During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Barr discussed her upcoming independent sitcom, Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable. She also reflected on several famous people she knew personally. When asked about her past friendships, she singled out Presley as one of the most memorable people she knew.
Barr confirmed that Presley had spoken to her about Jackson, whom she married in 1994. The couple’s relationship attracted intense public attention.

She insisted that Presley had told her he “had it going on.”
Barr also claimed Presley said Jackson knew how to tell women what they wanted to hear. Barr maintained that she believed Presley because the singer had been candid with her about intimate details of her relationships.
The comedian also claimed that Presley had discussed other partners with her, including actor Nicolas Cage. Barr claimed Presley openly shared private details about the men she dated, including intimate information. She then reiterated that Jackson ranked highest in her recollection of Presley’s comments.
Presley and Jackson married in May 1994 and divorced in 1996. Their relationship remained a subject of public fascination long after their separation, with questions about its private reality continuing to surface.
