According to the memoir, Priscilla faces her daughter about the nature of her relationship with Michael Jackson.
“I asked her if she had a physical relationship,” she wrote. “Like many people, I’m not sure. What she said is.”

Priscilla added: “When Lisa Marie filed for divorce in 1996, I could almost hear Elvis sigh.”
Gently, when I leave you: Life after Elvis will be released later this year.
