!:blink::blink::blink::blink:

I simply asked who revived this thread and Brian provided the answer. How in the world you perceived that as anything more is beyond me.:blink:

You don't need to tell me what a great person Betti is...she is one of my best Elvis buddies!

I was talking to Brian. People have complained before, about old threads, and it's become unkind. Boy, you are fast to come in.

I haven't made anything of anything, at all.

":doh:" isn't a complimentary emicon, by any means, neither is ":blink:".

YES, it was me Rosanne, some of them were new to me.

Hey Ladies, I love you both!! :hug: :hug: :hug: And you're both great fans and great friends of mine.

[Brian]

I can understand that

me personally I like to talk about the 69 Memphis sessions more but do understand that many fans get the itch to talk about Priscilla Presley

I was just saying why not start your own thread instead of commenting on someone's old thread. You'll get more replies that way.

I've never been to a message board where posters will open threads after a year or several years and start commenting on it again.

The boards I've been on we just start a brand new thread it's easier that way because you don't have to search for old topics.

My mistake I guess. I assumed from the comment "I don't like anyone to hurt her feelings" that you were saying that Brian and I were doing just that. Judging from his reply...he thought the same thing.;)
"Fast to come in"??? Why? because I was on the board, saw your answer and replied?:blink::doh:

As for the emoticons....IMO they mean "confused" or "confusion." Which I was...and still am.;):blink::doh:

And I love you too Betti!(y) I think we have a relationship that not everyone here at TCB knows about!:D:lol:(y)

[suspicious_mind]

I think its beyond mean that Priscilla would even let anyone know that about Elvis. Its like shes trying to humiliate him and his memory further than some of it already has been.
