Incredibly, considering how long we had been together, there were still people who wanted to believe that Erwin married me for my money and fame. What else would a younger man want with an older woman? Erin always ignored the rumors."

The marriage also saw Turner go through intense bouts of physical abuse. Ike, in his autobiography 'Takin' Back My Name', agrees to the physical violence. "Sure, I've slapped Tina. We had fights and there have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her."
