Elvis Week 2024: Shirley Dieu discusses Elvis (August 15, 2024)

[@Shanna3fan]

Shame on EPE. They should have invited Ginger and the Smiths. Dianna Goodman would have been a much better choice than Shirley.

[@patpargeter6050]

Exactly, it's not as if she was a girlfriend. Just Joe's bit on the side between his wives. Even Joe never MARRIED HER

[@marthaashley2211]

I agree

[@K9_NINA]

Sandi the “gate girl” would have been a great choice as a speaker and that’s who this lady is referring to. She had a cd/dvd of some of the photos taken over years ( out of circulation). She still has volumes of pictures and stories from the 68 special , at the gates of la homes, inside the Palm Springs home. Etc

[@vicki6070]

She would be a great choice. She met Elvis at least in the early to mid-60s standing at the various gates of his homes and then started dating Charlie H.

[@K9_NINA]

[@stevechamberlain839]

Its time to bury the hatchet with the Smiths...EPE owes it to the fans to bring them to Graceland events. Also, I would love to hear from Pat West. If they don't start reaching out to other individuals then we end up with guests like this....pitiful !!

[@HopefulFullMoon-pk5yg]

She don't like Elvis just doning to sell book Joe x girl friend

[@janetcoombes8483]

I agree. Jack Soden and the people at EPE are stupid not to ask more of Elviss family and old friends The fans themselves would welcome them.

[@candybailes2044]

I think he thought he was more important than all the other MM members. Then I always think about Elvis firing Joe in the sixties. Joe called Marty several times, because he couldn't find a job when he went back to his hometown. Finally Marty asked Elvis about hiring him back. Elvis asked Marty his opinion, in other words, left it up to Marty. Marty told Elvis he could use some help and Joe already knew how things operated and it would take more time it hire a new person. So, with that Joe was rehired. Joe was always the Colonel's stooge! Then of course not long before Elvis passed, the racketball crap that Joe and others caused Elvis to be out a lot of money and then the lawsuits. Joe, even used his mother's home as collateral.....smh.

Exactly, she said she hated men. And said Elvis was CREEPY. Why ever they invited her, I'll never know. She was just a cocktail waitress in Vegas. Clung onto Joe, to get close to Elvis. Even Joe never married her, he was married to Joanie friend of the EX-WIFE. Joannie divorced Joe, and married a Kardashion. Then Joe married again. Shirley was just Joe's bit on the side, we call them a lie by, here in the UK. His second wife passed away with cancer.May she R.I.P. But still Joe NEVER married Shirley. Says a lot ? Then her book came out, she never paid her friend Sarah Matteson back the money she put up for the MM Princess book, to break published. Says a lot for Shirley Dieu ?????
