For the first time, RadarOnline.com has opened the door on the depths of depravity that have led Lisa Marie to be repeatedly forced into rehab, squander her father’s multimillion-dollar fortune and be dragged through another toxic divorce! Meanwhile, concerned friends and family were left to fear she was just one fix away from a fatal overdose. “It is a miracle Lisa Marie is still alive,” a confidant told RadarOnline.com.
In our explosive report, RadarOnline.com can reveal the 51-year-old mother of four would hide in her locked bedroom amid piles of drugs, food and trash while ignoring her personal hygiene. According to her ex-husband Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie would snort so much cocaine she would stay awake for 11 days straight, while enhancing her mind-bending high with a cocktail of prescription pills — popping up to 80 opioids every day — combined with liquor. Lockwood made the bombshell allegations in sealed court documents exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com.
When she’s high, according to the documents, Lisa Marie admitted to hallucinations and visions of cocaine flying toward her like shards of broken glass. On another occasion, she became convinced bugs were attacking her and crawling over her bed. A live-in nanny during Lisa Marie’s period of heavy drug use between 2014 and 2016 said, according to the eye-popping documents: “Lisa Marie stayed in her room most of the time either sleeping, watching TV or on the computer. If she were to come out of her room it was usually in a disheveled state.” A second live-in nanny said the only times Lisa Marie would leave her room was to eat.
While in her warped state, Lockwood claimed in court documents he waited on her hand and foot, cooking her meals and brushing her hair, while nannies looked after their 10-year-old twin daughters, Harper and Finley. The world exclusive photos obtained by RadarOnline.com were taken in 2016 inside the master bathroom of Lisa Marie’s family home in Franklin, Tenn. They show Lisa Marie’s “drug den,” an apparent stockpile of addictive painkillers and pills that are deadly if mixed with alcohol and drugs — which is exactly what Lisa Marie was doing as alleged in the court filings.
The stash carried labels from five different pharmacies in Westlake Village and Beverly Hills in California, Franklin and Brentwood in Tennessee, and New York City. A source told RadarOnline.com Lisa Marie is believed to have sent her assistants out to fill her multiple prescriptions — often written by “croakers” or corrupt doctors. The Tennessee mansion — 200 miles from the hallowed ground of Elvis’ mansion, Graceland, where Lisa Marie spent her childhood — was strewn with bottles of the drugs RadarOnline.com's source saw her use. Among them was oxycodone — the most abused prescription medication due to its heroin-like effects and addictive quality — labeled with the name “Lisa Presley.” Other bottles are labeled “Lisa Beaulieu,” and yet more are under alleged pseudonyms. Lisa Marie would also apparently binge on Valium and diazepam, according to the source, used as muscle relaxants and anti-anxiety medicine, as well as the painkiller Vicodin, and hydrocodone syrup, which works as a narcotic painkiller when abused.
A tortured Lisa Marie herself admitted in a 2017 deposition she was “abusing cocaine terribly” in 2015 as well as being a heavy user of opioids, painkillers and alcohol. She also admitted she had been so whacked out she couldn’t even remember how many times she had been to rehab, saying it was three, four or five times. However, RadarOnline.com's photos show the chilling extent of her substance addiction with 29 bottles — some filled, some empty — stashed in a suitcase laying on the ground.
A plate of junk food is seen on a messy cabinet next to a sink, where beauty products are stacked. Alongside it rests an open bottle of tequila and wipes typically used with kids — although it’s possible Lisa Marie would need them after she snorted cocaine. Bombshell documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal the drug confessions Lisa Marie made in interviews as part of a child services investigation during her divorce from Lockwood. While she denied ever doing drugs in front of the girls, Lisa Marie admitted she “had a serious substance abuse problem that started around 2012,” documents reveal. The report notes Lisa Marie said that from October 2015 until June 2016 she was “using a significant amount of drugs and staying in bed a lot.” She also confessed “she started using cocaine to counteract the effect of the pills,” and as a result, she admitted she would “go for days without sleeping.”
After moving from Tennessee to California in June 2016, Lisa Marie was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center “due to medical problems related to substance abuse.” Upon being discharged, she entered a rehab treatment facility and her mother, Priscilla, took temporary custody of the children, documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal. A source who shared time at the facility with the pill-popping beauty said Lisa Marie confessed the failure of her marriage drove her into despair and into treatment, which also offered psychological and behavioral counseling to beat her addictions.
She told a patient in June that year she had “collapsed,” adding, “I f**king broke and I broke hard.” Adding to her stress, it later emerged that she’d accused Lockwood of taking inappropriate pictures of their children and she’d rigged a camera system to catch him attempting to abuse them — allegations that later formed the basis of their bitter child custody case. In that court battle, Lockwood counter-accused Lisa Marie of being so out of it on drugs she had no idea what she was doing and of also being sexually inappropriate with their daughters. An investigation launched by Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services concluded neither parent was guilty of any crime and the case was dismissed, but Lisa Marie is understood to have appealed and a new case is ongoing.

A source said Lisa Marie now claims she’s been sober for two years, and in July 2017 she “expressed regret that her drug use interfered with her being a good mother … because she was in bed a lot and not fully functioning,” according to records of her testimony. Lisa Marie’s development of a substance addiction in her 40s confused many in her inner circle, including her daughter from her first marriage, Riley Keough, 29, who said: “She had always been anti-drugs and into holistic medicine” and Lockwood didn’t “seem to want to help her get sober.”
The drug-addled star has rarely been seen in public recently and was last pictured bloated and needing help to her car as she stumbled out of a medical facility in January. But sources fear Lisa Marie will always be at risk of relapsing because she’s surrounded by enablers and has gone to great lengths to hide her drug abuse from perhaps the only person who could save her — her mother.
“Priscilla had no idea about all this,” said a source. “There is a lot of license with celebrities and pills. Lisa Marie would say she didn’t want her name on prescriptions because she’s famous. She would use her assistant, her security guy, whoever. “Celebrities can bend the rules, use different names and different doctors and now she’s in Hollywood, the U.S. capital for medical corruption. Just look at what happened to Michael Jackson!”
