Revisionist "historians" today try to paint Elvis Presley as racist. But according to his ex-wife Priscilla, that couldn't be further from the truth. She should know.

She recently appeared on Piers Morgan's show and set the record straight.

According to Insider:

Elvis Presley's ex-wife Priscilla appeared on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on Tuesday to discuss the iconic singer's legacy.

Asked how Elvis would fare in "this weird cancel culture," the 77-year-old businesswoman said Elvis was "not prejudiced in any way" and "not racist in any way."

"He's never been a racist. Elvis had friends, Black friends, friends from all over," she said. "He loved their music. He loved their style. He loved being around, you know, Black musicians."

Priscilla cited his friendships with two Black musicians, Fats Domino and Sammy Davis Jr., who she said would "always come into the dressing room" when Elvis performed in Las Vegas.

"He loved, loved being around Blacks and being around anyone actually," she said.
