SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: THE GERALDO CLIP, DEE STANLEY, AND A FALSE NARRATIVE

I need to put something on record because a false impression is being pushed about me, and it matters.

For over a year now, I’ve dealt with ongoing hostility from a certain Elvis-related channel. This isn’t new. This person has targeted me repeatedly, and yes — has filed strikes against me before. The bigger issue is the pattern: they do not like Elvis being defended, and they do not like me defending Elvis.

Now they’ve posted a public statement implying something that is simply not true.

They are trying to give people the impression that I posted the same “disgusting” video they posted.

I did not. And I never would.

Let me explain the full history properly, from the beginning, so there is no confusion.

⸻

THE REAL REASON WE FELL OUT

Me and this person fell out over one specific thing:

They posted a 43-minute video from a Geraldo episode (late 80s / early 90s era). In that episode, Dee Stanley appears and makes outrageous sexual allegations about Elvis involving his mother.

I’m going to say this clearly, because I’ve said it from day one:

Those allegations are disgusting, unproven, and in my opinion a vile smear against Elvis Presley and Gladys Presley.

And I said at the time:
If you run an Elvis channel and you claim you “honour Elvis,” why are you posting a 43-minute sensationalised attack piece like that?

To me, that is not commemorating Elvis. That is not honouring Elvis. That is not “research.”
That is spreading smears for attention, views, likes, subscribers, and—let’s be honest—money.

That is what the fallout was about.

⸻

WHO DEE STANLEY IS IN THIS CONTEXT

Dee Stanley is tied to the Stanley family and is widely reported to have later married Vernon Presley (Elvis’s father). She is the mother of Billy, Rick, and Dave Stanley (the Stanley brothers connected to Elvis’s later life).

So we’re not talking about some random person saying something shocking for no reason.

We’re talking about a person who was connected to that whole orbit — and she went on television and said vile things that some viewers still believe today, purely because it was on TV.

That’s the danger of these clips.

⸻

WHY I REFUSED TO SHARE THE 43-MINUTE VIDEO

I refused to share that full episode then. I refuse now. And I always will.

Because it’s wrong.

Even if the goal is “discussion,” you don’t need to platform and replay 43 minutes of filth to make a point. Some things should not be boosted. Some things should be called out, not recycled.

And the fact that the 43-minute video is still up, still getting views (it has been watched by tens of thousands of people), and still being monetised, absolutely disgusts me — because some people watch it and walk away thinking it must be true.

It isn’t “true” just because it was on a talk show.

⸻

WHAT I ACTUALLY SHARED (AND WHY)

Now here’s the key part — the part being twisted:

I posted a link to a short six-minute clip.

I did that proudly, and I’ll tell you why:

Because that short clip shows Joe Esposito (who was close to Elvis and worked in his security circle) and J.D. Sumner (one of Elvis’s gospel singers) arguing with Dee Stanley and pushing back.

In other words:

✅ It shows Elvis being defended.
✅ It shows pushback against the lies.
✅ It shows that people close to Elvis did not sit there silently while this nonsense was said.

That six-minute clip is NOT the same thing as posting the full 43-minute smear episode.

Not even close.

⸻

THE LIE BEING PUSHED ABOUT ME

What this person is doing now is trying to create a false picture:

They are implying I posted “the same video” they posted, so they can call me a hypocrite.

But I did not post the 43 minutes.
I posted a six-minute DEFENCE clip.

They know the difference.

And this is what bothers me: it’s not a misunderstanding. It’s an attempt to twist the truth so they can damage my reputation and make it look like I did something I absolutely refuse to do.

That is lying by implication.

⸻

MY POSITION HAS NOT CHANGED — AND IT NEVER WILL

I’ll say it again, plainly:
• I will never promote full smear content about Elvis or Gladys.
• I will never help spread disgusting allegations for views.
• I will always defend Elvis when I see misinformation being amplified.
• And I will share clips that show Elvis being defended, because that’s the whole point of what I do.

If you want to disagree with me, fine.
If you want to challenge facts, fine.
But don’t misrepresent what I posted to manufacture a fake “gotcha.”

⸻

WHY THIS MATTERS BEYOND ME

This isn’t just about “internet drama.”

It’s about what kind of Elvis community people want.

Do we want Elvis channels that honour Elvis?
Or Elvis channels that recycle smear material because it gets clicks?

Because I’ll tell you something:

Elvis has been trashed for cash for decades.
And I’m not going to be quiet while people pretend that’s “just content.”
