Vanessa Amorosi Ends Decade-Long Family Feud with Court Victory

Vanessa Amorosi, the Australian singer known for hits like "Absolutely Everybody," has publicly addressed a decade-long bitter legal battle with her mother, Joyleen Robinson, over control of properties and financial disputes involving her music earnings. Despite believing she had earned over $10 million during her career, Amorosi discovered she was bankrupt and burdened by debts managed under trusts controlled by her mother and stepfather, leading her to sue for sole ownership of their Melbourne and Los Angeles homes. Amorosi expressed deep emotional pain over the feud, revealing a complicated family history marked by domestic violence inflicted by her late father, which created a codependency with her mother. While Amorosi did not accuse her mother of deliberately mismanaging funds, she felt blindsided by the financial situation and compelled to take legal action to protect herself from further debt. Robinson has made contrasting claims suggesting Amorosi's behavior was affected by a brain aneurysm, an allegation Amorosi vehemently denies as damaging to her credibility. Throughout the ordeal, Amorosi has sought to explain her difficult choices, emphasizing the personal toll and her desire to protect her family despite the painful fallout.
