Hannah Maguire

almost a proto-cult leader, fuelling up on drugs with his harem and living out on an abandoned farm in the middle of nowhere.

He took Tony's money, he fed him drugs and started to take control of the naive young man.

And no doubt enraged by the rumoured homosexual relationship, but also the idea that someone else might snatch away her power over Tony, Barbara actually came and physically dragged Tony out of Jake's clutches and back to Switzerland, where she was staying at the time.

When they were stopped at the border because Tony didn't have his passport, she kicked up such an almighty stink that they were chucked into jail for the night.

Yeah.

And during this jail border passport debacle, apparently, according to witnesses, Barbara famously exclaimed, here you are, darling, at last, manacled to mummy.

Yeah.

Embroiled in bitter divorce proceedings, Barbara tightened her hold on Tony.

who was firmly on Mummy's side.

And with the loss of Brooks, slowly we see an escalation in the spousification of Tony by Barbara, which you can also call emotional incest.

She ramps up her need for attention and intimacy from Tony, treating him as a surrogate partner.

The two of them moved into a villa on the Spanish island of Mallorca, where Barbara drank heavily and both of them took a shit ton of drugs.

Tony had been dabbling with hallucinogenic since his teens, and by now it seemed that Barbara had said fuck it and joined in.

Acquaintances noticed that both of them appeared to be struggling more with their mental health than ever before.

And adding quite so many drugs to that mix is only going to go one way.

It was a catalyst to the nightmare already unfolding.

Because out in Majorca, in that crumbling old house, literally like Aleister Crowley, it is alleged that their relationship took a truly twisted turn.

Yeah.

I think, I know I mentioned Root of Evil before, but if she's hanging around with Salvador Dali, she's probably hanging out with Man Ray.

She's probably hanging out with all sorts of people like the central father figure in Root of Evil.
