Mike Stone claims Priscilla Presley was about her ‘trying to find herself’ during their union Fifty years after his affair with Priscilla Presley became public, legendary Karate instructor Mike Stone broke his silence on their relationship. He shared his thoughts on why Priscilla and Elvis’ relationship stagnated and how their union played a small part in her personal evolution.

In 2021, Stone spoke to Piers Beagley , recalling his part in the breakdown of the marriage of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. However, Stone says fans should consider all sides of the story before pointing fingers. “I do understand how fans would feel that way,” he said. “But unless you have walked at least a mile in someone else’s shoes, be grateful and humble; you have feet.” He feels Priscilla was looking for a new experience outside her marriage as their relationship evolved.

Stone was one of Priscilla’s karate instructors then; the other was Ed Parker. “But aren’t we all looking for new things in our life, especially when we feel stuck, trapped, unable to breathe, and move about freely?” Stone declared. “At that particular time, maybe that is how she felt, like growing, learning, trying to find herself.: He continued, “Most of us will go through life never really knowing who we are.

How much fun and freedom can that be for anyone?” Priscilla Presley and Mike Stone kept their affair quiet for one year Mike Stone revealed that Priscilla Presley waited a significant amount of time before telling Elvis Presley about their affair. He said they dated for a long time before Priscilla told her husband she and Stone were romantically involved.

Surely, I cannot be held accountable for her separation.” However, Stone admitted that while Elvis may not have known about his and Priscilla’s union as a couple, they didn’t hide their relationship publically. He said they spent time in Huntington Beach, California, where his karate school was, and were out and about regularly.

She then said she was interested in watching his classes.

Their relationship began as a student and teacher relationship. A romance evolved naturally, Stone said. Elvis and Priscilla Presley separated in 1972 after five years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in 1973..
