EXCLUSIVE: Finding Elvis dead at 9, Scientology ‘obedience therapy’ at 11, and ‘hostile relationship’ with mom Priscilla: Lisa Marie Presley’s former counselor reveals how trauma the King of Rock and Roll’s daughter suffered was too much to bear

Lisa Marie Presley was so traumatized by her father’s passing – and discovering his dead body at nine years old – that she spent the next 35 years trying to be ‘cured’ by Scientology, according to claims by her former counselor.
Karen De La Carriere, who was known as the ‘Queen of Scientology’, was a high-ranking member of the church for 35 years.
She says that Priscilla Presley, who had turned to Scientology to alleviate the grief of Elvis’s sudden death in 1977, used the church to help control her daughter’s behavioral problems.
As a result, Lisa Marie, who was just 11 years old at the time, and her mother endured a ‘hostile relationship’ and were in ‘mortal combat’ for the rest of their lives, claims De La Carriere.

This is a very sad story, but one heard before. Scientology is not the panacea it claims to be. And rather than helping people can make things worse than they already are, despite the purported cult’s claims to the contrary. Lisa Marie Presley may have given Scientology millions, but it did not do much good for her in the end.
