After a car accident left singer soul singer Teddy Pendergrass paralysed from the waist down in 1982, media coverage surrounding his "mysterious" passenger Tenika Watson blew up. Although Watson was just a passenger, mainstream coverage, in a disgusting violation of her privacy, put a magnifying glass to her life. Rumours and conspiracies spread of alleged involvement, even going as far as to blame her for the incident. Watson tells her account in her book co-written by Jennifer Daelyn, My Life Is No Accident.
