AceShowbiz - Kris Jenner reportedly got dumped by ex-husband Robert Kardashian for Priscilla Presley, and details about their secret love affair have been exposed. Radar Online reports that Robert had been "relentlessly" pursuing Elvis Presley's ex before he married the reality TV star, but later "settled."
According to "The Kardashian: An American Drama" by Jerry Oppenheimer, Robert dumped Kris and forced her to work as a flight attendant so he could woo Priscilla. The pair allegedly met through Robert's older brother, Thomas, who also wanted to date Priscilla, but instead she "settled" for Robert.
"It was while Kris was learning to schlep a drinks cart up and down a narrow aisle above the clouds that Robert Kardashian was on cloud nine, having put Kris mostly out of mind and fallen hard for another woman, and not just any woman, but rather a gorgeous divorcee with a daughter and an internationally known pedigree," Oppenheimer wrote. "To Kris' deep regret and extreme jealousy, the man of her current dreams was suddenly head over heels in love with the ex-wife of 'the King.' "
"While Robert Kardashian wasn't a kiss-and-tell kind of guy and stayed below the radar in the years before he became O.J. Simpson's well-known mouthpiece, he couldn't wait to tell his friends that he was involved with the former Mrs. Presley, a big-time romantic and sexual trophy for him," he continued.
"Elvis was Robert's music idol. He loved Elvis," a friend of Robert, Joni Migdal, told the author. "Robert and I knew all the words of Elvis' songs...then Robert started dating Priscilla and that made him very happy. He wanted to marry her and have children with her. That was definitely his hope, his plan."
"Priscilla really changed a lot of my brother's thinking of how he should dress, how he should even drive, and what he should do - and she changed him easily because she was so attractive, and so she had a lot of influence on him," Thomas told the author.
Meanwhile, Robert attempted to change Priscilla by making her into "his version of a domesticated 'Armenian housewife,' " according to a so-called friend. She allegedly "once tried to make dinner for Robert because he kept asking her," but "he hated it. He did not like it. She said that after that meal he never suggested that she make dinner for him again." Priscilla felt "hurt" and "insulted."
At that time, Kris, now 61, was "threatened by" and jealous of Priscilla, now 72, as the reality TV star was "desperate" to marry Robert, according to her friend. The friend added that Kris would "fly back to L.A. as often as she could in order to try to win back Kardashian from Priscilla Presley."
Robert and Priscilla's romance didn't last long. They only dated for a year and it was rocky. Robert was said trying to "control" her, and he even "complained to a friend that while he was making love to Priscilla, she would get incoherent phone calls from Elvis 'and she would put the receiver on the pillow between them and let him listen.' "
Their romance officially ended after Priscilla said she wouldn't remarry until Elvis was dead. But, Priscilla still "telephoned him and gently told him she loved him" while he was on his deathbed with esophageal cancer.
Priscilla is now taking care of Lisa Marie Presley's twins in the midst of her daughter's messy divorce and custody battle with Michael Lockwood. Meanwhile, Kris is the mother and manager of the famous Kardashian and Jenner siblings. Following her first marriage to Robert, Kris married and divorced Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner.
