'Ikette' Robbie Montgomery Reacts to Ike Turner Interview about Hitting Tina Turner (Flashback)

In the wake of Tina Turner's passing and the resurfacing of an old Ike Turner interviews circulating outlining the details behind his abuse of Tina, in this VladTV Flashback from 2014, Miss Robbie Montgomery and her son Tim Norman, owners of the St. Louis soul food restaurant chain Sweetie Pie's, sat down to discuss Robbie's years working as an "Ikette" for Ike and Tina Turner. She recalled how Ike was in control of all of the business dealings of his and Tina's career, and how he never allowed himself to reveal the physical abuse he subjected Tina to in public. While Montgomery never actually saw Tina being abused, she and the rest of the Ikettes knew it was happening because Tina would have injuries on her face afterwards. She stated that she believes Ike Turner "was a little crazy."

The irony of her calling Ike “a little crazy” while she’s sitting right next to a murderer.

[jtt]

…😢little did she know at the time that her son Tim far worse than an Ike…

[kati]

She seems like the type of person who will gloss over things, not wanting to "get involved". "...nothing to do with us. "

[rootedinlove]

One thing vlad ain’t gone do is miss a Flashback 😂 Rip Andre

[BernardSmith-teld]

Looking at Tim. I still can't believe he set his own nephew up to get killed😡😡

[jeniferr]

To even ask if Tina was a little crazy frustrates me. Dig deeper if that’s the question you have after hearing that interview.

[hernanalovesher]

It’s disgusting to see her son the psychopath sitting there.

[breskinner]

So he basically was beating on Tina and blaming it on a "mood adjustment". That mofo was psychotic

[tiffanywallace]

I'm sure this was taped way before her son did what he did....

[anwion]

It's like a scar that wouldn't go away that film was an all time classic well portrayed

[terranceof]

Meanwhile she refused to defend her grandson against being murdered by her child such phonies smh utter disgust at least Ike was honest tho 😂😢

[RestRelaxUnwind]

I don’t like how dismissive her attitude towards the situation is. “Tina didn’t have anymore than us”…THE TALENT. People were there for her.

[countmackular]

Ike never set up a murder of a family member. :-|

[Horroractress]

I am crazy also. Have suffered from serious mental illness and addiction to violence. I will go off on anyone and, I am seeking therapy now. I still have mental outbursts. I can just off and be aggressive. I don’t blame Ike but it is still wrong and awful. If you have bipolar disorder or PTSD seek help.

[reginalondon]

That is an old interview. I am sure that she didn't know that Tim had killed her grandson. Tim has caused his mom a lot of pain.

[babyscarr]

I got PTSD and bipolar anxiety and schizophrenia and epilepsy sezuire after I had passed from my brain 🧠 tumor surgery last year and my grandma taught me never hit a women 💁🏿‍♀️👋🏿 unless they hit you first sound 👂🏿 to me Ike Turner was a true narcissist I'm only 25 and ik that but rest in paradise 👼🏿 🕊️ Tina Turner 💯

TIM IS THE CRAZY SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HER

[JK-mohl]

Now Ms. Robbie you know he sounded crazy talking about he smacked a grown woman to change her mood. That’s domestic violence. You can’t go around hitting people. I’m sure if he smacked you, you would have stomp him.

[naturalmystic]

Yeah Ms. Robbie ain't saying much she was sleeping with Ike too. All the Iketts did.

[seronica]

Ike was a horrible person but Tim is way worse! At least Ike never set up anyone to be murdered.
