The eldest grandchild of the King of Rock and Roll, Riley Keough, has opened up about her tumultuous teenage years, revealing the stress and anxiety she caused her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley. Like many adolescents, Keough navigated a rebellious phase marked by experimentation and pushing boundaries. However, her actions took a toll on her mother, who was already dealing with the pressures of being the daughter of Elvis Presley and a high-profile celebrity in her own right.
In a recent interview, the DaisyJones& the Six actress reflected on her teenage years, offering a candid glimpse into her experiences and the impact they had on her relationship with her mother.
Riley Keough speaks about her brush with the law as a teenager
In a recent episode of the popular podcast Call Her Daddy, which aired on January 15, Keough shared a personal and previously undisclosed story about a challenging experience from her past. The 35-year-old actress revealed that she had been arrested as a minor. According to her, the arrest was for breaking and entering, although she maintained that it was a genuine misunderstanding rather than a deliberate act of mischief.
Riley went on to explain the circumstances of the arrest, recounting how she had attended a party at a house that she believed belonged to a friend. However, it was only later that she discovered the unsettling truth: the house was actually a property for sale, and she had unwittingly become a trespasser.

The mother of one further explained that when the incident occurred, she was arrested in the company of ten other people. She recalled the moment when she had to call her mother to come pick her up from jail, a phone call that was undoubtedly fraught with tension and concern. Understandably, Lia Marie was upset by the news of her daughter’s arrest, and Riley acknowledged the disappointment and worry that her mother felt at that moment.
Due to the incident, Keough faced a punishment that would have a significant impact on her daily life: a three-month grounding that coincided with her birthday. However, despite the severity of the occurrence, she expressed relief that the brief brush with the law never made the headlines, sparing her and her family from the intense scrutiny and embarrassment that often accompanies public attention.
