John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, had three children, including their youngest son, Benjamin. Recent legal allegations have emerged suggesting that Benjamin may not be their biological child, but rather linked to Priscilla Presley’s granddaughter, Riley Keough. This surprising claim was made in the context of a lawsuit brought by Brigitte Kruse against Priscilla Presley.
Brigitte Kruse, a former associate of Priscilla, is suing her son Navarone Garcia for breach of contract. Intriguingly, new documents submitted in this case assert that John Travolta and Kelly Preston allegedly used eggs from Riley Keough to conceive Benjamin. Kruse claims that Michael Lockwood, ex-husband of Lisa Marie Presley, informed her that Kelly was unable to have children on her own.
The controversy deepens with Kruse’s assertion that the Travoltas initially used Lisa Marie’s eggs but later opted out due to concerns about the implications of using “eggs with heroin” on them. She alleges that a deal was eventually made for Riley to provide her eggs for the Travoltas, reportedly in exchange for an old Jaguar and a payment between $10,000 and $20,000.
Adding to the drama, Kruse disclosed that Lockwood expressed severe financial hardship, resorting to eating “dog food,” and purportedly aimed to leverage this information about Travolta for a settlement. Additionally, Kruse’s notes included references such as “Ben Travolta” and mentions of Kelly carrying a baby, alongside a text conversation that seemingly identifies Benjamin as Priscilla’s “beautiful great-grandson.”
In response to these allegations, Priscilla Presley’s attorneys, Marty Singer and Wayne Harman, condemned the actions of Kruse and her associates, describing them as unethical and malicious. They clarified that Kruse’s claims do not pertain to the original case and emphasized that such allegations only serve to increase distress for Priscilla and her family.
The legal representatives pointed out that Kruse and her team have switched attorneys multiple times, hinting at a troubled legal strategy. They argued that such tactics undermine the integrity of the case and will be appropriately addressed in court.
Jordan Matthews from Holtz Matthews LLP echoed these sentiments, stating that Kruse and her co-plaintiff, Kevin Fialko, were devastated by the need to file the amended complaint. He contended that the accusations against them are baseless and intended to distract from the actual issues at hand.
As these developments unfold, the public is left to ponder the implications of this revelation regarding Benjamin’s parentage. The ongoing legal battle continues to attract attention, raising questions about family dynamics and public perceptions of celebrity lives.
