#1 Patrick Swayze's Last Days

It seems the Dirty Dancing star suffered at the hands of his long-time wife, Lisa Niemi who beat him, according to the couple's longtime maid. In his tragic last days, wasting away from savage pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze was imprisoned in a house of horrors, deserted by his cheating, abusive wife, who left the dying star to wallow in his own filth!

#2 Jekyll And Hyde Behavior

The maid was afraid of Lisa, saying 'she would be normal one minute then the next she would be furious at something.' "I was afraid of her," said the former aide. "The things she did to Partick were disgusting, and she was very frightening to work for." The housekeeper who wishes to remain anonymous worked for the couple for over 30 years.

#4 She Was Very Verbally Abusive

According to the maid, Lisa took advantage of Swayze's weakened state caused by his battle with pancreatic cancer. "I didn't see a lot of the abuse but I heard it. When she drank, she would get ‘cabrona' " (Spanish for "bitchy"). And she drank often, according to the maid and family friends. However, she reported that even though she never saw any physical abuse firsthand, Patrick would often appear bruised and lame in the morning after one of the couples "arguments".

#3 Close Friends

The maids account of what happened between the couple before his death is echoed by several family friends. According to one close friend, Patrick's personal hell was made worse in his final months because wife Lisa Niemi kept the actor, who'd shrunk to a pitiful 90 pounds, a prisoner in his own home banning his mother and loved ones from visiting him.

#5 Half His Normal Weight

"As he got sick, he was defenseless," his pal added. "Cancer bought him from 180 pounds to 90 pounds. She always had to upper hand because he wouldn't hit her. He was adamant about never ever laying his hands on her." He also stated that Lisa would slap and scratch at the star before she would take off for an evening of sexual activity out with both men AND women. He said he often begged Swayze to leave Lisa, but he told him that he had made a promise that he never would.

#6 Wife Banned Friends And Family From Visiting

Two months before Swayze died at age 57 in 2009, Niemi, now 60 and remarried, stunned all of Swayze's friends and family by banning anyone from visiting him at their California home called "Rancho Bizarro." One longtime female friend of Swayze's said, "Can you imagine being a mother and not being able to see your dying son before he passes away from such a horrific disease?" She also says that in her opinion what really killed Swayze was a broken heart.

#7 He Would Call Friends After Lisa Passed Out

"She wouldn't even let him go outside the ranch. She pretty much kept him a prisoner," both the housekeeper and friend reported. Apparently, the actor would call old friends or family members late at night once Lisa had passed out drunk. The friend claimed, "I would usually get a 2 AM call from Patrick. It was unusual but yet again that was Lisa, she was crazy that way."

#8 His Younger Brother Took Care Of Him

The maid disputed claims that Lisa made when she said she took care of her husband, instead saying that his brother, 57, took care of him. "Donnie did everything for Patrick. He would take care of him, feed him and take him to the doctor appointments." She said, "Lisa would be gone for hours doing whatever she was doing and Donnie would come in and Patrick would be lying in his own feces and pee," the maid said. "Donnie would then clean him up and put him back to bed or take him for a walk. That was before Lisa banned visitors to the estate."

#9 Lisa Denies The Charges

They were the picture of a healthy and fun loving couple but if the rumors are true, it seems his wife really took it to him in a forceful way. They met and began dating when Patrick was only 15 years old. Lisa Niemi says that the story being told by former employees and friends is 'categorically untrue.' However, it was during the short days before his ultimate death, when he had no outside contacts, that Swayze changed his will and left his $40 million and the estate to his wife and not a cent to anyone else. She has since sold the estate for a hefty profit and remarried.
