Riley Keough reportedly branded Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband, Michael Lockwood, a money-grabber after he launched a new court battle.
After dealing with Graceland and Lisa Marie's estate issues, Riley began dealing with Michael after he claimed his attorneys helped prevent Priscilla Presley from seizing the estate in 2023. He is now seeking $153,000 in legal fees.
"From the outset, Michael and his counsel played a central role in helping keep the parties focused on resolving those issues with minimal court intervention," his petition, shared by RadarOnline.com, stated. "Michael was able to achieve his goal of ensuring the court issues were all resolved effectively and cost efficiently so Finley and Harper would have the financial resources their mother intended."
Lisa Marie and Michael split in 2016 after a ten-year marriage and divorced in 2021. They shared their twins, Harper and Finley.
A source told RadarOnline.com that Riley despises his former stepfather as she refuses to give him what he demands.
"Riley saw what Michael put her mother through with their nasty court fight all those years and believes he was just a moneygrubber," a pal disclosed. "Now she feels like he's just doing the same thing to her!"
Still, the insiders noted that Riley adores her stepsisters and looks after them financially.
According to one of the insiders, the Daisy Jones & The Six star plans to face Michael in court over the petition in the summer while taking care of her sisters.
The new filing came after Riley wrapped up the legal battle over Graceland after the Naussany Investments and Private Lending attempted to sell Elvis Presley's former home in a foreclosure sale.
It followed the $3.8 million loan the lending company said Lisa Marie took out in 2018. The late singer reportedly used Graceland as collateral and never repaid the loan.
In response to the sale attempt, Riley filed a lawsuit against the company in May and claimed it was a fraudulent move. She also alleged the signature on the loan documents was forged.
A Tennessee judge later temporarily blocked the company from selling Graceland before Naussany Investments and Private Lending said it would drop the claim.
Riley became the sole trustee of the Memphis estate following Lisa Marie's death.
