Priscilla Presley has denied bombshell claims suggesting that her granddaughter, Riley Keough, donated her eggs to help John Travolta and his late wife conceive their son.
The shocking claim involving the King of Rock and Roll's family was filed as part of a lawsuit against Priscilla by her former associates, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko.
Kruse and Fialko have accused Priscilla of fraud in the inducement, breach of contract, conversion, misappropriation of name and likeness, and intentional interference with contract and prospective economic advantage.
Kruse and Fialko allege that Keough had donated her eggs to Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, who later used them to welcome their son, Benjamin, now 15, according to PEOPLE.

The claim references a fallout in the family following the death of Keough's mum, Lisa Marie Presley, in 2023, alleging that Lisa Marie's ex-husband Michael Lockwood told Kruse that Keough had exchanged her eggs for an old Jaguar car and $20,000 (£14,960) as Preston was 'unable to bear her own children'.
She alleged that Travolta approached the family a year after the death of his son Jett in 2010 and orchestrated a deal for Keough's eggs, which resulted in the birth of 15-year-old Benjamin.
It was alleged that Travolta and Preston had previously used eggs donated by Lisa Marie, however, it's not clear if they produced a child.
Priscilla has now slammed the allegations, calling them 'shameful and untrue'.

In a statement provided to E! News, Priscilla's attorneys stated that Kruse and her co-conspirators had 'demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family'.
"These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case," the statement continued, adding that they will be addressed in court.
Keough has also shared a joint statement with her grandmother, slamming the claims as 'deeply hurtful'.
"We are aware of the latest allegations from Brigitte Kruse. These claims are not only untrue but also deeply hurtful," a representative for the family told PEOPLE.

"Our family is, and always has been, united in love and respect for one another," the statement continued.
"Our shared priority remains honoring Lisa Marie’s memory and protecting Elvis’ legacy with dignity. We will not allow outside voices to divide us or to diminish the strength of our bond as a family."
Meanwhile, Lockwood, who is the father of Lisa Marie's twin daughters, has also denied knowledge of the claims, telling the MailOnline when approached for comment: "That just sounds crazy. I have not heard anything about it."
