A recent high-profile lawsuit has thrown Hollywood into a whirlwind over claims involving Lisa Marie Presley, John Travolta, and his late wife, Kelly Preston. The shocking allegations suggest that Lisa Marie donated her eggs to help the couple conceive their son, Jett, leading to a series of revelations that have captivated the public.
According to the lawsuit, which also implicates Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, it is contended that both women assisted Travolta and Preston in their family planning efforts. An insider claimed that Lisa Marie, who was a close friend of Travolta, felt compelled to help the couple, who faced difficulties conceiving. The source even speculated on the significance of Jett’s name, noting that it was a homage to Elvis Presley’s love of jets.
Jett, born on April 13, 1992, tragically passed away in January 2009 after suffering a seizure during a family vacation. Years later, it is alleged that Lisa Marie offered further assistance to Travolta and Preston. However, her ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, later contested the arrangement, claiming that Travolta had a change of heart due to concerns over Lisa Marie’s past struggles with addiction.
The lawsuit also suggests that after declining Lisa Marie’s help, Travolta and Preston sought out Riley Keough as a new potential donor for their subsequent son, Ben, who was born in November 2010. Allegedly, the famous couple offered Riley an “old Jaguar” and up to $20,000 for her participation in the arrangement.
Further complicating the matter, the lawsuit portrays Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie’s mother, as having a role in facilitating the deal. Priscilla has faced a barrage of criticism lately, with her former business partners launching reciprocal claims against her, alleging financial impropriety and emotional distress stemming from her actions surrounding Lisa Marie’s death earlier this year.
Priscilla’s attorneys have rebuffed the allegations from Kruse and her business associate, labeling them as baseless and an exploitative attempt to capitalize on family tragedy. In a separate counterclaim, Priscilla accused the duo of stealing a substantial sum from her.
The ongoing legal battles come on the heels of a series of personal tragedies for the Presley family, including the losses of both Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin in recent years. As the court drama unfolds, it shines a light on the complex and often convoluted relationships within Hollywood’s elite, leaving fans invested in how these family dynamics will evolve amidst ongoing litigation.
