Priscilla Presley’s Lesser-Known Son Responds to Fan’s Claim He Spoke ‘Poorly’ of Late Sister Lisa Marie
Priscilla Presley's son Navarone Garcia slams critics who claim he speaks poorly of his late sister Lisa Marie. He responded to their accusations on Instagram, where he decided to defend himself.
Navarone Garcia, Priscilla Presley's son, is the first to admit that things weren't always smooth sailing between him and his sister, Lisa Marie. When Lisa Marie died in January, he wrote about their complicated relationship on Instagram.
In his tribute, he wished his big sister was at peace with his dad, Elvis Presley, and her son, Benjamin Keough. He added that he knew of his sister's difficulties in the past years as well.
"I wish things had been different between us. Regardless, you are my sister," he wrote at one point.
When a decision on Lisa Marie's estate came out, Navarone was listed as 1/9 of those to be granted a part of the trust. This fact was made public after Priscilla and her granddaughter, Riley Keough, reached an agreement over Lisa Marie's estate.
Earlier this month, Navarone came out with an interview where he spoke about Lisa Marie and her hatred towards Navarone's dad while he and Priscilla were together. He then talked about the time Lisa Marie and his father, Marco Garibaldi, met again in 2017.
At a barbecue Navarone hosted, Marco and Lisa Marie allegedly conspired to do something together. While Navarone refused to say what it was they were doing together, he didn't agree to it and warned his dad that if he continued, they'd no longer talk to one another.
Some fans felt Navarone was painting his late sister in a bad light. In his recent Instagram post, one user slammed him for speaking "poorly" of his sibling.
The user asked whether he doesn't feel bad for speaking a certain way about his sibling so soon after their death. "I suspect they had good intentions with you," the person added.
"You obviously suspect incorrect things," he said in a lengthy reply to a commenter. Navarone added that he wasn't about to change the way he felt about a person just because they'd passed away.

The user then acknowledged that Navarone was right. However, they hoped he'd one day learn to forgive his siblings. "It's a journey to get there, but it will help you live a better life," the person ended their comment.
Navarone then responded that he had nothing but good things to say about all of his nieces, to which another person clarified that the first user was talking about his siblings and not his nieces. Navarone has yet to comment further.
Ultimately, Navarone admitted that he was grieving. He added that his ways of coping might be different, which is why people seem to misinterpret it.
