It would seem that Lisa Marie's problems began at the 80th Annual Golden Globes. According to (The Blast, a clip from the eventful night showed the former wife to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, needing help down a flight of steps before it kicked off.

Award-winner Austin Butler assisted her down the stairs and walked her over to the red carpet area. However, as the "Switched at Birth" actor let go of her hand, she appeared visibly shaky, with many fearing that Lisa Marie would fall over.

The four-time divorced singer showed similar signs in another footage hours after the live broadcast, and the red carpet ended. The moment was captured after Butler won the Actor in a Drama Motion Picture award for his performance in the 2022 musical drama, "Elvis."

It was clear that Lisa Marie was not all there when she spoke about what the movie meant to her. The "Elvis by the Presleys" star's speech was slurred, and her body language seemed off.

Although some chalked the signs up to her excitement that the film based on her late dad's life and work got a big win, others claimed they were indicative of a heart attack or similar behavior.

Meanwhile, Elvis died when Lisa Marie was just nine-years-old making her the joint-heir — alongside her grandfather Vernon Presley and her great-grandmother Minnie Mae Hood Presley— to his estate.

After the couple died in 1979 and 1980, she became the sole heir, also inheriting her dad's Graceland residence.
