Life has been far from calm for Priscilla Presley in the wake of a bombshell lawsuit surrounding her late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. At 80, she’s reportedly buckling under the emotional strain of accusations that she had a role in her daughter’s final moments. The shocking claims have left her shaken, but she hasn’t been facing them alone.
Priscilla has found comfort in none other than Welsh music legend Tom Jones. The 85-year-old crooner, a longtime family friend, has reportedly become her most trusted source of support during this storm. Jones isn’t just any friend. He was close to Elvis Presley, making his bond with Priscilla stretch back decades.
Insiders say he’s taken it upon himself to look out for her now. He’s checking in regularly and even sending flowers in hopes of lifting her spirits. For Priscilla, who has been described as “in pieces” since the lawsuit began, Jones has been a steady hand reminding her she’s not alone.
“This has been an absolutely dreadful time and everyone has been so worried about her,” says the Globe source.
“Since they have such a long history, Tom saw firsthand what a loving and devoted mom she was to Lisa,” adds the source. “It’s sickening that she’d be accused of something so awful.”
While the two have long denied rumors of romance, their connection has fueled speculation for years. Their closeness only grew after Tom’s wife Linda passed away in 2016. Despite the occasional swirl of gossip, both insist their relationship is rooted in friendship. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from raising their eyebrows.
Tom Jones And Priscilla Presley’s Friendship Goes Way Back
The lawsuit alleges Priscilla had a hand in “pulling the plug” on Lisa Marie in order to take control of Elvis’ trust. It’s an accusation that insiders insist is not only false but cruel. Lisa Marie, 54, died in January 2023 after suffering cardiac arrest. Her cause of death was later revealed to be a small bowel obstruction related to bariatric surgery.
Friends say Tom has been vocal in reminding Priscilla that she was a devoted mother and doesn’t deserve the weight of such claims. With Riley Keough and other loved ones also standing firmly by her side, she’s leaning heavily on the strength of her inner circle.
Through the chaos, Tom Jones has reportedly assured Priscilla that he’ll be there for her in any way she needs. Whether that means offering kind words, testifying on her behalf. Or simply being a voice on the other end of the phone when the stress becomes too much.
And honestly? If anyone knows how to stand tall through scandal, it’s Tom Jones. Having him in her corner may be the one thing keeping Priscilla Presley steady as the walls close in.
