Rock queen bares bashing by hubby Ike, losing a kidney & new fight for life.
The Proud Mary singer, 78, makes the shocking revelations in her new memoir, My Love Story, in which she describes her hellish marriage to abusive Ike, who she wed in 1962 at age 22.
After the hot-tempered blues musician renamed Anna Mae Bullock “Tina” and recruited her for his band, he decided they’d elope to Tijuana, Mexico.
“There was no point in questioning his motives,” Tina recalls. “It would just make him mad, and that might lead to a beating.”
Though she knew their wedding “was supposed to be emotional and happy,” there was “none of that” — then the day got worse!
“Guess where we went? To a whorehouse. On my wedding night!” she reveals, saying she was near tears as Ike forced her to witness a “live, pornographic sex show.”
