A publicist for Lisa Marie Presley is slamming a dramatic tabloid report which alleges that the King of Rock 'n' Roll's daughter is suffering a medical crisis due to extreme weight loss -- and that the Church of Scientology is stepping in to help her.
Presley's rep tells People.com, "It is absolutely and completely untrue....The Enquirer puts Lisa on the cover every few months with manipulated photos and horrendous stories of supposed 'meltdowns,' and has since she can remember."
The cover story claims Presley, 42, has lost more than fifty pounds in the last five months and that earlier this month, she consequently "collapsed" in England, where she resides with her 49-year-old husband, Michael Lockwood -- the end result being a flight to the U.S., where the tabloid says she was rushed in order receive Scientology-based treatment.
On Friday, her rep called the story "absolute garbage."
"She is happy and healthy, and working hard" in California on her fourth album, according to the spokesperson.
The reports of a health-related meltdown seem to have started after Presley and Lockwood were spotted strolling in Los Angeles with their twin daughters earlier this month. Last year, Presley relocated with her family to an 11-bedroom mansion near Kent, not far from the onetime home of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in West Sussex. The mom of four -- infamously married to Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996 -- sold her Los Angeles home in November after reportedly deciding to live permanently in Britain.
Of her fascination with the U.K., Presley once told Hello! magazine: "The civility, the culture, the people and its beauty have reawakened me, and have smoothed out some of my bleak and jagged views about people and life....I can honestly say that I am the only person who came to England for the weather. I love the cold and the rain."
