Priscilla the liar

[joanne]

Watching interviews of Priscilla Presley over the years which are available here-
http://simplycilla.com/mp/simplycill...newvideos.html
I became aware of how much she has contradicted herself and of how she has now come full circle .
On the interview in 1979 Mike Douglas introduces her by saying "This most beautiful young lady has an indominable spirit, has survived a divorce from one of the nations most famous entertainers and has now picked up the pieces"
That sounds as if Elvis divorced her and gave her a hard time.
She talked about being the spokeswoman for Wella Balsam shampoo and said "Theres been a lot of offers in the past few years but I really didn`t want a career"
That totally contradicts what she said In 1976 in a magazine interview when she spoke of her ambition to become an actress.
She went on to say that she didn`t want to do any acting in a tv series as she wasn`t interested.
Funny then how she went on to do Dallas.
Mike Douglas keeps referring to Elvis as her husband which is quite annoying.
Then he says "When you met Elvis you were very very young you were a child and you were advised by your parents and by I guess other people not to marry him"
"Oh yeah" said Priscilla.
That must be why her parents sent her to America to live with Elvis and then put pressure on him to marry her.
On handling the women throwing themselves at Elvis she said that she handled it by amongst other things talking. This is the same woman who said on the Presley documentary that "We needed to sit down and talk and I`m sure anything could have been resolved but those times weren`t really there."
On Lisa she says that in regards to her future career she wants her to be what she wants.
I guess that must be why she tried to stop her having a music career for so many years.
On Good Morning America she was told about the story by Elvis`s step-mother and step-brothers that Elvis was in the hospital 3 times in the Army in Germany for drug addiction and when asked if she could confirm or deny it she said she really can`t.
She was with Elvis and knew exactly that he didn`t have a drug addiction in the Army but she wouldn`t defend him by saying it wasn`t true.
During these interviews she is quite happy to talk at length about her relationship with Elvis.
With Tom Snyder he says to her that she delayed her career plans after Elvis died and she said that she did so because she didn`t want to be accused of cashing in. "I was going to do a career or have a career before he even died, I had an agent."
There she contradicts her remarks from the Mike Douglas show.
Cut to a few years later with Gary Collins in 1983 after she had found fame on Dallas and suddenly she doesn`t really want to talk about Elvis anymore.
On her landing the part in Dallas she says that the producers didn`t consider her for the role and it was only when they saw a tape of what she had done that they decided "The girl can act."
We are led to believe they didn`t want anybody recognisable and Priscilla says that "Trying to establish myself as an actress that name can be somewhat of an hindrance to me and I have to be seen more and shown that I`ve worked hard to get where I am right now."
The bosses of Dallas openly admitted to hiring her because of her surname but she seemed to have forgotten that.
Its a struggle with that name says Priscilla.
"To be associated with a name almost all of your life its very difficult to get over that hole because theres a person within me that has nothing to do with that name I mean theres Priscilla here and I just don`t want to be seen as Priscilla Presley."
When she eventually wrote the book she wasn`t going to write she went on countless interviews talking about Elvis again and was happy to be a Presley when the dollars were rolling in.
The same goes for EBTP and all the other items she has hawked over the years.
Priscilla change your name and if you are as talented as you say then you don`t need it anyway.
Stop milking Elvis to earn your living.
If you want to be your own person stop selling dvds with you and the Beaulieus whitewashing the truth.
You are a money-grabbing woman who should just go away quietly as I do not want to see you at Elvis Anniverary Concert in Memphis next year walking on-stage like royaly and playing Elvis`s widow.
It`s time to get a real job.

"To be associated with a name almost all of your life its very difficult to get over that hole because theres a person within me that has nothing to do with that name I mean theres Priscilla here and I just don`t want to be seen as Priscilla Presley."

Poor Cilla............ ....I'm crying for her!

Thanks for all these pieces of interviews...I couldn't know them.
The most positive thing to live here in Italy is that I don't have to see her on TV so often!
That woman has to go to a doctor to make a check up to her brain...
This is the proof of what I've been thinking about her for years...she's the QUEEN....yes, but the QUEEN OF HIPOCRISY!
It's really HARD for her to be considered for what she really is...with that name.... well...you decided to take it Cilla...nobody told you to do it!
I have to stop here...I always get mad wth this woman...and I always think that Elvis had discovered her real personality and lost his interest in her...thanks God!

