US EditionLawsuit Alleges Riley Keough Donor Eggs Produced John Travolta’s Son Ben
A $50 million complaint alleges Riley Keough donated eggs to John Travolta and Kelly Preston around 2010, involving claims of fraud, elder abuse, and Presley family trust disputes.
- A $50 million lawsuit filed this past week alleges Riley Keough donated eggs to John Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston, with Benjamin Travolta born in November 2010, according to PEOPLE and TMZ.
- Amid the estate fight over Lisa Marie Presley's holdings, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko sued Priscilla Presley for fraud and elder abuse amid breach of contract claims.
- According to the Dec. 16 filing, Michael Lockwood arranged the egg-donor deal in which Riley Keough was compensated with an old Jaguar and between $10,000 and $20,000, supported by a handwritten hotel note.
- Marty Singer, attorney for Priscilla Presley, denied the allegations as outrageous and shameful and vowed to challenge them in court, while representatives for John Travolta, Riley Keough, and Navarone Garcia did not respond to NBC News on Thursday.
- Plaintiffs say the fight grew after Lisa Marie Presley's death in January 2023 when family members clamored for control of the estate, and filings assert if true, Ben Travolta would be Elvis Presley's great-grandson, raising estate-control questions.
