Priscilla Presley is opening up about the many cease-and-desist letters that Las Vegas chapels have received about using Elvis’ image. And according to her, she has nothing to do with it. <\/p>\n

Speaking with TMZ, the rockstar’s former wife explained that she hadn’t heard about the situation and had \u201cno idea\u201d Elvis’ name was apparently being stripped from weddings in the city. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat has nothing to do with me,\u201d she explained in a video shared by the publication. <\/p>\n

Of course, this past week, the Las Vegas Review-Journal <\/em>reported that Vegas chapels had begun getting the letters regarding using Elvis’ name and likeness for unauthorized events. The letters were issued by Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which said it is now seeking licensing agreements with the chapels \u2014 including Elvis Chapel, Viva Las Vegas \/ Vegas Weddings, the and Las Vegas Elvis Chapel \u2014 and threatened to take legal action within a week if demands were not met. <\/p>\n

“As the guardians of the Elvis Presley estate, it is our responsibility to safeguard his legacy,” ABG said in a statement to CNN. “This includes ensuring that all products, services, and advertisements utilizing Elvis’ name, image, or likeness are officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises\u2026 The estate has strong relationships with official Elvis tribute artists, fan clubs, and festivals, as well as a robust global network of licensed merchandise partners.

“Most of us are small businesses, and we’re up against a superpower with a lot of money,” she said. \u201cIt could kill us in lawyer fees to fight this. Elvis weddings are synonymous with Las Vegas. We keep Elvis alive. “<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
