If you've read any of Priscilla Presley's books or seen Sofia Coppola's movie, "Priscilla," you may already know that Priscilla followed many of Elvis Presley's whims; she wore clothes he wanted her to wear and did her hair and makeup in ways that he approved. Knowing this, one may assume that she would be comfortable in a sort of submissive housewife role in future relationships — but this was quite the opposite. It seems that, as she got older, she became more aware and resistant to these controlling — and, in some cases, abusive — tactics by Elvis and other men.
So it makes sense that things started to sour between Priscilla Presley and Robert Kardashian when she felt like he was trying to turn her into a "domesticated Armenian housewife," as described by Kardashian's friend, Joni Migdal, to author Jerry Oppenheimer (via Page Six).
Apparently, Robert Kardashian repeatedly asked her to cook for him, and once she did, he acted less than grateful. "Priscilla once tried to make dinner for Robert because he kept asking her, so Priscilla said that one night she cooked asparagus, and she made this and she made that, and she went out of her way to make it perfect, and he HATED it," recalled Migdal. "She said that after that meal, he never suggested that she make dinner for him again." We're guessing she wouldn't have cooked for him again, even if he had asked.
