Tina Turner once turned around Cher for advice on how to escape her abusive marriage Ike Turnerthe “Believe” icon appears in her memoir.
In “Cher: The Memoir, Part One,” the singer explains that the Turners appeared twice on her TV show, which she launched after her tumultuous Son Bono broke up – and during a backstage chat in April 1975, Tina asked her point-blank, “Tell me how you left him.”
Cher revealed that Tina’s raw question came after she showed up in her dressing room needing help to hide a bruise on her arm.
While helping her, Cher wrote, “I looked at her and told her, ‘I just walked out and kept going.'”
Cher said Tina’s plea took her back to when she called Lucille Bal for advice on leaving Sonny – citing Lucy as someone who also went through it and left her husband, Desi Arnaz.
Tina eventually filed for divorce from Ike a year later in 1976. She later opened up about their abusive relationship in her 1986 memoir “I, Tina” and her 2018 book “Tina Turner: My Love Story.”
