Robin Givens says news of ex Mike Tyson's upcoming biopic opened old wounds in an interview with People published Thursday The biopic is currently in development as set to star Jamie Foxx, 51, as the heavyweight champion Givens, 55, married Tyson, 54, in 1988, but she filed for divorce eight months later in 1989 She famously accused the former professional boxer of abusing her during their relationship Robin told People that, following their divorce, Tyson threatened to 'make [her] life so miserable' that she would take her own life In 2009 Mike admitted to Oprah Winfrey that he had 'socked [Robin] before,' but claimed that the abuse went both ways in their relationship Robin, who has worked to heal herself from trauma, stars on CW's hit series Riverdale Meanwhile, Mike is busy preparing for his fight against Roy Jones Jr. set for November 28 Robin Givens revealed that news of an upcoming biopic about her allegedly abusive ex husband Mike Tyson, 54, reopened old wounds. 'I felt this drop in the pit of my stomach and was like, 'Oh no, here we go again.' I felt like the world was crumbling again,' recalled the actress, 55, in an interview with People published Thursday 'The marriage was eight months of my life and yet [Mike is] still saying slanderous things on his podcast. He's not physically hitting me anymore, but it hurts almost as much.' Tyson's impending biopic, which is currently in development, will star Jamie Foxx, 52, and will focus on the highs and lows of the controversial figure's lengthy career in the spotlight. Mike and Robin became husband and wife in February of 1988, but the marriage was short lived and tumultuous. At that time, Robin was 23-years-old and starring in the hit sitcom Head of the Class, while Mike, 21, was quickly earning prestige in the world of heavyweight boxing. Robin divorced Mike in 1989 after just eight months of marriage because she claimed the boxer inflicted unspeakable abuse on her, both verbal and physical. In her interview with People, the Riverdale star recalled allegedly receiving a threatening phone call from Tyson sometime after their divorce proceedings. 'I remember my ex-husband calling up and saying, 'I've decided I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to make your life so miserable you're going to slit your own throat die.'' She socked me before, as well. It was just that kind of relationship,' he said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8849713/Robin-Givens-says-news-Mike-Tyson-biopic-reopened-old-wounds-regarding-boxers-alleged-abuse.html Although she is no longer legally attached to Tyson, Givens claimed that her ex husband has repeatedly 're-victimized her' by speaking ill of her publicly. For example, Tyson has accused Givens of taking money from him and, most famously, he claimed to have caught her in bed with Academy Award winning actor Brad Pitt at some point in their relationship. Two decades after Robin bravely made her allegations against him, Mike confessed to talk show host Oprah Winfrey that he had 'socked [Robin] before,' but her claimed the abuse went both ways.
