    Yes, Vernon was abusive to her. You know people act like they want the truth and then when someone tells it, they are dirt. I'm just saying be careful what you ask for. And fans are hungry for every tid bit of truth about Elvis. While some think this stuff is crude, maybe so, but that is just the way it was and the way some of those people lived.
    Are they supposed to be ashamed?? Are the supposed to hide it all? Are they supposed to pretend to be something they are not. Are they supposed to pretend Elvis and his family was something they were not.
    This is the very thing that Cilla didn't like. She thought many of them were below her standards and class. It was what it was, not always a nice picture. But most of it is the truth. News flash, Elvis could be rude, crude, mean, and disgusting himself. Are you going to say it's a lie. He doesn't need anyone to protect him now. They protected him when he was alive, their job is over. They've been called every nasty name in the book. But they have no right to defend themselves by telling the truth? I disagree.

    How do we know that what they tell IS the truth?

    Oh Boy, JC... your intention of posting this video is genuine... so sorry with some remarks.. i found it funny yet i dont know very observant in too many different levels ... to each of their own... but let me say this : this thread will be ' so complicated ' so to speak in a long run ...

    But i guess you know its coming , right ?

    like many hillibillies would say: TCB Y'all..

    Re: The Memphis Mafia

    Funny thing though, is the fact that they haven't shared many of the stories about themselves when they were rude, crude, mean and disgusting. No wonder Elvis was such a lonely guy - being the only rude and crude guy and living with a bunch of little angels. Their stories might be a little bit more believable if they would tell more of the crap that they did! I guess we'll get the truth out of them one by one as they die - they'll rat each other out for the almighty dollar!

    I have this video somewhere and I know what you mean. You can agree or not with them for what they tell about Elvis but it's like any friends reunion talking about a common friend.

    Re: The Memphis Mafia

    Are you kidding me,???? they have told plenty of stories about themselves and they don't paint themselves as angels, far from it. They've said they were cheaters, did drugs, got into trouble and many more things. It's all out there in books and interviews. But then I don't think the purpose of the interview here was to talk about themselves. They were asked to speak about Elvis. Now if they went off on a tangent about themselves people would say that they are self-promoting. The bottom line is no one but those on the inside know if they are lying or not.
