Lisa Marie Presley Said Michael Jackson Was Her 'Best Lay,' Roseanne Barr Claims

Lisa Marie Presley, the late daughter of Elvis Presley, once confided in her friend Roseanne Barr that Michael Jackson was the greatest lover she had ever experienced, according to Barr.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Barr, who was a close friend of Presley's, recounted a conversation where the topic of Presley's marriage to Jackson arose. When asked if Presley had spoken about her two-year union with Jackson, Barr stated, "She said he was the best lay she ever had."

Barr further elaborated, recalling Presley saying that Jackson "had it going on" and that he knew "all the things girls want to hear." Barr described Presley as an honest individual who was open about her relationships and the intimate details of her famous partners, including Nicolas Cage. She asserted that Jackson was Presley's "number one" lover.

Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie's mother, also previously discussed her daughter's marriage to Jackson. In her memoir, "Life After Elvis," Priscilla admitted her apprehension about the union. She questioned her daughter about the physical aspect of their relationship, to which Lisa Marie confirmed it was physical. Priscilla expressed skepticism about Jackson's intentions, writing that she believed he was marrying into the Presley dynasty for publicity rather than genuine affection, especially following child molestation accusations, which he denied.

Lisa Marie Presley herself wrote in her memoir, "From Here to the Great Unknown," that Jackson claimed to be a virgin when they began dating. She recalled him stating, "I'm not waiting!" when it came to initiating physical intimacy, despite her initial surprise and hope that they might wait until marriage.

The couple was married from May 1994 to April 1996. Michael Jackson died in 2009 at the age of 50 from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol. Lisa Marie Presley passed away in 2023 at the age of 54 due to a small bowel obstruction.
