The bitter past of Robin Givens and Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson's relationship with Robin Givens came to an end in 1989, after the actress filed for divorce due to spousal abuse.
However, the pair had to relive some unpleasant memories with the release of the documentary Mike Tyson: The Knockout. Robin Givens' infamous interview and the post-divorce fallout between herself and Mike Tyson were well-documented in the first episode of the two-part ABC docu-series.
During the aforementioned interview with Barbara Walters, Givens revealed Tyson had a "volatile temper" and claimed that the heavyweight boxer intimidated her by swinging his fists at her.
"He has got a side to him, that's scary. Michael is intimidating, to say the least... he cannot control his temper, and that is frightening to me and my mother. He gets out of control, throwing screaming. He shakes, he pushes, he swings," said Robin Givens.
The boxing star, however, denied his ex-wife's claims of domestic violence and spousal abuse.
