Into The Great Unknown with Riley Keough | Dear Chelsea
Riley Keough joins Chelsea to talk about loving and losing a non-traditional mother like Lisa Marie Presley, spending time at both Graceland and Neverland Ranch, and why it’s good to know where you came from. Then: A cousin wants to spill the beans about a secret sibling. A groom-to-be worries that his best friend will drink too much at the wedding. And a surrogacy gone awry leaves a mom-of-two feeling lost.

[@sunnyd2571]

I have always been a big fan of Chelsea but this is a very twisted account of Scientology’s role in LMP’s life. Not sure what’s going on in this interview.

[@TheProofLady]

@@sunnyd2571 it’s because Riley is a current Scientologist and is lying about her mother

[@fredericksmith7169]

​@TheProofLady Chances are Lisa also didn't want to start a fight with Scientology again. After all she hadn't said a thing about them in nine years and her life was consumed with grief over the suicide of her son. Carrying on a fight against Scientology would have been the least of her concerns at that point. Generally Riley and her were extremely tight.

[@moxieme65]

This would make more sense if Riley is the biological mother of someone still in Scientology she doesn’t want to be cut off from. Insiders say this is the case.

MJ is the only person who makes ppl shocked that he had chemistry and intimate relationship with his WIFE. Why wouldn´t he?

[@donnahanna10565]

I love Michael Jackson I knew it was real from the beginning and I know Michael Jackson was innocent. Donald Trump stood up for him and took him in the first time he was accused for 9 months to keep him away from the press. He said Michael spent lots of time with his children and himself and he was nothing but he sweet kind man. By the way kamla Harris is the one that tried to prosecute him and said that children are to believe even when there is no evidence.

[@chibaby5274]

That's because people only see his public image. They don't know the REAL Michael that Lisa and Riley knew. They go with whatever preconceived ideas they have of him. Him being strange or gay or childlike which Lisa Marie repeatedly said over the years wasn't the case. People apparently never believed her when she said he was real, he cursed, had a deep voice, and was an intelligent, loving man. It's no wonder he hid his true self from the world. He needed to have something left for himself and those closest to him.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Paul Breckenridge, June 1984, in the Gerry Armstrong case: "In addition to violating and abusing its own members' civil rights, the organization over the years with its 'fair game' doctrine has harassed and abused those persons not in the church whom it perceives as enemies."

[@TheCRYSTALzs]

Hush. .

[@hayleyspence3412]

Re woman who was a surrogate.. you are amazing. It is so selfless to do regardless of money and the mother and father don't really maybe get it fully as they couldn't carry their own child. You never really get it unless you have and then i cannot imagine handing over. They may not ever get it. But i do think it is important to acknowledge that pregnancy and birth is life risking even today. No matter age or diet. I had GD too and slim and healthy so it just can happen. I was also induced and had a traumatic birth unrelated to GD. If something happened to you that impacts your family as well. It is important for the mother to know that your family matters to you and you felt that she was not concerned about your well being. Yes it is nice to get skin on skin etc but many people that give birth to their own child don't get that becaue the child goes to ICU for simple things like swalling too much liquid in a c section. Prolonging labour is not worth the risk to the baby or mother. Love and bonds grow over time if you give your child time. You can explain that giving them this gift is your greatest honour and thank you but you want to address that you felt diregarded and for your own mental welbeing you need to write the letter with the hope of closure and peace on both sides.

[@ellac9353]

Scientology success story, really???🙄 I like Riley, but how she is talking about the "religion" makes me think she is still in the cult, how disappointing.

​@@TheCRYSTALzs They all raced over to these comments to berate Riley because some guy with a podcast named Aaron, who changes his opinion about once a month, decided in his latest blog that Riley's comments here prove she's one.

[@TheProofLady]

@@fredericksmith7169 No, many people have their own interests. I am a fan of Elvis, I’m not a fan of cults. Riley’s mom gave an interview, that interview is PUBLIC AND ANYONE CAN READ IT, and it spits in the face of the soft apologia that this still-in cult member is trying to peddle.

[@fredericksmith7169]

@TheProofLady Lisa Marie hadn't said anything in eight years after that interview and after the hell she went through with Ben's death may have had no appetite to reopen it all. None of you have any idea if she wanted the Scientology stuff in the memoir. All you have is theories.

[@wendyl6738]

I listened to her audiobook about two weeks ago. It was so powerful, especially when it was in her voice. I've found myself especially interested lately. My mother met Elvis in Waco, TX when she was like 7 at a grocery in Waco when he was hanging out with his friend Mr. Fadel when he was in the Army. She thought it was so cool. I think it's so cool.

[@TheCRYSTALzs]

Uh huh. Uh huh.

[@bonniebrown6960]

The second story they read about the surrogate mom, if I went through that with the parents and they felt that cold hearted.... I'd be worried they wouldn't love the baby unconditionally. I believe that would be my most concern. But I pray that's not the case. 😢 I never could give birth and give the baby away. It takes a strong woman to do that for someone else. She's a blessing to someone who can't have children. They could have shown more appropriation than that. I feel sorry for her. I hope it gets better for her. ❤

Chelsea your advice 25:31 kind of stunned me. I love you by the way!! I found out in 2019 my mom had an affair and I have a dad I never got to be with and three brothers I didn’t know. I have spent over 30 years in the healing world and now help people through this exact thing-After finding out a parent is not who they thought they were. Sweeping things under the rug is also hard but seems like in this case-the parents shame is not their children’s or cousins burden to bare. Those people are family. It’s my opinion that they deserve a chance to know each other. It’s such a massive thing to be a part off. I’m happy to speak with your viewer any time. He is in a tough spot and lying can be harmful to his subconscious and that spilling of truth onto him was not his fault but can be harmful to him. Either way, it’s a beautiful thing you all are doing and such a gift to hear more about Riley Keough!! What a gift she is. 💜

[@donnahanna10565]

But please realize that Lisa Marie hate it Scientology she hate it David Miscavige. Maybe Riley who is still a Scientologist is afraid to speak out because they will ruin your life. I can't believe Chelsea Handler is trying to say something good about a cult that traffics in children. Child sexual abuse, elder abuse identity theft. Their responsible for the biggest breach in the American government it was called operation Snow White look it up. Think about the fact that Lisa Marie was going to testify in the Danny Masterson trial because she knew the Jane does. A Scientologist or somebody who respected Scientology would never ever do that. Danny Masterson raped multiple women and Scientology held it secret for 20 years. I'm not saying anything against Riley but I'll tell you one thing Lisa Marie Left everything behind because she knew Scientology was spying on her that's what they do. And when you were Scientologist most all of it well I would say all of your friends are scientologists and everybody who works for you are scientologists so what do you do when you want to get away from them you fire everybody and get rid of all your friends.
