Vanessa Amorosi’s mother has been turfed out of ‘her’ dream home two years after a court ruled she was never entitled to live in the sprawling property. 

The Daily Mail can reveal Joyleen Robinson has been evicted from the Narre Warren North home, in Melbourne‘s south-east, which she had lived in since 2001, when her then-successful daughter bought the property.

The home sold on August 20 for an undisclosed amount, but had been listed for sale at between $2.4million to $2.6million. 

It came just days after the Absolutely Everybody hitmaker gave a ‘tell-all’ interview to Channel Nine’s 60 Minutes program in which she again hit out at her elderly mum. 

In September last year, Supreme Court of Victoria Justice Steven Moore ordered Ms Robinson to move out of the home within 60 days of being paid $870,000 in restitution by her pop star daughter.

Amorosi was given until March 31 to pay the money after winning her bitter Supreme Court bid to have her mother removed.

The sale of the property brings to an end the bitter public feud which began in 2014 when Amorosi brought in forensic accountants over suspicions her mother had mismanaged her funds at the peak of her popularity. 

The property listing no doubt rubbed salt in the wounds for Amorosi’s mother, who told the Supreme Court of Victoria the home was a ‘dream come true’ in 2023. 

‘Picture this,’ the advertisement began. 

‘Twenty magnificent acres stretch before you, rolling hills dotted with mature trees, and in the distance, your lake catches the morning light like scattered diamonds. This isn’t just a property it’s your personal sanctuary. ‘

Ms Robinson could not be contacted by the Daily Mail on Wednesday. 

The gates at the usually open farmhouse had been padlocked shut. 

All remnants of the pop star’s former life have now been removed, including a ramshackle parking lot, filled with rusty cars that previously shadowed her former studio at the base of the property. 

When the Daily Mail visited the home in February, the Robinson clan appeared confident Amorosi would not be able to pay out the $870,000 she was required to hand over before the house could be sold. 

‘We don’t know if she’s going to pay. We don’t really know where she’s going to get the money from,’ Rachel Godwin, the partner of Amorosi’s stepbrother, said. 

‘We haven’t really heard what’s happening. We’re just waiting here to be told.’

At the time, Ms Robinson had only just celebrated her 70th birthday without the company of any of her three daughters. 

The court battle over the six-bedroom property had centred around the claim Amorosi had gifted the home to her mum during a kitchen chat sometime in 2001.

The singer claimed ‘victory’ after a long and public trial that saw both her and her mother in the witness box.

It is understood Ms Robinson is working as a cleaner as she rebuilds her life after almost bankrupting herself during the trial instigated by her estranged daughter. 

Amorosi told 60 Minutes she earned at least $10million dollars at the peak of her successful pop career, only to learn she was in fact bankrupt and could not afford to keep up the mortgage payments on her own Los Angeles ‘dream home’.

Her mother managed Amorosi’s trust at the time, and while there is no suggestion the accounts were mismanaged, Amorosi did not realise she was drowning in debt. 

Amorosi claimed she had no choice but to challenge her mother in court, as she had to sell her assets to repay the debts she did not realise she had incurred.

‘Like, people want to know, “Why would you do this to your mum?” Like, trust me, that’s not a good time,’ Vanessa told 60 Minutes.

‘I think she banked on me never having the guts, or I would just walk away. And it took a lot of buckling down, because if I walked away, I walked away with a debt. That’s where I was left,’ she said.

During the bitter trial, the court heard Amorosi believed her mother had exploited her wealth during the height of her popularity when she was just a teenager.

‘She’s being very generous with my money,’ Amorosi said.

Amorosi told the court she had been brainwashed into believing her mother was the only person to be trusted to handle the millions of dollars she earned after becoming a star in 2000.

‘That had happened since (I) was young. No one was to be trusted. Like that is something that is just… not your crones, not your best friends, not your management, not your step dad. The person at the end of the day that you are to trust is your mum,’ Amorosi said, breaking into tears.

‘She’s there because she really loves me and doesn’t need anything else from me other than for me to be her daughter. And so as time progressed, and I made more money, and I became more successful, everybody became the enemy.

‘Boyfriends were enemies, husband was the enemy. She was to be the only one there with the right intentions, and I believed it.’

After enduring a long trial that became a media circus, Amorosi won the case and was awarded the Narre Warren North home her mother claims she had been gifted.

But it was not a complete victory for Amorosi, who was ordered to pay her mother $650,000 plus $219,486.33 in interest in the form of ‘restitution’.

Ms Robinson claimed a brain aneurysm her daughter allegedly suffered before the birth of her son Killian made her forget the agreement.

In court, Ms Robinson argued that she struck a deal with Amorosi in 2001 for full ownership of the Narre Warren North home in exchange for a future one-off payment of $650,000.

She claimed the agreement was that if Amorosi ever hit financial difficulty, Ms Robinson would pay her the original $650,000 purchase price of the Narre Warren home.

Court documents showed Ms Robinson and her husband, Peter, transferred $710,000 from the sale of their home to help pay off Amorosi’s $1.2million mortgage in California in 2014.

On Sunday, Amorosi angrily refuted her mother’s claim that she’d suffered an aneurysm, leading to losing her memory and being manipulated by others.

‘It’s a straight-up lie. Do you know how angry that makes me, that in front of the whole country, (she is) taking away my credibility, (suggesting) that I’ve lost my mind,’ a clearly furious Vanessa said.

‘It’s infuriating because it’s like you are taking away my credibility.’

Amorosi said she felt silenced by her mother since childhood, and the aneurysm claim reflected a pattern where she was ‘conditioned’ to appease her.

The hitmaker said that she was heartbroken that she had lost her family over money.

‘You know that saying, “A mother’s love is unconditional?” Her love is conditional. And that’s the only way I can make it simple,’ she concluded tearfully.

Last year, Ms Robinson said she believed her daughter had been manipulated by lawyers.

‘A lot of what’s happened, as a mum, doesn’t even sound like my daughter,’ Ms Robinson told Daily Mail at the time. 

‘It sounds like her lawyer. It sounds like she’s got a good, strong lawyer that’s doing everything and Vanessa is the type of person, if she doesn’t understand it, she’ll just let them deal with it.’
