Ike Turner’s daughter Mia is calling foul on a brutal rape scene depicted in the 1993 Tina Turner biopic, What’s Love Go To Do With It. In the scene, Ike sexually assaults the iconic singer.
But according to an interview with Daily Mail, Mia — whose mother Margaret Ann Thomas was a former Ikette singer who became pregnant with her while Ike and Tina were married —emphatically denies anything like that ever took place, information that apparently came straight from Tina.
‘That rape did not happen,” she said. “Obviously I wasn’t there that night, but after I saw the movie I called Tina’s sister Aillene and said, ‘What in the world?’ She then called Tina and confirmed to me that it never happened.'”
Before Ike’s passing, he denied raping and beating Tina in his own autobiography, 1999’s Takin’ Back My Name. However, he did admit to hitting Tina during their tumultuous relationship which began in the late 1950.
“Sure, I’ve slapped Tina,” he said. “There have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her.”
Mia said she discovered parts of What’s Love Got To Do With It A were changed after Tina signed off on the film.
“We find out later it was tweaked,” she explained. “It was made Hollywood, so there’s quite a few scenes, primarily the rape scene. It didn’t happen. In Hollywood, sex sells, whether it’s good, bad or indifferent.”

Tina was able to escape Ike’s abuse in 1976 when she fled from the Dallas Hilton hotel across a highway after Ike had allegedly beaten her in the back of a limousine.
“My mother was in the car with Ike and Tina and we spoke about this several times,” Mia said. “My mother said, ‘Anna Mae, Ike’s out, this is your chance. You’re not going to get out if you don’t leave now. Run and don’t ever look back.’ And that’s what Tina did.”
Ike and Tina ultimately divorced in 1978.
Mia, who is working on her own documentary about Tina and her father, plans to tell the true story of Ike Turner — not the one that only details his drug addiction and abuse.
Ike died on December 12, 2007 at the age of 76. The San Diego County medical examiner determined the cause of death was an accidental cocaine overdose, but he was also suffering from emphysema and COPD.
These be lying. Tina know she let Ike hit all the time.

I have had asthma my whole life but about 5 years ago my asthma got so bad and I was diagnosed with emphysema/COPD which was most likely due to the asthma. I was on double antibiotics and steroids, still didn’t feel any better. I already used Advair, Spiriva, and albuterol in my nebulizer, they just didn’t do much. It was awful for me due to the difficulty in breathing, nothing gave me better relief from the severe breathlessness and Wheezing till i started on this COPD Herbal from Organic Herbal Clinic ( w ww.organicherbalclinic.c om )Its been 4 months since i completed the Emphysema Herbal Formula, all my symptoms are gone including constant coughing, i breath very much easier and can never be thankful enough to nature
“Sure, I’ve slapped Tina,” he said. “There have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her.”
????? What a fucking douche.
I was his last drummer and also the one who called 911 when he passed.
We (The Kings of Rhythm) all showed up that morning to help lift his spirits because he had been really down and sick. But the real reason we were there was because Ike said “I can do anything when my band’s behind me… I’m fearless!”; we were put there by some higher power to help him do the things he needed to pass on.
Yes, he died of a cocaine OD. But the Ike I remember never touched drugs or alcohol. That old monster was brought back into his life by a family member who got him back on the drugs by blowing a big ol’ cloud of crack smoke into his face one night at a party, or at least that’s what was told to me by reliable sources. That happened about 2005-2006.
Love him or hate him, Ike was an innovator. He may not have been the most literate man on the planet but he knew how to build something and for a guy who carried as much stigma as did he, a man who gets out of prison and immediately starts to rebuild himself to do several successful tours and a Grammy winning album ain’t too bad.
I miss Ike every day. He turned out in his last days to be a somewhat decent man and while we had our spats, that ol’ horse’s ass was a pretty awesome Dude. And I still to this day keep a couple of Benjamins on my person in case he ever comes back and starts that mess about “You still owe me $300”. I got your money, Eki. Love you man.
