Yes, and his abuse of her was infamous. He took extreme (cartoonish even) measures to keep her from leaving him, like setting up barbed wire/guard dogs in their yard, threatening to have a hit man shoot her, installing a gold coffin in their basement as a message, etc.

Real nasty marriage. He took all her shoes and forbade her to leave the house. He put up barbed wire like N. Korea around the house and pulled a gun on her frequently.

She ran away one night barefoot with just the clothes on her back.

It happened in late 2019, months before coronavirus would freeze time around the world so it's understandable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Spector#Relationships_and_children

In her 1990 memoir, Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts And Madness, Bennett alleged that Spector had imprisoned her in his California mansion and subjected her to years of psychological torment. According to Bennett, Spector sabotaged her career by forbidding her to perform, and she escaped from the mansion barefoot with the help of her mother in 1972. In their 1974 divorce settlement, she forfeited all future record earnings and surrendered custody of their children. She alleged that this was because Spector threatened to hire a hit man to kill her.

Spector's sons Gary and Dont both stated that their father "kept them captive" as children, and that they were "forced to perform simulated intercourse" with his girlfriend. According to Gary, "I was blindfolded and sexually molested. Dad would say, 'You're going to meet someone,' and it would be a 'learning experience'." Dont described himself as coming "from a very sick, twisted, dysfunctional family".

In 1982, Spector had twin children with his girlfriend Janis Zavala: Nicole Audrey Spector and Phillip Spector, Jr. Phillip Jr. died of leukemia in 1991.

On September 1, 2006, Spector, while on bail and awaiting trial, married his third wife Rachelle Short, who was 26 at the time. Spector filed for divorce in April 2016, claiming irreconcilable differences.

What an absolute scumbag, and it's still wild to me that guys like this still attract women despite what they've done.

If you ever hear Brian Wilson talk about other artists, he almost always brings up Be My Baby.

Memory holing 2020 and 2021 out of existence is fine, and let's be honest, frankly healthy.

And of course, RIP. I loved her work.
