In the motion to dismiss that Presley filed on Tuesday, she simply said responded: “It is simply irrelevant whether Presley has relatives who live or own a home in Florida, or whether Presley has made a few personal visits to Florida.”
However, the 79-year-old called out Kruse again in her new motion, claiming: “Brigitte Kruse and her co-conspirator, Kevin Fialko, unlawfully influenced, persuaded and deceived Presley – who has lived in California for decades. to make Kruse a trusted advisor, trustee, and attorney, and to give Kruse and Fialko a majority and controlling interest in the rights to Presley’s name, image, and likeness (in perpetuity).”
The motion continued: “Kruse and Fialko absconded with hundreds of thousands of dollars, then preemptively sued Presley in Florida when they knew the gig was over.”
