In her shocking new memoir, Priscilla Presley reveals a deadly truth she concealed from Elvis Presley that might have resulted in fatalities. The 80-year-old describes how, while always fearing the reaction of her unstable ex-husband, she had a covert affair with Robert Kardashian, the future patriarch of America’s most well-known reality TV family.

Elvis Presley’s 2AM call

The horrific night when a single phone call almost wrecked the meticulous illusion she had maintained is chronicled in her upcoming book, “Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis,” which will be available on bookstores on Tuesday, September 23. Intimate information about her relationships after the divorce and the real fear that guided her love decisions are revealed in the 320-page memoir.

After divorcing Elvis Presley in 1973, Priscilla Presley began dating Robert Kardashian. The mother of two described in her recent biography how she was in bed with her new lover at two in the morning when her ex-husband called.

Elvis was not aware of it

If Priscilla had known that Kardashian was in her bedroom, Elvis would have “gone ballistic,” she wrote.

It probably hadn’t “crossed his mind” that she may be asleep, Priscilla said, despite the late hour. “It had certainly never occurred to him that I might be with another man,” she said.

He still couldn’t comprehend that I was seeing someone else, even after our divorce. If he had realized Robert was in my bedroom, he might have actually gone crazy. Priscilla continued by saying, “Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.”

Priscilla Presley was sleeping with Robert Kardashian

The most terrifying incident in Priscilla’s covert affair happened when she was trapped in an awkward circumstance by an unexpected phone call in the middle of the night. Elvis’ unexpected call at two in the morning compelled her to make a life-or-death performance that demanded quick thinking when she was sharing private moments with Robert Kardashian.

While Kardashian remained totally unconscious and oblivious to the fact that his life was in the balance only feet away, Priscilla recounts frantically jumping out of bed. As Elvis excitedly recapped his most recent musical performance, stating that he had been putting fans to sleep that night, she controlled the risky topic.
