Riley Keough Opens Up About Mom Lisa Marie Presley's Marriage To Michael Jackson
HuffPost
The "Daisy Jones & the Six" actor shared how the King of Pop's lavish lifestyle influenced her late mother's approach to fame and family.
Riley Keough is sharing a few candid thoughts about about her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s marriage to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Appearing Tuesday on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Keough took a look back on the two years she and her late brother, Benjamin Keough, had Jackson as their stepfather.
“Our life wasn’t crazier because that was already there. That already existed, like the press and the crazy, the paparazzi and, you know, all that,” she explained. “But ... I think when [Lisa Marie Presley] saw Michael’s life, there were things that he had that she didn’t have. She didn’t have a plane at the time, or things like that.”
“So she then was like, ‘Oh, I should have a plane, and I should have this and that,’ and so our life in that way kind of got bigger,” she added. “Before that, she was with my dad, and their life was very simple ... she didn’t have 10 million assistants. She didn’t need all of that, and I think that changed.”
Lisa Marie Presley married Jackson on May 26, 1994, less than a year after splitting from Keough’s father, Danny Keough, after about six years of marriage.
