    She told People that her then-husband never sought her opinion before adopting twins. She said,

    “Everything was a surprise, and no woman wants live children as a surprise.”

    In another interview with Vice, the late rock and roll icon explained,

    “When I was married before [to Phil Spector], it was, “Here’s some kids, Merry Christmas.”

    She added,

    “I got a set of twins for Christmas! I couldn’t handle it. It was way over my head. I had an adopted son already home and then to get five-and-a-half year-old twins—it was a big box.”  

    After Phil Spector’s such unusual doings, Ronnie’s mother told her to leave Phil and the mansion. The late artist recalled,  

    “I knew, if I didn’t leave, I would die. That’s weird to say, but it’s the truth.”

    “Just heard this a moment ago, and have to say I’m devastated. Just last year I lost my father, now almost exactly a year later, I lose Ronnie. Although technically she isn’t my mother, she had always considered herself to be, and I always appreciated that of her. I truly will miss her.”
