In the movie, Presley fires his manager when he pieces together how Parker has been deceiving him. He feels exploited and fires Parker on the stage during his Las Vegas show. In reality, Nash told USA Today that Presley would "never do that." Presley apparently never knew that Parker wasn't from West Virginia like he claimed, as that information didn't come out in the United States until 1981. However, Nash shared that Presley did call out Hilton owner Barron Hilton on stage one night after he unfairly fired an employee whose wife was battling cancer.
