Robin Gavin and Mike Tyson interview with Barbara Walters

Brad Pitt fucked Robin Givens. They were both sexy faced fuckers. Robin did not marry Tyson for love. Mike Tyson WAS a violent animal. Barbara Walters sat there just like a spider. That's her thing.

WHET Robin Givens?

GIVENS, btw.

Gosh she was really super beautiful.

I remember it at the time. Her mother pushed her into that marriage. He was at the height of his popularity, When they asked Robin if she would like to be fixed up with him, she said "why would I want to meet that pit-bull. He had a lot of problems, she was one of them.

She was gorgeous.

It's like someone is talking about you In the 3rd person whilst you're sitting right there beside them!!

Didn’t he try to beat the shit out of her the night this aired and she promptly divorced him

I recall him threatening to kill himself and then driving off and crashing into a tree. She was a two-faced transparent untalented bitch who was only in it for the money.

She’s so gorgeous, who cares about her character?

I remember this. Quite a few people were concerned for her safety immediately after this was televised.

[quote]Does anyone know what was the public reaction after this interview?!

The consensus at the time was, 1. Givens was a manipulative, gold-digging bitch, and 2. Tyson was most likely drugged out of his mind.

Does anyone else remember the LIFE magazine cover? “The Lady and the Champ”

No. Most people were on her side.

Robin is a legend hunny.

I loved Head of the Class and was a Robin fan but I remember her being vilified after her relationship with Mike Tyson. I kind of remember her being looked at as the starlet who took advantage of a violent and retarded albeit wealthy person

I've never forgotten this quote:

[quote]Excerpts of the book provided by its publisher, Warner Books Inc., included Tyson’s recollection of the best punch he ever threw.

[quote]“It was when I fought Robin in Steve Lott’s apartment. She really offended me and I went BAM. She flew backwards, hitting every wall in the apartment,” Tyson recalled. “That was the best punch I’ve ever thrown in my entire life.”

[quote]Tyson and Givens divorced after a brief marriage. The actress had accused her husband of physical violence during their marriage.

[quote]Tyson also details a sadistic viewpoint on sex. “I like to hurt women when I make love to them. . . . It gives me pleasure,” Torres quotes Tyson as saying.

She was lucky to get out alive.

[quote] we’re living with robin givens!

She's been on "Riverdale" in recent years.

The scandal over her marriage to Tyson pretty much destroyed her career for decades. She was doing pretty well until then and had even played the lead in a studio movie--"A Rage in Tarlem"--and was quite decent in it.

She did seem stuck-up, conniving and clearly didn't love Tyson. But she didn't deserve to be abused like that and I cant stand Tyson defenders. Tyson is a violent, narcissistic and misogynistic asshole who is clearly mentally challenged at that that. Apologists make it seem like he was an innocent child and Robin this evil monster. But the fact is, he had no right to put his hands on her and could have just divorced her without harming her.
