He wanted to see what it was like to beat up a woman

According to the Sun on Sunday article, Rocky claimed their marriage was ruined after Patrick left her for another woman. She wrote:

While we were on the set of his (1987) movie Can’t Buy Me, Love, he beat me up because he claimed he ‘wanted to see what it was like to beat up a woman!’ I now suffer from arthritis in my hand from where Respondent injured me.

She added

The physical abuse included Respondent breaking my finger when he rushed me to a van and closed the door on my finger.
