In this fearless tell-all, Elijah pulls back the velvet curtain to expose the ruthless power plays, silent sabotage, manipulation, and the psychological warfare that unfolded off camera and off script.

Behind the stare
In his fearless and explosive memoir, Behind The Stare, singer, reality TV star, and younger cousin of the late Prince, Elijah Connor, pulls back the velvet curtain, revealing truth bombs on what really happened before and after the cameras rolled — and why standing his ground nearly cost him everything.
“I wrote this book because I knew the day would come when the truth could no longer stay buried. Not just for me — but for the victims who were silenced. For those too afraid to speak out. For those who whispered, ‘There’s more to this.’ There was. And now, I’m telling it.”
—Elijah Connor