It's back to the Naked Gun-universe for you, Priscilla..

"Frank Drebin: I see a lot of familiar face-lifts.."

[Dovey]

Wow Joanne, you are sure right about "Cilla" she is nothing bur a liar !! I sometimes wonder how she can look at herself in the mirro.. of course she probably thinks she is looking at Morticha

She stated when she and Elvis broke up that she took her madin name back because" she did not need the Presley name to make it in life."......Talk about a big joke. She is nothing without the Presley name and even with the name she is nothing to me but a joke!!!

Poor Elvis... she sure was one of his biggest mistakes of his life.. but I have read where he said that he loved her more like a little sister... and that he realized that there is love and then there is being in love... and he was not in love with her but loved her more like a little sister.

We are all human and make mistakes .. sad one for him!!!

All the things you guys have written are so true and sad at the same time. (Elvis can not defend himself.. so she just goes on and on.) One thing is for sure his fans loved him then and still love him today.... he will always be the King!!!!!! Dovey

You're so right Dovey and I think the same.
I think he needed someone to talk with during the Army period and for some strange reasons he saw something special in that girl, so that he could have found a sort of "reference" since he missed the only one he had before...his mother.
But I think with the time his feelings towards her changed a lot...of course he cared about her but I don't think he was really in love as a man can love a woman or a husband a wife.
I've always been surprised to know he wasn't attracted by her...how can you loose attraction for your wife after few months of marriage?
My answer is that he wasn't so in love before and maybe he had no others choices except to marry her.
This is really sad...I'm sad more for Elvis that couldn't live a real love, as he deserved it...about Cilla...what can I say...I think she knew what she was doing and did it...but I'm tired to see her speaking as a victim..

[Dovey]

Thanks ForEverThe King.... You are pretty Cool!!!

Love your drawings and your thiking I guess you must read a lot of Elvis books also... but as for your drawings... well you are a King there.... (or should I say queen) Dovey

Thanks Dovey!

Yes...a QUEEN!!

I'm glad you like the gifs and what I think about Cilla..well, not so different from your thoughts.
I haven't read a lot of books about Elvis, unfortunately, but this is my opinion about what's happened...I can't know if it's the truth...just my idea.
Elvis is not here and, as you told befoe, Cilla can still tell and do what she wants.
But I've always said..."Elvis is watching her"

[ad schijven]

Dear Joanna,

we`ve been over this `subject` many times before and you know that i`ll support you all the way !! Your opinion about `Beaulieu` is exactly the same as mine and it`s good to see that we are not alone on this subject.
I never understood why so many Elvis fans worship this *****, while the only thing she does is using Elvis and his name over and over again.
When i saw her in `Elvis by the Presley`s` and heard her talk about him, it made me sick to the stomac. She stills talks about `our` house and `we` had, but to my opinion that `our` and `we` ended on that beautiful day in 1973 in Santa Monica. In the meanwhile she couldn`t resist on playing `the victim` again and ofcourse there was that `lizard tongue story` again, backed up by her sister.
When you see the reaction of Lisa when they speak about Elvis` dead, that`s full of emotion. Priscilla speaks about it with no emotion at all
The only thing she appears for is money and publicity, like during the visit op the Japanese Koizumi. Oh how much i hate this barracuda and i wonder.....will she ever leave the Elvis world for good??/

[graceland123]

don t get me started on this t***
i liked her early on but overall the years she has made a money after money off elvis s back .
he grafted all his life so this ***** could gain everything .
she has nt done a days work in her life she doesn`t know what the word means
what can one say about those bloody clips except they are shite. the interviewers kiss her *** constantly by saying to her it must of been so hard for you .my god she wasn`t in an abusive relationship she wasnt with a man who treat her badly she didnt have to suffer money problemsbut yet it was so dificult for the poor little bugger pass my the kleenex

