Priscilla Presley has denied Bam Margera’s claims that she gifted him personal items that once belonged to her late ex-husband Elvis Presley in a blistering statement.
After Margera, 43, claimed to have received Elvis’ robe and ring from his ex, 77, at a recent get-together, Priscilla issued a statement shooting down his claims to TMZ.
Presley insists that the ring Bam claimed to have received was actually his, and that the mantle was not Elvis’s.
She also said that she and her son Navarone Garcia, a friend of Margera, do not want any further communication with him.
Priscilla claims her son Navarone invited Bam to visit, but she didn’t know who his friend was “or if he would later choose to post pictures and false stories.”

According to Priscilla, “Bam came over, talked non-stop about his new ventures and personal struggles, and asked for a picture with me for his dad, who’s a huge fan.”
“Unbeknownst to us at the time, Bam had chosen to circulate those photos, accompanied by false information and stories. After what Bam has chosen to do, my son and I do not want any further communication with him. I consider him a dishonest and unstable individual. I had no idea who he was or if he was filming in my house without my permission.”
When she denied giving Bam items that once belonged to the King Of Rock ‘N’ Roll, Priscilla insisted that she would never “disparage” the “love of my life” by parting with his items.
“At no point during the visit did I give him anything of Elvis.” I still have everything he ever touched. I would never disrespect Elvis, who was the love of my life, by giving away anything that belonged to him. I’ve always protected them from the fans. Elvis belonged to all of you and I cherish my life with him too much to ever squander anything,” she said.
Bam’s struggles with sobriety have been well documented, and Prisiclla said she hopes he “gets the help he needs and does what’s right.”
According to TMZ, Bam gave the robe to his father and the ring to Yelawolf, a rapper Bam believes is the new king of rock and roll.
Bam posted snaps from the outing last week, less than a month after the death of Priscilla’s daughter Lisa Marie.
In a selfie from the gathering, uploaded to Margera’s Instagram, Priscilla posed next to her son’s boyfriend Navarone Garcia as they sat next to each other in a gray-strewn booth.
A second photo showed the former wife of the late King of Rock ‘n’ Roll seemingly showing her photos of his five-year-old daughter, Phoenix Wolf Margera.

During their shared meal, Priscilla wore a white jacket with a silver zipper and minimal makeup.
Margera wore his hood over his head, a blue T-shirt and a gold key around his neck.
Margera also uploaded two snaps last Monday with Priscilla’s son Navarone on a fun night out.
According to TMZ, the star is “actually friends” with Lisa Marie’s half-brother Navarone, 35, who recently opened up about kicking hard drug and opioid addiction in 2020.
Earlier this month, Steve-O wrote heartbreakingly on Instagram that he was bracing for the death of his Jacka** co-star.
Margera, who has had a roller coaster history of addiction, is currently opening for Steve-O on tour.
But an Instagram exchange between the two revealed the cracks in their relationship, with Steve-O accusing Margera of falling off the wagon and declaring, “You’re dying, brother, and it sucks that there’s nothing I can do to help you.” to rescue. ‘
The back and forth started when Margera posted a throwback snap of herself sandwiched between Steve-O and their Jacka** co-star Johnny Knoxville.

Knoxville has been in a fractious relationship lately with Margera, who sued him for wrongful termination of the 2021 movie Jacka** Forever, but then dropped the case.
In the caption of his since-deleted Instagram throwback, Margera wrote, “One arm is a best friend who always had my back, another arm is a poser. A pro-creation thief. If Jeff Tremaine were in this picture, he’d be too greedy to pass.”
Jeff Tremaine, a producer and co-creator of the Jackass franchise, filed a restraining order against Margera in 2021, accusing him of harassment.
Margera wrote in his new caption, “F*** jeff. Remember when I got that tattooed on me a long time ago, Jeff? It’s because I knew who you were all along. @steveo much love and respect.’
Steve-O quickly posted and deleted a lengthy comment revealing his heartbreaking response to his friend’s alleged behavior.
“Bam, last night you had your five-year-old son with you on stage at my show, and you were blessed with the chance to spend another day or two with him — and once you left my show, you stayed up all night charged enough to think it was a good idea to post more of this vile nonsense,” he began.
“I hope you understand how bad that is. You say you want a relationship with your son, but your actions guarantee that the exact opposite will happen.’
He shared, “I have taken you on tour in the hopes that I can show you what is possible for you if you choose recovery. I’ve tried everything I can, but I can’t force you to be honest and do the repair work.’

Crushingly, he concluded, “I wish you knew how much I hated bracing myself for the news of your death, but you make it clear I have no other choice. You’re dying brother, and it sucks I can’t do anything to save you.’
He deleted the comment, but told TMZ that he still believes what he wrote, adding that he’s open to helping Margera get sober if she takes it seriously.
Last June, he was located by authorities in Delray Beach after being reported missing at a nearby rehab center.
At the time, the rehab’s manager noted that the Viva La Bam star’s stay at the facility had been ordered by a court, which led police to search for him.
Margera was reportedly annoyed that he wasn’t receiving “special treatment” from the facility’s staff, prompting him to leave, an insider told the outlet.
Margera has a long history of substance abuse issues, as he had to be hospitalized in 2019 to treat an edema apparently caused by excessive drinking.
More recently, he kicked off the latest Jacka** project for failing to meet the conditions set by the producers regarding his addiction issues.
They were reportedly concerned about his addiction issues and erratic behavior — for which he recently explained he suffers from manic bipolar disorder — but wanted him to be a part of the project.
To remain part of Jacka** Forever, sources said the producers required Margera to sign a Wellness Agreement agreeing to continue taking his medication, regularly blowing into a breathalyzer, staying sober, seeing a psychologist and routine drug use. to test.
