When Tina Turner spoke to People Magazine in 1981 and told a journalist that she was a victim of domestic violence, it was something that was unheard of at the time.

In the 2021 documentary TINA, aired on the Nine Network, Turner elaborated on some of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her then-husband Ike Turner, marking decades of openness.
