Donna Presley Breaks Her Silence on Elvis, Priscilla & the Cheating Rumors
Timeless Tributes

She's sitting alone with a stack of old letters. Fan mail. The kind that used to arrive by the truckload, addressed to a man who belonged to millions of people before he ever really belonged to her. And she starts reading. One after another. Sweet, harmless things at first. And then one that isn't harmless at all. A woman's handwriting, thanking him for the best night of her life.
She said, years later, that this was the moment. Not a rumor. Not a tabloid headline she could dismiss as jealousy or lies. Her own husband's fan mail, sitting in her own house, telling her in plain handwriting what she'd spent years refusing to fully let herself see.
She's described thinking, in that moment, that it was getting worse. That he was living another life entirely, one she wasn't part of, one that ran parallel to the version of their marriage she showed the world. And she's said, more than once, that this was the thing that finally broke something in her. Not one affair. Not one trip to Vegas or one late night in Palm Springs. The slow, cumulative weight of realizing that the man she married had built an entire second existence, and she was the last one being let in on it.
That's Priscilla Presley's own account. Not something invented about her. Something she has said, in her own words, decades after the fact, sitting on a stage in front of an audience, finally willing to say out loud what she spent most of her life keeping soft and private.

One sentence stated, and I quote " I love you so much and want to come over there so bad, I know if you please ring my father, he will listen to you"...unquote. Anita said she was furious when she read the letter and confronted Elvis about it.
Priscilla kept harassing Elvis to death, pleading and begging to be bought to Graceland to live with him, continually. That's the truth, not what priscilla has dished up to the public for decades now.
Her lies never end. She was the predator and even the sexual aggressor.
I'm an Elvis fan big time but honestly, I have to say Elvis was an emotionally carless person and very foolish at times. He really fell into Priscilla Beaulieu's self-serving plan. Her parents knew full well that getting priscilla ensconced in his house and in his bed, would have Elvis obligated to marry her.
For Elvis that's exactly what Priscilla became for him, An obligation. She was never a real love for him, and that's why he didn't want to marry her. The marriage was forced upon him under threat of legal action for having a minor living in his house,.....And don't anyone reply back to me saying she was only 14, she wasn't. She was just a couple of months short of her 18th birthday when he caved into the pressure to bring her to Graceland.
Did he care about her?. ....of course he did, but he did NOT really love her.
It was Priscilla who kept that relationship going from 14 to 18 years of age, with endless letters and phone calls from Germany to him.
Priscilla was basically nothing more than a very successful and lucky groupie who latched on to an emotionally vulnerable man and wouldn't let go, even though the bloom had gone off the rose for him.
Poor Elvis he really was caught in a well-orchestrated trap by Priscilla and her permissive and greedy parents. Well, the parents, especially her conniving mother were the real architects behind the whole sordid saga.
Mi sembra altrettanto importante non mettere sullo stesso piano la versione di Elvis fatta dalla ex moglie con quella riportata da Donna. Quest'ultima è una Presley, fa parte della famiglia di Elvis cone parente di sangue e perciò, vicina e sincera ( questo ci si augura!) nel riportare racconti sul famoso cugino attraverso le memorie personali e degli altri membri della famiglia. I racconti che ne fa P.B non corrispondono , sono stati adattati a seconda del periodo e del proprio bisogno di passare alla storia come vittima di un uomo manipolatore e drogato.
Ma il povero Elvis era un uomo buono, troppo. È caduto dritto nella trappola senza rendersi conto appieno, se non troppo tardi, quando ormai si era compromesso........lui era eccessivamente fragile a livello emotivo ed ha rinunciato al suo vero amore (A.M) per assolvere un dovere . È stato lui ad essere raggirato e ne era consapevole, questo lo ha fatto soffrire nel matrimonio e nel divorzio.
Solo una mia opinione
