Ronnie Spector tribute: Ronettes icon dies at 78 after battle with cancer

‘Locked up’

Singer Ronnie, a member of The Ronettes, makes the claim in her 1990 autobiography Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts and Madness, unearthed by The Sun.

And Donte, who was born on March 23, 1969, told Daily mail that Spector had insulted him and his brothers, stating that his relationship with his father was a “thin line between love and hate.”

He also alleges that Spector “locked him and his brethren in their bedroom with a ‘lock on the door’.”

Donte claims he ran away from home at age 10 after years of abuse.

The couple divorced in 1974, and Bennett is said to have lost all future record earnings because she alleges that Spector threatened her with a “murderer”.

Phil Spector died on January 16 of last year from complications from Covid-19 after testing positive for the bug four weeks earlier.
