Vanessa Amorosi looks downcast in all black as she catches a flight out of Sydney amid bitter court battle with estranged mother

And the Australian singer, 42, cut a somber figure as she flew away Sydney Airport on Sunday morning after an undoubtedly emotional week.

The Absolutely Everybody hitmaker was spotted arriving at the domestic terminal with a female friend after a performance at the Grapevine Gathering festival in Hunter Valley, New South Wales on Saturday.

The now California-based pop star flew under the radar in an all-black ensemble consisting of a puffer jacket, T-shirt, track pants and Converse sneakers.

She completed her look with a simple dangling necklace and carried a beige Louis Vuitton handbag and black luggage.

She appeared to be going makeup-free and wore her raven hair in natural waves.

Before checking in for her flight, Vanessa and her boyfriend were seen strolling around and having a serious conversation.

Sometimes the singer could be seen scrolling through her cell phone, perhaps checking out the latest media coverage of her bitter lawsuit against her mother, Mrs. Robinson.

Amorosi filed her lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2021, alleging “unconscionable conduct.”

The court heard that the singer believed her mother had exploited her wealth during the height of her popularity, when she was just a youth.

“She is very generous with my money,” Amorosi said.

Amorosi told the court she had been brainwashed into believing her mother was the only person who could be trusted with the millions of dollars she earned after becoming a star.

“Boyfriends were enemies, husband was the enemy. She would be the only one there with the right intentions, and I believed it,” she said.

The dispute in court centers on two properties: the house in Narre Warren North, which Ms Robinson says was gifted to her by the singer at the height of her fame in 2001; and Ms Amorosi’s home in the US, which is owned by a family business that owes $650,000 to Westpac bank.

At times, the singer was seen scrolling through her cell phone, perhaps checking out the latest media coverage of her bitter lawsuit against her mother, Mrs. Robinson.

“I thought I owned it, but her name was still on the title because… I trusted her 100 percent, so I wasn’t too concerned about taking her name off the title,” Ms. Robinson said in court on Tuesday.

“We had an agreement and I kept that agreement.”

Mrs Robinson had been a cleaner when Amorosi hit the big time after the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

It’s a job she continues to hold to this day, taking home about $1,000 a week.

She has no other assets in the disputed Narre Warren North property.

The civil lawsuit revealed that Amorosi earned just under $1 million in 2001 after appearing on screens during the 2000 Olympics.

But in late 2014, she was evicted from her home in the United States after apparently running out of money.

Last week, Amorosi denied ever giving the property to her mother, who she said had always called it “her dream home.”

Mrs Robinson claims Amorosi promised to buy her the property for $650,000 – money she would pay back to her daughter anytime she asked.

Amorosi failed to hide her despair during the trial, both on the witness stand and in the courtroom.

The trial before Judge Steven Moore will conclude next week.
