Patiño in turn denounced her as an adulterous, "worthless" woman who "did everything for money," described her excessive drug-taking, demanded that she return his gifts of jewelry. With Mother on hand, Joanne holed up in a lush but lonely ten-room villa in Switzerland's Jura Mountains and waited for her attorneys to wring a financial settlement from Pati...
