R.I.P.
Ike's Wife: I'm Not Going to Funeral

Posted Dec 21st 2007 12:01PM by TMZ Staff

It's already getting messy! Who's the current wife? Some say it's Jeanette Bazzell, but it seems that Ike and Audrey Madison supposedly lived together for the past ten years and were allegedly married on October 8, 2006. TMZ hears they were in the process of getting a divorce, but had recently reconciled. Can ya beat that?

As to whether Audrey and Ike were actually married -- we have a videotape of the supposed ceremony from Audrey's MySpace.

Mrs. Turner (Audrey) says she will not be attending the funeral service today, because she so disapproved of the "undesirable company" Ike kept in his final months.

16. What's up with all these skanky types marrying old black dudes who used to make music. Married 5 times and who know if he was divorced properly or not. Didn't James Brown have some of these same issues? Next up will be all of the paternity claims from money grubbers who just want a piece of his estate.

21. TMZ, get ALL your facts straight . This woman is NOT Ike's wife. How do I know because she happens to be white! And your mis-information to the public about him living and being with her for the last 10 yrs. another BIG lie! My brother and Kato did the Ike Turner Review for Ike in San Diego. His wife was there! My father and Kato (His bodyguard) whom I'm sure you know- as he use to guard Micheal Jackson, and others. Brought the New Year in with Ike in L.A. and then proceeded back to his home in L.A. were upon the met his wife again, and his Mother-in-law. This is very insuting to his real Wife and children! You should be ashamed.

23. TMZ and Audrey "Turner" were both PERSONA NON GRATA at the funeral...TMZ for reporting that the viewing and funeral were public BEFORE the family had even decided whether to go public or not, and also for showing a picture of Ike lying in state. Both were firmly against the family's wishes. Audrey is NOT Mrs. Turner; she was divorced from Ike shortly after the two were married and has been essentially stalking the man since then. She's very talented as a singer, but absolutely diabolical as a person...even a guy like Ike recognizes evil when he sees it. If I were TMZ, I'd do more research before printing any more articles on this woman...her REAL story and what she's been up to is far more enlightening than the cheap attempts on her part to capitalize on Ike's death. Her motives are like every other hearse chaser: $$$$$
