for people who don’t know Ronnie Spector married to someone named Phil, who was a music producer for a few bands, and from the money they made they bought a mansion, but Phil barricaded the mansion so Ronnie couldn’t escape. He also hid Ronnie’s shoes to make sure. But the last straw was when Phil adopted 2 kids for her as a Christmas gift without permission. She eventually escaped and when Phil k***ed somebody else in his mansion, he got put in jail in 2003 for 19 years. Phil died in 2021 and Ronnie died in 2022.
