Lisa Marie Presley's Remarks About John Travolta's Parenting Resurface Amid Wild 'Egg' Donor Allegations

Years before a controversial lawsuit involving her daughter, Riley Keough, the late Lisa Marie Presley praised John Travolta and Kelly Preston for their devotion as parents.

Now, recent court filings by Priscilla Presley's former associates claim Keough acted as an egg donor for Travolta and Preston's son Benjamin, allegations strongly denied by Priscilla's legal team.

Priscilla Presley's attorney called the allegations "outrageous" and vowed to address them in court as their legal battle drags on.

What Lisa Marie Presley Said About John Travolta And Kelly Preston's Parenting

Lisa Marie, who passed away in 2023 at age 54, publicly praised Travolta and Preston, calling them "good" friends and commending their devotion as parents.

In a 2009 blog post written after the death of the couple's teenage son Jett, Lisa Marie expressed deep sympathy, calling Travolta and Preston "the sweetest people" and applauding their tireless efforts to care for him amid his seizure disorder struggles.

According to Page Six, she described their loss as the "worst possible tragedy a parent could be forced to endure, and wrote: "[They] were on a… never-ending quest to get and provide him with the absolute best care anyone could ever ask for and need, medically, physically, emotionally, medicinally and spiritually."

The "Dirty Laundry" singer also addressed misconceptions about Scientology, which she left in 2013, noting it had once been a community for her through her mother, Priscilla Presley.

"It became my tribe," she wrote in her posthumous memoir, "From Here to the Great Unknown."

John Travolta And Lisa Marie Presley Were Good Friends Till Her Death

Before her passing, Lisa Marie appeared to maintain her friendship with Travolta and Preston, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2020.

Travolta publicly mourned Lisa Marie's passing, saying at the time that he knew they would see each other again someday.

He wrote on social media, "Lisa baby girl, I'm so sorry. I'll miss you, but I know I'll see you again."

Travolta also attended Keough's 2015 wedding to Ben Smith-Petersen.

The Actor Remains Silent Amid Controversial Egg-Donation Claims Involving Riley Keough

The "Grease" star has not yet commented on recent claims that Lisa Marie's daughter, Riley Keough, served as an egg donor for his and Preston's son, Benjamin.

The claims were made by Priscilla's former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, who alleges in court filings that Keough received $10,000–$20,000 and a vintage Jaguar in exchange.

While Lisa Marie allegedly offered her eggs, the couple reportedly declined due to concerns over her past substance use.

The allegations appear in an amended $50 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by Kruse and Kevin Fialko, naming Priscilla and her son Navarone Garibaldi Garcia as defendants.

Lawsuit Alleges Explosive Claims Linking Presley Family To John Travolta And Kelly Preston Fertility Arrangement

The filing includes explosive claims attributed to third parties, notably Lisa Marie's ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, father of her 17-year-old twins Harper and Finley.

Lockwood is repeatedly cited as the alleged source of statements that Travolta and Preston had used Lisa Marie's eggs to conceive Benjamin, though he denies any knowledge of these claims.

"That just sounds crazy. I have not heard anything about it," Lockwood told the Daily Mail.

The amended complaint also references handwritten notes with phrases including "CA fertility partners," "Ben Travolta," and "Kelly Preston carried baby," as well as a text exchange allegedly referring to Benjamin as Priscilla Presley's "beautiful great-grandson."

It further claims that the arrangement required "sign-off" from the Church of Scientology and involved Priscilla's oversight.

Kruse and Fialko allege that Lockwood intended to use this information "to orchestrate a settlement for him and his daughters," and claim that Garcia later "threw a tantrum," insisting that Keough and Benjamin remain out of the press while asserting he should be the family's sole male musician, referred to in the filing as "the king."

Priscilla Presley's Attorney Slams Allegations As 'Outrageous' And Vows Legal Action

An attorney representing Priscilla and Garcia strongly denounced the allegations in a statement to the Daily Mail, saying that Brigitte Kruse, Kevin Fialko, and their associates "have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family," even after losing multiple motions and failing to disqualify her lawyer, Marty Singer.

The attorney noted that in a "completely improper effort to exert undue pressure on Presley to retract her legitimate, truthful claims, Kruse and her co-conspirators have also sued Presley's son, cousin, and assistant."

"These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case," the statement continued. "The conduct of Kruse, Fialko, and their new lawyers (they are on their fourth set of attorneys) is shameful, and it absolutely will be addressed in court."
