EXCLUSIVE: 'Daddy did not rape Tina…he messed up our family but he was not a monster!' The daughter of Ike Turner and his backup dancer breaks her silence to DailyMailTV on his relationship with her 'loving second mother' Tina Turner
Mia Turner (inset), the daughter of Ike Turner and his backup singer Margaret Ann Thomas (circled bottom right with Tina and Ike) has broken her silence about her father's relationship with Tina Turner. The 50-year-old says Ike never raped Tina and the violent scene in the movie about Tina's life was 'fictionalized'. She said: 'Obviously I wasn't there that night…but after I saw the movie I called Tina's sister and she then called Tina and confirmed to me it never happened'. Mia said Tina was her 'other mother', adding: 'I was like the daughter she never had, we did everything together. There's one picture that gets me teary-eyed (left). I had been outside, I was dirty from head to toe. Tina cleaned me up and said, ''You are a princess, you are a lady''. She describes a happy childhood where on weekends the house was full of 'aunts and uncles' like Natalie Cole, the Gap Band and Chaka Khan. Mia said she is skeptical that Ike (pictured top right days before his death) died from an accidental cocaine overdose because of his poor health, but ‘can’t dwell on it’.