I have just watched part of THE FALL GUY which was one of my favourite shows back in the day but she bloody ruined it her acting was AWFUL it was like she was reading from a sign someone was holding up
she says she was hired for dallas because she can act my god she was acting when she said that
everything she has done work wise is because of being a PRESLEY why not have the balls to admit it
look at her at the night of 100 stars swanning round like a model thinking shes gods gift .i did find her attractive in the early days but i dont like women who love themselves that much
when people say shes beautiiful she doesn t batter an eyelid because shes been told it all her life ther e is no modesty or humility about her its as if she feels she has earned everything she has .well little pris let me tell you sitting with a snake wrapped round you talking to bloody animals and snogging bobby ewing doesnt make you worthy of all you have and that isnt earning it
elvis earned it by coming from an impoverished bacckground and touring different places every night and facing obstacles which he overcame to become the success that he was
working himself so hard that he could affort his dream home graceland and the cars that he loved and other things and why not he earned them
then this grabber who whinges and moans about how hard life has been for her being a presley gets everything
it makes me puke to be honeest

notice the clip on EVENTS young musicians concert award lisa-mari e is receiving an award but priscilla manages to get on stage with her because she has to get in on the limelight and lisa doesnt look too happy
she shouldnt even be there its not anything to dowith her
i think elvis cottoned onto her probably during the pregnancy because she has said that he asked her for a trial separation and after that it was never the same
i think elvis realised soemthings about her that werent good
i just wish we could know more about what elvis perspective was on the whole thing as we all know jerry schilling as written a book hugely endorsed by priscilla so obviously she will come out of it smelling of roses but we never really get elviss real feelings about her yes he may of said nice things publicly but privately he may of felt very different
he wasnt the type of man to slag off the mother of his child as we all know
he kept his own counsel i think on a lot of matters
that has helped priscilla a great deal in forging her reality of her life with elvis which doesnt particularly have a lot of truth to it
in i think the synder interview she said she was in a cafe and a man approached her with would you like to meet elvis presley then he came up to her the next time and asked her again then he went to all the trouble of meeting her parents and picking her up and driving her
time for a reality check that is straight out of mills and boon and complete crap
this is the girl who just before leaving for germany mapped out with her friend where elvis was going to be stationed
if she wasnt an elvis fan why would she do that ill tell you why because she was on a mission to meet him and she befreinded currie grant to make it happen
the man has always said for the last fifty odd years thhat priscilla walked upto him and asked if he knew elvis and could he introduce him to her
that to me sounds more logical explanation
she wasnt the naive young girl she knew what she was doing

I had no idea about any of this. Thanks for all this info. If having the last name Presley is such a burden, then maybe she should drop it, or get married and get a brand new last name. She's had a couple of kids to some dude and she won't marry him because if she does she has to give up the Presley name. Yet the name is her burden and hinders her attempts to look for work. I wonder what she would be doing now if she hadn't met Elvis in the first place. Would she be an actress? I doubt it.

Good one Cilla, pull the other leg.

[songs4u]

joanne,

I put this statement in one of my threads about the ones who really loved Elvis. I hope you don't mind me putting it here. I was typing it and I got so aggrevated with Miss Priss and then I thought about your thread and here it is.

I think Elvis had the old fashioned southern ideas of how and what a wife should be, which is fine.
Priscilla knew this when she moved in with him. Her playing the part of a naive teenager is a bunch of bull to me. Everyone talks about how mature she acted. She knew what she was doing. She was planning to marry Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock 'n Roll".

She couldn't leave until she got the name.

She knew his lifestyle and what he expected of her before she ever married him. What did she have, 6 years to think it over?

Overnight she turned from a schoolgirl to Mrs. Presley who ran the house and had no more fear of Elvis throwing her out. She did anything and everything he said before they were married. She even admits she was afraid someone else would have gladly taken her place if she didn't do what he said.

I think she loved him to some degree BUT, at the end when he was in trouble and dying and everyone saw what was happening to him, if she loved him so much she should have gone back or done anything she could to get him back on track. I think when you love someone, really love them, you'll do anything to save their life. Elvis may not have wanted to marry when he did but, I think he loved her. Elvis might have been helped by her coming back and trying to help him. I don't know if everyone's heard the live version of "It's Midnight" when he says in the song "listen, Cilla". And you know he recorded that song late in his career so he was still thinking about her.

