Priscilla Presley is accusing her former business associates of financial elder abuse.

Lawyers for Presley, 79, filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday, alleging the people behind an LLC established in her name “fraudulently” coerced her into “giving them power of attorney, control over her family and personal trusts and control over her bank accounts” over two years.

In a filing obtained by USA TODAY, she claims the managers of Priscilla Presley Partners, LLC, worked with others to misappropriate more than $1 million of her funds.

The actress, author and ex-wife of Elvis Presley accuses her former associates, auction house founder Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, of conspiring to “prey on 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 (personally and financially), while their real goal was to drain her of every last penny she had,” per the lawsuit.

The filing alleges that the defendants commandeered Presley’s control over her finances, “forcing her into a form of indentured servitude, where Plaintiff was forced to work so that they could receive the lion’s share of any revenue that she was able to earn in the future.”
