Then again, life with Tammi surely had its fringe benefits. Nothing close to the precious, fragile protagonist on the classic duets she would record with Marvin Gaye, her image could best be summed up by a line from one of those duets — “I play the game, a fantasy. I pretend but I’m not in reality.” The real Terrell was a hard-drinking, hard-loving, foulmouthed, erratic hornet of a woman — a virtual analog of Ruffin himself. And as she had done while with James Brown, she may have worn the consequences of it all over her body during her sadomasochistic romance with Ruffin.
Most of Motown, including Gordy, who lusted for her as well, looked away from the welts and bruises Terrellcouldn’t hide, rationalizing that she not only willingly stayed in the relationship but never really complained about it. Further, there was the old chestnut that if she was being slapped around, it was just “David being David.” Even today, Otis is no more committal about the subject than the clipped understatement that “David could be kinda rough on a lady at times.”
Within the Motown fraternity, who as students of Gordy were inured to see and treat women as mere objects, neither is Terrell much of a martyr, or even a victim. Because she gave as good as she got, some wonder just which of these two wretched souls had been more abused by the other. Otis, in fact, says that before Terrell hit town, he had “heard things” about her.
“When you’re out there on the road like we were, you hear and see things. We knew all about Tammi and James Brown. We knew how James Brown was about women, that he would flip a woman’s ass. And back then, you wouldn’t ever get the woman’s side so people would assume, family or not, he flipped her ass because she provoked him to.”
Adds Billy Wilson, “When Tammi came to Motown, she as damaged goods, mentally and physically, because of James Brown having beaten the shyt out of her. She was a hostile firecracker, a hot-tempered girl, a real handful. And what happened was, Genna was … see, not everybody kissed his ass. Genna didn’t. She was a thorn in his side. So when she’d gotten kind of dumpy, David went hustling on some major p*ssy. That was the difference between David and the rest of the Tempts. Otis never got major p*ssy. Melvin, Paul, Eddie; they had to settle for lesser p*ssy. David got major p*ssy. Let me tell you, Tammi Terrell was major p*ssy.
“Of course, she also was an accident waiting to happen. She was wild, she’d been turned on to drugs, hard drugs, cocaine. She got David hooked on drugs. That’s a fact. Look, David was an accident waiting to happen too, but she got him into all his destructive behavior. Him roughing her up, I’m not making excuses for that. But it was a factor of what Tammiwas.
And so, whoever was more to blame, these codependents in madness and excess just went ondestroying each other, and for Ruffin the worst consequences of getting “major p*ssy” would become all too clear, all too soon.

Damn, I had no idea

Malcolm X's wife 'said he could not satisfy her in bed' | Daily Mail Online
  • Malcolm X wrote a letter to his mentor, Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad
  • In the note, which he wrote in 1959, Malcolm X confides about his personal life
  • He writes his marriage was failing because he couldn't satisfy his wife in bed
  • Letter is being sold by memorabilia web site for $95,000
Slain civil rights icon Malcolm X acknowledged that his marriage was failing because he was unable to satisfy his wife in bed, it was learned on Sunday.

The stunning revelation was made in a 1959 typed letter written by Malcom X to his mentor, Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, according to the New York Post.

In the letter, X says that his wife, Betty Shabazz, complained that her husband had 'never given her any real satisfaction' and 'said to me that if I didn't watch out she was going to embarrass me and herself (which under questioning she later said she was going to seek satisfaction elsewhere).'

The letter reads: 'The main source of our troubles was based upon SEX.

'She placed a great deal more stress upon it than I was physically capable of doing.

'One day, she told me that we were incompatible sexually because I had never given her any real satisfaction . . . [She] outright told me that I was impotent . . . and I was like an old man (not able to engage in the act long enough to satisfy her) . . . Her remarks like this were very heartbreaking to me.'

Malcolm X was a divisive figure in the 1960s famous for trying to empower the African American community with firebrand speeches during the height of their fight for civil rights in the United States.

A minister for the Nation of Islam, he was considered a great orator and a fierce advocate of black nationalism.

Malcolm X (seen with his wife and two children) was assassinated in New York City in 1965. Betty Shabbaz died in June 1997 from injuries sustained in a fire which was started in her Bronx home by a grandson. She was 63 years old

Malcolm was probably so goddamn stressed by what was going on. Literally FEARING for his life at every second the last thing on his mind was probably sex...
