Priscilla Presley insists she didn’t have sex with Elvis at the age of 14

Priscilla Presley denies again that they and Elvis Presley were intimate when she was a minor — this amid a new movie shedding light on their relationship… controversy and all.

The late icon’s ex-wife took center stage at a press conference at the Venice Film Festival shortly before Monday Sofia CoppolaThe new film “Priscilla” was shown. During a question-and-answer session, Priscilla was asked a question directly…and she answered it directly.

Hear what she says about their relationship — which began by meeting Elvis at age 14 and him at age 24 — but at that point, Priscilla points out, hadn’t gone sexual.

She says what drew Elvis to her was the fact that she would listen to him and let him pour out his heart to her…something that led to them continuing to see each other after Elvis returned to Germany after a stint in had returned to the US, where they first linked.

Priscilla says the fact that he could confide in her and trust her was at the heart of their relationship — and while many might assume they were sleeping together at the time, she says that wasn’t true … and that Elvis she respected that fact when she was still a teenager.

Still…she has confessed in the past that Elvis would kiss her at that age – and even at 17, with her parents’ permission, she visited him for a sleepover.

With that bigger picture…many have criticized Elvis in hindsight, claiming he was a sneaky bloke for targeting a young girl – but Priscilla obviously has no regrets…even now calling him that love of her lifeand said she remained attracted to him even after their divorce.
