Tina Turner Describes Abusive and Brutal Sexual Relationship With Ike Turner in New Memoir
LatestThe Daily Mail has acquired a harrowing excerpt from Tina Turner’s upcoming memoir, My Love Story, in which the singer details an abusive sexual relationship with her late ex-husband, Ike Turner. She writes that she didn’t want to marry him, even in 1962, but with four children between them she “didn’t have much choice.” She describes getting married in Tijuana without a license and Ike taking her to a “whorehouse” on their wedding night. Most distressing is the section on the early ‘70s, when Turner claims Ike started abusing cocaine because “someone had told him it would give him more stamina for sex…having sex was practically his full-time job.”
