She
married the deceased musician back in 1962 when she was 22-years old.
The two tied the knot in Tijuana, Mexico and spent their first night
as husband and wife watching a live sex show at a brothel. The What’s
Love Got To Do With It hitmaker was so disturbed by this that she
suppressed the whole thing. Tina confesses that in order to cope with
it, she replaced the memories of the show with a fantasy of a
romantic getaway.
While
talking about the incident, she narrated that people had no idea the
kind of a man he truly was. He dragged his newly wed bride to watch a
live pornographic show hours after reciting their marriage vows.
Through it all, the music icon recalls sitting in that filthy place
wondering exactly the kind of a man she had made the mistake of
marrying.
Tina
also discusses how her wedding ceremony was not what she had imagined
it to be. She could not figure out why Ike would want a quick
ceremony in Tijuana but to question his reasons was not something she
was going to do. Afraid of getting beaten up and having bruises on
her face on her wedding day, she did not complain about tying the
knot there. Even to this day, she is unsure whether the ceremony was
legal and why Ike had chosen to exchange their vows there.
After
suffering for 16 years under her husband’s dominant and abusive
nature, Tina decided to divorce Ike. In 1978, the two went ahead with
divorce but, the music icon did not ask for any kind of settlement or
alimony as she just wanted to be free of his hold once and for all.
Tina is now happily married to Erwin
Bach, the German music executive who gave up one of his kidneys
ensure that his wife survived and did not end her life as she was
planning to, due to several health woes.
