"I am quite shocked, but at the same time I was aware of the situation and the medical condition of my mother-in-law" begins to testify Afida Turner in front of Cyril Hanouna. She then details that she received a sign as she arrived at the Cannes Film Festival for the climb of the steps: "I believe a lot in spirituality, God and signs. I arrived and I show one of my assistants where Tina lived." A few minutes later, she receives the message that tells her the sad news.
Accomplice with Tina Turner
Afida Turner then recounts her memories in this family like no other. "Only I could be accepted into this family because leather dresses, howls and plate breaks were part of the menu at the Turners. So it was perfect for me, I was really accepted." With the rock 'n' roll legend, she "had a lot of similarities in character." Their first meeting was in a hotel. Very direct, the interpreter of What's Love Got to Do with It questions him about his intentions. Afida Turner reportedly replied: "No money, but a manager". An answer that has more to the singer recently deceased. Tina Turner appreciated the courage of her daughter-in-law, to have "made herself", as she tells it tonight on C8. "I feel like I was chosen by this family," she says.
A colossal legacy
The question of inheritance is then asked on the set of "Touche pas à mon poste". The fortune of Tina Turner is estimated between 250 and 400 million euros. Being naturalized Swiss, the law of this European country should apply and be beneficial to her husband and two children still alive. If other people can inherit part of his estate, it is only on the condition of a mention in his will. On these details, Afida Turner refuses to speak tonight. "I'm here to pay tribute to my mother-in-law," she repeats while stressing that today, she is "the only one with the name of Turner".
