LISA MARIE PRESLEY is hiding a shocking health secret – she suffered a terrifying collapse at her $14 million estate in England and has fled back to the United States for emergency treatment at the Church of Scientology.
Only five months after abandoning America for England, the 42-year-old homesick entertainer was rushed back to the States on a private jet by her loving fourth husband Michael Lockwood.
Now the mother of four – weakened by a low-calorie diet and an all-out attempt to relaunch her music career – is undergoing Scientology counseling to help her recover from her frightening emotional collapse, say sources.
Incredibly, Lisa Marie dropped 55 pounds in just five months – and friends are worried about her condition.
On Jan. 2, Lisa Marie was at her 11-bedroom mansion outside London, caring for her 2-year-old twin daughters Harper and Finley, when all her pent-up stress finally erupted like a volcano.
"Lisa Marie just lost it," a longtime family friend told The ENQUIRER. "She started freaking out and burst into tears, crying: ‘I can’t take any more! I can’t take any more!’
"Just after putting the twins down for a nap, she collapsed on the floor. She screamed and sobbed: ‘I just can’t handle it!’
"Michael raced to her side and scooped her up in his arms. He held her tenderly. It seems like everything had hit her at once."
Her musician husband took charge of the crisis, said the source.
"Lisa Marie’s a fervent Scientologist, and it was Michael’s idea that she turn to her faith for comfort.
"Lisa agreed. Then she begged him to get her back to L.A. to be with her mother, her older children and to be near the Scientology Centre she’s grown to love. She told Michael: ‘I need them to get my head clear, and I need their guidance.’"
Just five days later, the couple and their twins – along with staff members and nannies – arrived in California. Lisa Marie immediately went to the Centre, located in the heart of Hollywood.
"She was really shaken up," revealed the friend.
