Priscilla Presley has responded to claims that her granddaughter Riley Keough is the biological mother of John Travolta’s youngest son.
This claim was brought by Priscilla’s former business partners Brigitte Croce and Kevin Fialko in a $50 million breach of contract lawsuit against Priscilla and her son Navarone Garibaldi Garcia.
The duo claimed in the lawsuit that Priscilla’s late daughter Lisa Marie donated her eggs to Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston, and that their children, daughter Ella Blue, now 26, and son Jett, who died in 2009 at age 16, may be her biological children.
They also claimed that Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley, also donated her eggs to the couple and is the biological mother of their youngest son Benjamin, 15.
“Brigette and her co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no lower limit, no ethical line they are not willing to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family,” Priscilla’s statement in response to the allegation read.
The statement continued: “These latest outrageous allegations are completely unrelated to the allegations in this case.”
Cross and Fialko’s filing bases its claims on third-party statements, such as: “Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, and father of Harper and Finley Lockwood, approached Plaintiff Cross, telling her that John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, was unable to conceive her children, and that Travolta and Presley had previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to conceive.”
The filing also added, “Travolta and Preston reached out to the Presley family in or around 2010, while they were in Hawaii. Lockwood claimed that Travolta said he no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs because they didn’t want eggs with heroin, and they orchestrated a deal, where Riley Keough gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta.”
“Lockwood gave Cross a photo of Riley with her son, Ben Travolta, at John Travolta’s house in Maine. Riley got an old Jaguar and paid her money,” Lockwood said.
