Robbie Montgomery: "Ike Turner Was a Little Crazy"

Miss Robbie Montgomery and her son Tim Norman, owners of the delicious St. Louis soul food restaurant chain Sweetie Pie's, sat down for an exclusive interview with VladTV to discuss Robbie's years working as an "Ikette" for Ike and Tina Turner. She recalled how Ike was the boss and in control of all of the business dealings of his and Tina's career, but never allowed himself to reveal the physical abuse he subjected Tina to in front of a public audience. While Miss Robbie 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."

After recalling her years as an Ikette, Robbie opened up her Sweetie Pie's restaurant chain and revealed that she now works with her son Tim as a partner and co-owner of the company. Sweetie Pie's is recognized as having "the best mac-N-cheese in the midwest," and if you don't believe them, be sure to stop by and grab a plate if you're ever in the St. Louis area.
