    A recent lawsuit has made some extreme claims surrounding the parentage of John Travolta's son.

    In the lawsuit, it is claimed that Priscilla Presley's granddaughter, Riley Keough, is the biological mother of Travolta's son Benjamin, 15, whom the Pulp Fiction star shares with his late wife Kelly Preston, who passed away in 2020 of breast cancer.

    The claim was filed in a suit by Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, the Naked Gun star's former business associates, against her and her son, Navarone Garcia, on Tuesday (December 16).

    Kruse and Fialko had previously accused Priscilla of 'pulling the plug' on her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley's, life support after she was admitted to hospital in 2023, allegations which the 80-year-old's lawyers called 'shameful, ridiculous, salacious, and meritless'.

    In the recent suit, it alleges that Michael Lockwood, who was Lisa Marie's ex-husband and father of her two youngest children, Finley and Harper Lockwood, supposedly said that the late singer's eldest daughter, actor Riley Keough, had given one of her eggs to Travolta and Kelly for up to $20,000 and an 'old Jaguar' car.

    The document alleged: "Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, and the father of Harper and Finley Lockwood approached Plaintiff Kruse, telling her that John Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, had been unable to bear her own children, and Travolta and Presley previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant."

    According to People, the filing further claims that Lockwood allegedly said he was 'financially destitute' as Kruse and Fialko attempted to 'manage the constant chaos'.

    It also never clarified if a child had ever produced from Lisa Marie's alleged egg donation, nor provided any evidence to back their claims.

    The suit then went on to further claim that Lockwood had said the Grease star allegedly said 'he no longer wanted to use Lisa Marie’s eggs because they did not want ‘eggs with heroin’ on them', and so 'they orchestrated a deal, where Riley Keough gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to their son, Ben Travolta'.

    Lawyers representing Priscilla have issued a response to the claims, calling them 'outrageous'.

    "Brigitte and her co-conspirators have demonstrated that there is no bar too low, no ethical line that they are unwilling to cross in an effort to cause further pain to Priscilla Presley and her family," they said. "These recent outrageous allegations have absolutely nothing to do with the claims in this case."

    They added that these allegations 'absolutely will be addressed in court'.

    When approached by the Daily Mail for comment, Lockwood denied knowledge of the claims he is alleged to have made, telling the outlet: "That just sounds crazy. I have not heard anything about it."

    Travolta and Preston had Benjamin back in 2010, just a year after their son, Jett Travolta, died after a seizure at the age of just 16.

    They called Benjamin's arrival a 'miracle', with Travolta telling People in 2011: “He's given the house a renewed spirit and a purpose."

    UNILAD has reached out to Travolta and Keough's representatives for comment.
