Shrink Tells All: Daddy Issues To Blame For Presley's 'Desperate' Need To 'Save' Men
Feb. 20 2017, Updated 11:09 a.m. ET
Lisa Marie Presley desperately tries to save men that remind her of Elvis, a top doc exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com!
"To say Lisa Marie has 'Daddy issues' is a vast understatement," Dr. Carole Lieberman, who has not treated Presley, said. "But, then what little girl wouldn't go through the childhood phase of wanting to marry her daddy in a very over-stimulated way, if her dad was a man adulated by women all around the world?"
"She was 9 years old when Elvis died, and this sudden abandonment by the man she adored – her hero, her idol – sent her on a desperate search for his replacement," the shrink explained.
"Danny Keogh looked like Elvis. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, as Elvis was the King of Rock," she said of Presley's exes. "Nicolas Cage was an obsessive Elvis fan. And Michael Lockwood was a guitarist, music producer and director."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, her relationships have been far from perfect.
Jackson and Presley tied the knot in 1994 — just as the child molestation accusations against him began to explode. The couple divorced in 1996, and Presley, 49, married Lockwood, 55, ten years later.
Sheclaims she discovered "disturbing photos of videos of children" on his computer earlier this year, and now their 8-year-old twins are in the custody of social services.
Lockwood allegedly ran Presley's bank accounts dry, and she was forced moved in with her adult daughter Riley Keough as a result.
"Lisa Marie has admitted she was trying to save Michael Jackson, after he was in trouble for his pedophilia," Lieberman added. "Unconsciously, she was trying to save her dad - not just from his attraction to inappropriate sexual partners, but also from drugs and alcohol."
"Despite his image, her father was insecure about his manhood and sexuality, leading him date young girls - many no older than 15 - which was illegal," she explained. "In fact, Lisa Marie's mother was only 14 when she started dating Elvis."
Presley also claimed she was abused by one of her famous father's friends in a bombshell confession.
"It was clearly devastating to Lisa Marie to discover Michael Lockwood's pornography - and it would be even more devastating if investigators find photos of their daughters amongst his collection," Lieberman concluded.
Dr. Carole Lieberman is a Beverly Hills psychiatrist and author of Bad Boys.
