He yelled at her if he couldn't find a suit or if it wasn't picked up from the cleaners.

Are you exhausted yet? LOL Oh there's MORE! She couldn't talk to any man alone. she was constantly informed of her shortcomings, and she would have to PROMISE that he'd never have to tell her of her shortcomings again. Elvis had her walking around the house with a book on her head, because he felt she had poor posture. You need someone to take you right to this point AND PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE (this was Elvis technique of keeping me (her) under control) Elvis detested aggressive women. when she questioned him about another woman, his response was "you're getting a little too aggressive and demanding.took all her clothes out the closet.threw them on the floor.said all right woman.start packing.and yelled out to one of his employees to get her on the next flight out. when she questioned him about looking at a woman, his reply was "look woman.no one tells me who I can look at and who I can't". she was nearly raped by one of his employees. she was given prescription drugs that caused her to pass out for 2 days.

she nor anyone else said anything when Elvis entered a room, until his mood was revealed. she was criticized if dinner was not to his liking. she was told what to wear, not to wear and sent upstairs if it was wrong. she was reprimanded for having chipped nail polish on one toe. a chair hurled at her and records hitting her in the face, because she didn't like a song. She mentions in the book: A bruised arm and black eye, in return from hitting Elvis too hard during a pillow fight. A movie (Elvis and Me) was made in '88 ( Part 1 and Part 2), but the movie softens what she wrote in the book. Elvis (according to her) was a philanderer, at times abusive, and controlling. Their love story had good times, but the bad times are disturbing and went on for so long. You can actually picture what she went through as you read it. She talks about what she experienced with Elvis in vivid detail. I read it in 2 nights and highly recommend it.

It's her personal account of their 18 year relationship, that began when she was only 14. I'm trying to mentally "digest" this book! I picked up Priscilla's Presley's book Elvis and Me (1985) from the hotel gift shop.
