Description

Elvis Presley was the King of Rock & Roll — but behind the charm and charisma was a man terrified of conflict. In this emotional deep dive, we explore why Elvis hated confrontation, how it shaped his relationships, and why he had his own father fire Red and Sonny West instead of doing it himself.


We also examine how his bottled-up anger, desire for control, and fear of emotional vulnerability pushed people away — including the women he loved. From explosive tantrums to silent exits, this is the untold story of how avoidance shaped the final years of Elvis’s life.
