Filing starts Morrissey divorce proceedings

the two did have a “sexual relationship” while Ms. Pride was still a minor – something that both parties have previously denied. The complaint outlines how her husband told her to “throw your phone in the river” to hide evidence of the relationship from a police investigation. It also states he had a legislative staffer purchase “burner” phones so the two could keep in contact and he could be informed about the course of the investigation and that the existence of these phones was never revealed to authorities.

When reached by telephone for comment, Sen. Morrissey said his wife had texted him that she would “ruin your life and your political career” following allegations of child abuse the senator had made against Ms. Pride’s boyfriend in January.

Tina Turner, the singer and stage performer who teamed with husband Ike Turner for a dynamic run of hit records and live shows in the 1960s and ’70s and survived her horrifying marriage to triumph in middle age with the chart-topping “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” has died at 83.

Ms. Turner died Wednesday, May 24, 2023, after a long illness in her home near Zurich, Switzerland, according to her manager. She became a Swiss citizen a decade ago.

“She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer,” tweeted Mick Jagger, whom Ms. Turner helped in shaping his own dynamic stage presence. “She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her.”
