Priscilla Presley has hit out at Bam Margera's 'dishonest' interpretation of their recent meeting.
Last week, Margera shared a photo with Presley on Instagram, and claims that the pair had 'lunch' with one another.
He also said that they met through her son, Navarone Garcia, 35, at the family home.

Margera, 43, then told TMZ that Presley, 77, gifted him two of Elvis' personal possessions — a robe and a ring.
The Jackass star later revealed he'd gifted the items to his both his dad and rapper Yelawolf.
However, Presley told the publication that she had 'no idea who [Margera] was or that he was filming in [her] home without [her] consent'.
She says that the star 'talked non-stop about his new ventures and personal struggles and asked for a photo with [her] for his father, who is a big fan'.
“Unbeknownst to us at the time, Bam chose to circulate those photos accompanied by false information and storytelling,” she said, while also referring to Margera as 'a dishonest and unstable individual'.
Presley was also adamant that she did not give away 'anything of Elvis'.
Margera has been public with his sobriety issues and Elvis' ex-wife says she hopes he 'gets the help he needs and does what is right'.
She went on to say that she and her son 'want no further communication' with the stunt performer.
Margera has since apologised for the incident after releasing a statement on social media.
It read: "I want to apologize to @priscillapresley and Navarone Presley for my behavior.
"I’m very sorry and embarrassed, and I can’t apologize enough for acting like a jackass.
"Navarone gave me a robe and ring that I gave Phil to be a part of Phil’s Elvis stuff.
"I’m making Navarone a $10,000 Heartagram necklace because I love his band @themguns with hopes to record and tour. I’m sorry."
Last year, Margera was removed from the set of the latest Jackass instalment after testing positive for Adderall, according to his attorney Eric George.
And in the year prior, he launched a lawsuit, which he later dropped, against Paramount, Knoxville and director Jeff Tremaine and said he was wrongfully fired from the film.
He believes he endured 'psychological torture' while working with the team.
In a video that was posted and then deleted early last year, Margera alleged: "Jackass has put me through hell on f***ing wheels for a year-and-a-half."
In an interview with Variety, Johnny Knoxville says it wasn't an easy decision to reduce the screen time for his longtime pal.
"We wanted him all throughout the movie, but unfortunately that's not the way it worked out," he said.
"It's really heartbreaking. I love Bam. We all love Bam. He's our brother, you know? You just hope that he takes it upon himself to get the help that he needs, because we all care about him a lot."
