Lisa Marie Presley insists her Twitter was 'hacked'... after retweeted video link accusing ex Michael Jackson of being a paedophile appears on her account
The daughter of Elvis has been accused of re-tweeting a link to a video that suggests her late ex-husband Michael Jackson was a paedophile, per RadarOnline.
On October 2 she fired off three messages on her Twitter account defending herself.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]'That tweet was erroneous! Somehow someone tweeted it on my my behalf! Its BS!' her first tweet said.
'Yes, my account was in fact hacked!!!' said the next tweet.
'Thank God for Karen Faye for giving me the heads up about all this…' her last tweet on the subject said.
Lisa, 45, married the King Of Pop in 1994 but divorced him 18 months later.
The fuss began when an alleged hacker re-tweeted a link from her Twitter account to a YouTube video implying the Thriller singer was guilty of sex crimes against children.
It came from an account titled Wade Robson Allys. Wade is a choreographer who has accused Jackson of molesting him when he was a child performer. Wade even went on the Today show to explain what happened.
The message on the video that Lisa is accused of sharing said, 'If you care about survivors of child sexual abuse please re-tweet.'
The account and clip have since been taken offline, per Radar.
Immediately Lisa's timeline became overwhelmed with nasty comments about the former model.
This incident comes on the heels of a not guilty verdict for the AEG wrongful death trial the Jackson family initiated.
The Jacksons claimed the concert promoting company played a part in Michael's 2009 death by hiring Dr. Conrad Murray who oversaw the singer's medications as he prepared for an AEG concert series in London.
If Michael's family had won, they would have been awarded up to $1 billion.
But they lost and left with not a penny.
Lisa has had to defend Michael since the day she married him.
After a short courtship, the two tied the knot to a lot of skepticism about the true reason for their union.
It had been only one year since the superstar was accused for the first time of molesting a child.
But she stood by his side, adamantly denying any rumors he was sexually deviant.
She even talked to Oprah from her home in London about how she believed Michael was not a child molester but just misunderstood. She passionately described his power and charisma.
These days Lisa is working on her music. On September 20 she performed at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee. Her mother Priscilla Presley was on hand to support her.
Lisa's daughter Riley Keough was in the news recently for dating Twilight's Robert Pattinson.
