SOON AFTER OUR engagement, I was at the Bellagio hotel in Los Angeles, where Tony and I were staying. He went off on the worst fit of rage I had ever seen. After snorting tons of blow, he got angry and choked me unconscious. When I woke up, I saw him holding a chair above my head. It was a big, heavy leather chair with studs around the arms, and he was about to smash it over my face. I rolled over, and luckily I moved fast enough that he missed me and the chair smashed into the ground.

I ran for the door because I knew he wouldn’t go out into the hallway in his underwear. I got into my car and drove to the closest place I felt safe, which was Nikki’s house. I couldn’t let my parents see me like this. My father would have murdered Tony Iommi. Literally.

I showed up at Nikki’s with some hair ripped out and hand marks around my throat. Nikki said, “What happened to you?” I explained what Tony had done.

“He could have killed me,” I told Nikki. “He hit me in the head and gave me a concussion.”

Nikki said to me, “I’ll be right back; I have something that will help make you feel better.” He got in his Porsche and drove over to his friend Robbin Crosby’s house. He came back with heroin.

“Are you crazy?” I said to him. “I don’t do heroin, Nikki.”

“It will take the pain away.”

And I was in so much pain. My heart ached more than anything. I was willing to try anything. I snorted a little bit of it, because I refused to shoot it after that horrible experience when I shot it with Joey Ramone’s girlfriend.

I curled up on Nikki’s water bed and fell asleep. My head was pounding from the concussion. I could barely move. Nikki let me have his bed that night while he slept on the sofa.
