Broken-hearted Priscilla Presley was on the verge of an emotional breakdown before Lisa Marie Presley’s death that had friends deeply concerned, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In 2020, sources revealed Priscilla was struggling to deal with both Lisa Marie’s past struggles with addiction and her nasty court battle with her ex-husband Michael Lockwood. In addition, she was left devastated by the suicide of her grandson, Benjamin Keough.
At the time, an insider said the one-time Dallas star had been rattled by not only her family issues but the global pandemic. “She’s so overwhelmed by everything,” a source said. “After Ben died, she seemed to crumble completely!”
Sources said Priscilla had locked herself in her room where she cried uncontrollably for hours at a time and had trouble keeping up with her daily routine.
“She’s a mess,” said a source. “She’s missing appointments. She forgets to check in on her mother, Ann, in assisted living, which was something she never failed to do before. She can’t remember anything.”
Following Ben’s death, Priscilla said, “Each day I wake up I pray it will get better.”
