Riley Keough on ex-stepfather Michael Jackson’s allegations
Riley Keough “never” knew it as a child.
Riley opened up about her childhood experiences and reminiscences of her former stepfather, Michael Jackson, throughout her look on the Name Her Daddy podcast.
The 35-year-old actress, who’s the granddaughter of the legendary Elvis Presley and daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley, spoke with host Alex Cooper about her distinctive upbringing and her mom’s marriage to Jackson.
When requested if any adults had expressed concern about her spending time with Michael, particularly given the allegations of kid sexual abuse that surfaced a yr earlier than his marriage to Lisa Marie in 1994, Keough responded, “I was never told anything. And it’s actually not something I ever asked as an adult.”
Riley emphasised that her dad and mom, Lisa Marie and Danny Keough, maintained a coverage of defending their kids from grownup conflicts and discussions.
“We didn’t know anything,” she reiterated. “We didn’t know about any allegations. We didn’t know. We had no awareness of that.”
Lisa Marie’s marriage to Michael, which lasted from 1994 to 1996, was a major a part of Keough’s formative years.
Trying again, Keough stated, “The one thing I know is that they were in love, and that their love for one another was genuine.” When requested in regards to the allegations Jackson confronted within the years after their marriage, she merely said, “I don’t know, because I wasn’t there.”
