Priscilla Presley‘s son is responding to critics.
Navarone Garibaldi Garci, 37, is speaking out after launching a GoFundMe to raise money to create a pizza business out of his driveway in Los Angeles.
The GoFund me has a goal of $5,500.
Here’s the description:
I have always wanted to start my own business, but marketing and advertising always get in my way. As well as having the whole brick and mortar shop to add another expense.
Now I would like to make and serve affordable organic pizza for my community and sell it from my driveway to the large foot traffic in my neighborhood. I have found a large industrial pizza oven and negotiated it from $14,000 down to $8,500.
I have 3,000 saved up for this… and the pizza dough and sauces already sourced. It’s just buying the oven that I need to get me started. I would truly appreciate any help.

Navarone quickly received hate and backlash, with some users questioning why he couldn’t get the money from his famous mother.
Haters gonna hate… and I’m sure I’ll have to explain this many more times to ignorant people who think I should “ask my mom” or that I have money….. YEAH, I also have a lot of bills, I also have a budget, I also donate to other causes… I also give to the homeless… I just don’t film and put it on YouTube… but, I also have crazy ADD and try to do lots of things… if I just went all in every time I thought I had a great idea… I’d be broke in 2 days. I’m not asking anything to donate that can’t afford to, I’m offering free pizza to people that donate… and I’m putting in a lot of my own money to buy this oven. Just asking for help on the remaining bit that’s out of my budget. That’s all. Love and Peace, Kindness and pizza. The link is in all my stories if you want to help out.
He went on to explain to TMZ that his goal is to sell affordable, organic pizza to his community right from his driveway, and he’s open to a brick and mortar shop if things go well. Watch him speak out above.
