Priscilla Presley has denied Bam Margera’s claims that she gave him personal items that once belonged to her late ex-husband Elvis Presley in a harsh statement.
After Margera, 43, claimed to have received Elvis’ robe and ring from his ex, 77, during a recent meeting, Priscilla issued a statement that quashed his claims to TMZ.
Presley insists that the ring Bam claimed was given to him was actually his and the robe was not Elvis’s.
She also said that she and her son Navarone Garcia, a friend of Margera’s, wish no further communication with him.
Priscilla claims her son Navarone invited Bam to visit, but she didn’t know who his friend was “or that he would later post photos and fake stories,” although Margera has now apologized on Instagram.
Shoot down: Priscilla Presley has denied Bam Margera’s claims that she gave him personal items that once belonged to Elvis Presley during a recent meeting, in a glowing statement
According to Priscilla, “Bam stopped by, talked incessantly about his new ventures and personal struggles, and asked for a photo with me for his father, who is a huge fan.”
“Unknown to us at the time, Bam chose to circulate these photos accompanied by false information and storytelling. Based on what Bam has decided, my son and I do not want any further communication with him. I consider him a dishonest and unstable person. I had no idea who he was or that he was filming at my house without my consent.”
When Priscilla denied giving Bam items that once belonged to the King Of Rock ‘N’ Roll, she insisted she would never “respect” the “love of my life” by giving up his items.
“At no point during the visit did I give him anything from Elvis.” I still have everything he ever touched. I would never disrespect Elvis, who was the love of my life, by giving something that was his. I always protected them for the fans. Elvis was yours all and I treasure my life with him too much to ever waste anything,” she said.
After Priscilla refused to give him items belonging to Elvis, Margera took to Instagram to apologize to both her and Navarone.
“I want to apologize to @priscillapresley and Navarone Presley for my behavior. I’m very sorry and embarrassed and I can’t apologize enough for acting like an idiot,” Margera said.
“Navarone gave me a robe and a ring that I gave to Phil to be part of Phil’s Elvis stuff,” Margera added, although it didn’t belong to Elvis.
“I’m making Navarone a $10,000 Heartagram Necklace because I love his band @themguns and hope to record them and go on tour. I’m sorry,” Margera concluded.
Bam’s struggles with sobriety are well documented, and Prisiclla said she hopes he “gets the help he needs and does the right thing.”
According to TMZ, Bam gave the robe to his father and the ring to Yelawolf, a rapper whom Bam believes is the new king of rock ‘n’ roll.
Bam posted snaps from the field trip meeting 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 alongside her son Navarone Garcia’s boyfriend as they sat side by side in a gray alcove.
A second picture showed the late King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s former wife appearing to be showing off her photos of his five-year-old daughter, Phoenix Wolf Margera.
Apology: After Priscilla refused to give him items belonging to Elvis, Margera took to Instagram to apologize to both her and Navarone Elvis stuff: “Navarone gave me a robe and a ring which I gave to Phil given to be a part of Phil’s Elvis stuff. Margera added, although not owned by Elvis Necklace, “I’m making Navarone a $10,000 Heartagram Necklace because I love his band @themguns and hope to record them and take them on tour.” I’m sorry,” Margera concluded. “I would never disrespect Elvis.” Presley insisted that she never gave Margera any of Elvis’ possessions
During their meal together, 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 with Priscilla’s son Navarone last Monday.
According to TMZ, the star is “actually friends” with Lisa Marie’s half-brother, Navarone, 35, who recently professed to be getting clean from hard drugs and opioids in 2020.
Earlier this month, Steve-O heartbreakingly wrote on Instagram that he’s preparing for the death of his co-star Jacka**.
Margera, who has had a roller coaster history of addiction, is currently on tour supporting Steve-O.
But an Instagram exchange between the pair revealed the cracks in their relationship, as Steve-O accused Margera of falling off the wagon, declaring: “You’re dying bro and it sucks there’s nothing I can do about you to rescue. ‘
The back-and-forth began when Margera posted a snap of herself sandwiched between Steve-O and her Jacka** co-star Johnny Knoxville.

Knoxville has had a conflicted relationship lately with Margera, who sued him for wrongful termination from the 2021 film Jacka** Forever, but then dropped the case.
In the caption of his now-deleted Instagram throwback, Margera wrote, “One arm is a best friend that’s been holding me back all this time, another arm is a show-off. A professional creation thief. If Jeff Tremaine was in this photo, he would be too greedy to fit in.
Jeff Tremaine, a producer and co-creator of the Jackass franchise, filed a restraining order against Margera in 2021, accusing him of molestation.
Margera wrote in his new caption: “F*** jeff. Remember I tattooed this a long time ago Jeff? Because I knew who you were all along. @steveo much love and respect.’
Steve-O posted and then quickly deleted a lengthy comment revealing his heartbreaking reaction to his friend’s alleged behavior.
“Bam, last night you had your five year old son on stage at my show and you were blessed with a chance to spend another day or two with him – then as soon as you left my show you stayed up all night charged enough to think posting more despicable nonsense like this was a good idea,” he began.
“I hope you understand how awful this is. You say you want a relationship with your son, but your actions guarantee the exact opposite will happen.”
He shared, “I took you on tour with the hope that I could get you to see what’s 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 work of recovery.’
Family friend: Last week Margera uploaded two snaps with Priscilla’s son Navarone at a fun night out. Creepy: Earlier this month, Steve-O heartbreakingly wrote on Instagram that he was preparing for the death of his co-star Jacka**
He concluded, smugly: “I wish you could know how much I hated feeling prepared for the news of your death, but you make it clear I have no choice. You’re dying bro and it sucks there’s nothing I can do to save you.”
He deleted the comment but told TMZ he still means what he wrote, adding that he remains willing to help Margera sober if she means business.
He was located by Delray Beach authorities last June after he was reported missing from a nearby rehab facility.
At the time, the manager of the rehab facility discovered that the Viva La Bam star’s stay at the facility was ordered by a court, leading to police searching for him.
Margera was reportedly upset that he wasn’t receiving “special treatment” from the facility’s staff, prompting him to leave the facility, an outlet told the site.
Margera has a long-standing substance abuse problem, having to be hospitalized in 2019 to treat edema apparently caused by excessive drinking.
More recently, he started the latest Jacka** project for not complying with the terms set by the producers regarding his addiction issues.
They were reportedly concerned about his addiction issues and erratic behavior – for which he recently revealed he has manic bipolar disorder – but wanted him to be part of the project.
In order to remain a part of Jacka** Forever, sources said producers required Margera to sign a wellness agreement in which he agreed to continue taking his medication, blow regularly into a breathalyzer, stay sober, see a psychologist and routine medication exams.
