I agree media has the power to destroy anyone, but in this case I believe what the movie showed, and what Tina wrote in her autobio. Only they know the entire truth, but it looked very reliable in the book.

I agree, when I just read the thread title, I made a surprise expression, my fellow at job asked me what was happening.
And even he seemed to be a bad guy, I felt a little sadness. Poor Ike.. I guess he never found hapiness. But Tina did it. She could get over it, survive, and found hapiness with herself.
