According to Baskin, Lewis was obsessed with sex and would frequently fly to Costa Rica (where he had substantial real estate holdings) to have affairs – timing the trips for whenever she was menstruating.[17][18] In July 1997, Lewis filed a restraining order against her, claiming that she had threatened to kill him; the restraining order was rejected.[19] Baskin claims that he filed the restraining order because she would haul off some of his "junk" property whenever he visited Costa Rica.[18] Lewis continued to live with Baskin afterwards.[4] Lewis told her multiple times that he wanted a divorce, but she did not think he was ever serious about it.[21]
