Event Summary

A bombshell lawsuit filed by Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, former business partners of Priscilla Presley, alleges that Riley Keough is the biological mother of John Travolta and Kelly Preston's youngest son, Ben. The lawsuit claims that Riley Keough donated her eggs to John Travolta and Kelly Preston for a payment of $10,000-$20,000 and a Jaguar. These allegations are part of an amended $50 million breach of contract lawsuit against Navarone Garibaldi, Priscilla Presley's son. Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband, is cited as the source of this information, reportedly seeking a settlement using this secret. Priscilla Presley's attorney, Martin Singer, has vehemently denied these claims, calling them outrageous and shameful, and asserting they are unrelated to the core legal dispute.
