Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, recently shared a surprising story about the time he caught Brad Pitt with his ex-wife, Robin Givens. In a recent interview, Tyson opened up about the incident and how it made him feel at the time.
What happened with Brad Pitt and Robin Givens
The incident took place in the late 1980s, when Tyson was married to Givens. According to Tyson, he came home one day to find Pitt and Givens in a compromising position.
“I was doing a divorce but every day, before I would go to my lawyer’s office to say she’s a pig and stealing, I would go to her house to have sex with her,” Tyson said. “This particular day, someone beat me to the punch. And I guess Brad got there earlier than I did.”
Tyson was furious when he found Pitt and Givens together, but he says that Pitt didn’t seem to be too bothered by the situation.
‘Iron’ Mike claimed that he was “mad as hell.” However, Pitt was dumbfounded by the entire scenario. Tyson recalled that, “You should have saw his face when he saw me.” He contemplated smashing Pitt. But he could not do it as Tyson found Pitt to be a “sweetheart.”
Despite his anger, Tyson says that he didn’t end up fighting Pitt, as he was too shocked by the situation to act on his emotions.
Tyson handled that situation calmly. Contrary to his in-ring persona, Tyson backed off. The ferocious boxer went back to his car with a wry grin on his face. While doing so, he reassured Pitt that he was not going to get involved in this.
Mike Tyson had a rough marriage nonetheless
Tyson’s story has been met with a mixed reaction from fans and the media. Some have praised him for his honesty and openness, while others have criticized him for his behavior towards his ex-wife.
Regardless, Tyson’s story has shed some light on the complicated nature of his relationship with Givens, who he was married to from 1988 to 1989. The couple’s marriage was famously tumultuous, with allegations of abuse and infidelity on both sides.
In the years since their divorce, Tyson has spoken openly about his regrets and the mistakes he made during his marriage to Givens.
As for Brad Pitt, he has not commented publicly on the incident. To this day, it is unclear how he feels about Tyson’s recollection of events. However, some have speculated that the incident may have had an impact on Pitt’s future relationships. The esteemed actor has been known to be more private about his personal life in recent years.
Overall, Tyson’s story is a reminder that even the biggest celebrities are not immune to the ups and downs of life. Sometimes, even the most unexpected situations can arise. Whether or not Tyson’s story will have any lasting impact on the public’s perception of him or Givens is up for debate. One thing is for sure though: it is a story that will not soon be forgotten.
