sued four of her ex-business associates, including Brigitte Kruse, last week. She claimed they stole over $1 million from her and accused them of financial elder abuse.
Kruse responded to Presley’s claims via her legal team in a statement to PEOPLE on Monday.“The suit filed is a retaliatory lawsuit due to the one filed by Priscilla’s business partners last year,” the statement read. “We are confident that the facts will speak for themselves and justice will prevail.”“It saddens all of us who dropped our lives to provide aid to a woman who needed help and she is now attempting to use her celebrity status to ruin the lives of kind, hardworking people,” it continued.
Kruse concluded, “We will continue to focus on our business and look forward to our day in court. The truth will come out by way of evidence and not rumors.
There will be no further comment at this time as we respect the judicial process.”In court documents obtained by TMZ, Elvis Presley’s ex-wife sued Kruse, Kevin Fialko, Vahe Sislyan, and Lynn Walker Wright on Thursday in a suit including 12 different complaints.Presley, who is being represented by Hollywood attorney Marty Singer, alleged that the foursome “meticulously planned” a scheme against “an older woman by gaining her trust, isolating her from the most important people in her life, and duping her into believing that they would take care of her.”She said they allegedly planned to steal all of her money by having her “sign contracts” to receive 80% of her income.