I guess that's what pisses me off the most with her. I think that's why I dislike her so much.

She should have been there for him. She says everyone tried talking to him including her. But, I don't know how much of anything she says is the truth.
She says he confided in her when he felt lost over his mother's death. I think she sort of puts it like she replaced that loss in his life.

When you love someone unconditionally you sometimes have to think of them when they're in trouble before you think of yourself. He was in trouble.

Sorry for my ranting and raving. It hurt me so much when Elvis died and anyone I feel that could have helped him in any way and didn't upsets me.

[MISSCLAWDY]

I totally agree, she's a liar!!! And she plays the victim role too....!!!
I just can't stand her!
Poor thing, it's hard having Presley as a name...so why did she take it?? she wasn't his wife anymore when he died but still....!!!

[jak]

I've never really understood the intense negative feelings people have about her.I give her credit for being independent enough to leave Elvis back then.I like Elvis as much as anybody do you any of you think he was a good husband?He was a joke as a husband.She could trash him but she never has.Elvis was just a human being and had his faults.Everybody around Elvis has contradicted themselves over the years.It was a long time ago and I dont think the people who were around Elvis sit and dissect and study his every move like we do.Memories fade and opinions change.Its human nature.Dont forget it was Vernon who brought her back to handle things.He must have trusted her.Like it or not she did do her job very well from a business standpoint.I think some people are jealous of her marriage to Elvis and others blame her for his decline.

No jelousy for her...Elvis got millions of women and this is not the reason of our feelings towards her.
I agree you about her choice to go away and the fact he wasn't a good husband...but she wasn't a saint and a victim...things didn't work between them and this can happen in a couple.
What I don't like is her behavoiur after his death...
I think Vernon tried to do the best thing for Lisa...and Cilla was the only one who could take care about Lisa interests.
Sorry...everyone can have an opinion and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who think she could have acted differently; I'm tired to see her going everywhere, calling herself Presley, selling stupid stuff using his name and say how much she still love him...PLEASEEE!!!
She was her wife but it was over that 1973...I'd prefer to see her living her life and taking care of business in a more private way.
She should try to be more honest sometimes...I'm sure now she would have much more reaspect from many Elvis fans!

I agree with you 100 %
It?s not what she did while living with Elvis, i understand her in that time. It?s what she is doing since he died what makes me angry and makes me dislike her. And don?t think i?m jelous of her because i like almost all his girlfriends...
Anyway everyone has its own opinion

As I have said before, I don't blame Priscilla for leaving Elvis. I'm not jealous and I would have left Elvis long before she did if I had been in her position. I've never loved Elvis in the way where I would want to marry him, or even put up with his behavior and sexist ideas.

The thing I hate about her is that she constantly tries to portray heself as a victim in the public eye. God knows what sort of one sided stories she has told Lisa Marie. Elvis wasn't perfect. That fact doesn't make me respect him as an entertainer any less. He is still and will always be the king. No one can ever replace or come close to reaching the levels he did.

Priscilla wrote the book Elvis and Me. Then she produced a revised telemovie that had been rewritten to make her look more like a victim than she had in the book. Elvis was made to look plain evil to her. She has taken every oportunity to exploit the Presley name for her own benefit. She refuses to drop the name and kept it even after he divorced her in 73. She continues to play the widow of Elvis Presley, and she was his ex-wife. She wasn't around for him when he was alive, but the Presley name was far too benificial to her after his death for her to give up or even marry another person.

[jak]

I would point out one undeniable fact to anyone who doesnt think she wasnt a victim of sorts.Do you remember how old she was when Elvis became interested in her?Elvis was the adult and she was just a child.You have a guy take her from home based on promises that Im sure were not kept.Im guessing Elvis was unfaithfull first.Please dont think Im bashing Elvis.He was the ultimate performer but far from a perfect human being just like the rest of us.I think all his lying and cheating did make her a victim.He never should have gotten involved with a girl that age to begin with.I dont know how he escaped a huge scandal.
Jak
