Roseanne Barr claims that the late Lisa Marie Presley dished to her about the men in her life.
In Presley’s case, that meant offering intimate details from her marriages to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, both of whom the rocker was married to briefly.
“The best person that I ran around with was Lisa Marie Presley,” Barr said in an interview published Tuesday in The Hollywood Reporter, after the former sitcom star was asked about having hung out with Madonna and Sandra Bernhard.
Barr said Presley, who died Jan. 12, 2023 at 54, had told her that Jackson was “the best lay she ever had.”
When the interviewer challenged Barr, accusing her of lying, the actress stood by her story.
“No, I’m not [lying],” Barr replied. “She said he was the best lay and he had it going on. She said he told her all the things girls want to hear.” He was “number one.”
Jackson, who died June 25, 2009 at 50, married Presley in 1994 and they split two years later.
Barr, 73, said she believed Presley, too.
“She never lied about s— like that,” the former Roseanne star said. “She told me about Nicolas Cage and his business. She told me everybody she was with and their business, the size of it and the use and all of it.”
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a rep for Cage.
Presley, the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, infamously married Elvis devotee Cage on Aug. 10, 2002. They split less than four months later.
Barr has been making the media rounds as she promotes her new, privately financed sitcom Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable, which costars Randy Quaid, Drea de Matteo, and Omar Gooding.

The She-Devil star described it as a series about “a patriotic grandmother who is the matriarch of a mixed-race prepper family in Texas.”
It’s “so funny,” she said. “It’s the funniest s— I’ve ever done, and I had a ball and I play a really wacky old lady this time.”
