Garibaldi, 36, who is the son of Lisa’s mother Priscilla Presley , 78, and Marco Garibaldi, 68, made shock comments about his sister during a recent Instagram Live, 11 months after her shock death aged 54, reports Mirror Online (pictured January 10 – two days before her death)
He also claimed when the star would drink alcohol, ‘she’d decide to go off and tell you everything that’s wrong with you and your life.
‘It was pretty destructful [sic]. I never got angry like that, I never said anything I didn’t mean when I smoked pot, but she would say really awful things to me that kind of kept us from being close when she would drink.
DailyMail.com has contacted a representative for Garibaldi for comment.
In February Garibaldi reflected on her ‘surreal’ death in an emotional interview released on the star’s 55th birthday .
Garibald also praised Lisa Marie’s daughter Riley Keough, 34 for caring for her twin sisters, Harper and Finley, 14.
The interview came 20 days after Presley’s tragic death on January 12 at age 54, after she went into cardiac arrest at home and had to be rushed to a hospital after CPR was performed.
He said of her shock passing: ‘It’s still so surreal’ before adding that he wanted to do the interview because ‘people know of me but they don’t know me’ – days after he attended a memorial for Presley at Graceland on January 22.
Garibaldi also said he and Presley had drifted apart in the years leading up to her death.

Last month Garibaldi took to Instagram with a childhood image of himself as he was with his sister.
He made reference to Lisa Marie’s late father Elvis Presley, who died in 1977 when she was nine; and her late son Benjamin Keough, who died of suicide in July of 2020 when he was 27.
‘Big sister… i hope you are now at peace and happy with your Dad and your son by your side,’ Garibaldi said. ‘I know the past couple years weren’t easy for you, and I wish things had been different between us … regardless, you are my sister and I’m sending love and prayers for your journey home.
He wrapped up in saying, ‘I still can’t believe this, I’m lost for words. Love you sis. Beijos.’
Garibaldi paid tribute to his late half-sister a day after his mother confirmed in a statement that the singer-songwriter had died after she was rushed to a hospital in the wake of what was thought to be a cardiac arrest.
‘It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,’ Priscilla told People in a statement. ‘She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known.
‘We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time, there will be no further comment.’
Lisa Marie’s last public appearance at the Golden Globes came two days before her death, where she attended in support of the Baz Luhrmann film Elvis.

She died from a small bowel obstruction caused by previous weight-loss surgery – with opioids found in her blood at the time of her death.
The daughter of Elvis Presley was rushed to hospital on January 12 after going into cardiac arrest – with an L.A. County Coroner report revealing the star died from sequelae (a condition which is the consequence of a previous disease or injury) of small bowel obstruction.
The bowel obstruction was in the form of strangulated small bowel, caused by adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery (stomach stapling) many years prior.
The toxicology results also show Lisa had ‘therapeutic’ levels of Oxycodone in her blood, with a second opioid Buprenorphine – which is used to treat opioid dependence – also found.
There were also traces of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic drug, reports TMZ.
The coroner states there was no ‘drug paraphernalia or narcotics’ found at her home and her urine toxicology screen was negative.
The report confirms Lisa had a cosmetic procedure a few months before her death and was prescribed opioids, with the star having a history of ‘overmedicating’ – forgetting she had taken her medication and then taking them again.
The reports also states the star had a ‘history of alcohol and drug abuse.’
