Watching this gives me the chills. This is a deeply trauma-bonded relationship. Reminds me of me and my EX. I always defended him to family and friends even after he physically abused me. I think I was trying to convince myself it could work because it was his disorder , not the man I loved, that was making him do the things he did and that I had to be more understanding. He was my everything. My best friend, lover and no one understood me like he did. Things continued getting worse until I had no choice but to extricate myself from the imploding relationship and cut him out of my life after 17yrs of being with each other. He was killing my soul, putting my life in danger, lying to me, controlling me, manipulating, coorcing, cheating and in extreme denial of any problems. Looking back, I very well could have been removed in a body bag. Ladies, don't ignore the red flags. Learn to spot them before it's too late. 🙏😢
I don’t think Barbara believed Givens at all. Givens contradicted herself so many times during that interview and anyone could see she was just lying. Givens knew from start Mike was anti drug so her excuse to get out with all that money was he take drugs or she’s leaving. Mike isn’t dumb, that’s why he let her leave and take her lil 10m. Mike knew she didn’t love him but he was looking for love and just accepted it. Mike had already gave his side to Walter’s (that’s why Walters interviewed him first) so he didn’t have to say anything or defend himself. Mike is no dummy. Hopefully her and her diabolical mother get exactly what they both deserve if they haven’t already.
How really... when I was younger I would of said the same thing, but now watching it as a grown man, how did she use him?? She blatantly said , she will leave him, if be doesn't get help.... pretty straight forward to me! Disrespectful yes ... but using I wouldn't say that
Now this just shows how the media works for the industry and they all work together this is wen they made a Tyson character as a bad guy. Example go Tyson interviews with Cus R.I.P and watch Tyson interviews with his original trainers after Cus R.I.P. Don King and Robin Givens got there Claws in Tyson the media they made it there business to take Tyson down. Givens was key to Tyson in bad light to women because of his past. Don King had to get Tyson because he knew Tyson wasn't a fluent reader and cash mull and house name. But Tyson was still winning with Ronny but Don King and Robin Givens broke Rooney and Tyson bond. Then Don King set up the biggest fight in history and took it to Tokyo Tyson looking zone out like he was in interviews with Robin Givens. New trainers didn't bring the boxer cut bag. But in all Tyson knocked Busta out in the 7 round ref didn't count when Busta hit the mat 3 second went past before ref hit the ground to start counting and had look back at Tyson to slow count Busta up. But the media new what it was from start they was pushing that Busta mom R.I.P passed that why he was going to beat Tyson. biggest upset fight but who you think made bank because Tyson wasn't losing and Holyfield and Lennox wasn't F****** with Tyson in his Prime and boxing industry new that they posted to gave Tyson a rematch but they didn't but nobody realize the 4 opponents after Busta they was all better than Busta 1. Henry Tillman 2. Alex Stewart 3. Donovan Ruddock 4. Donovan Ruddock Great Legends R.I.P. But what crazy Tyson was post to fight Holyfield again. See if Tyson beat Douglas he fight Holyfield They loved Holyfield he was there uprising star there Golden boy. So Tyson won 4 in row looking like prime Tyson so the Tyson and Holyfield was finally coming but Don King and boxing industry new Holyfield wasn't ready next Tyson go jail that would been the biggest pay day for Tyson in 91 and to be champion again but they didn't want Tyson as face of boxing. Tyson was dangerous he was stopping boxers careers before there careers got started and retired veteran Boxers. That why media and boxing organization made it like when Tyson took his 3 Loses they said Tyson can't fight tall fighters with long reach 😂.
09:28 When he took a moment to teach this particular psychic leech about avoiding emotionalism (which was the staple pap that she peddled to the prurient), she was so disgusted by the audacity that he was momentarily as close to being knocked out as he ever came. Only the pigeons and D'Amato made it obvious what they wanted, and what they wanted was pure. The rest wanted for themselves all that he could create, until he was spent. The pernicious promoters, interrogators and pill-prescribers could only prove all of the suspicions to be true. His success, like anybody's, was to do what he promised. The pigeons were cared for, and Cus was proud. If we let down our children by abandonment, they may never quite believe that someone could love them.
I remember this interview back in 1988. You can see it in Mike's face that she was a lieing witch!! They both were driving Mike crazy and toying with his mind. She and her mother ruined Mike's career because both were gold diggers and wanted all his money!! She never had a career because she wasn't a good actress and it shows in this interview.
Ughhh so Robyn's mother just lied wen everyone knows she wanted to control Mike Tyson finances smh Robyn lied Abt being pregnant and having a miscarriage they both just wanted to be around that man for his money and why was her mother even living in the house wit them smh
Tyson was actually at the doctor's appointment with her where the miscarriage was confirmed by her doctor. Tyson himself has stated this. So no she didn't fake a miscarriage.
Robin Givens gets a very bad rap, and yeah she was kinda foul for airing his business out like that. But, it was her who found out Cayton, who Cus never liked, was funny with the money. Mike now admits, he wasnt the best husband to her
Mike didn't trust Cayton, even though Cus was the one who brought Cayton in to manage Mike, because he DID trust Cayton!!.... And definitely didn't trust Don King & Bob Arum. Somehow that never registered with Mike??..... Robin and her Mom,Don King all did a number on him,Mike fell for the okie Doke!!!!
passive racism, she was not expecting the intelligence she got from Mike, silly woman
Robin doesn’t think she’s black that’s her problem.
It may not be race, fighters have a sterotype of being brainless brutes..
He has such a underrated intelligence
I love Mike Tyson
@@colinfrancis3183 I love him to, he was my hero growing up up and he still is today and I love Hulk Hogan also
Me too
What kinda remark was it when she said to him you weren't born with any of this....? Absurdity!!

And just like Barbara Walter's here you are playing the victim
@SolarFlare-b7d here you are like Mike with women believing they asked for it
Barbara is just wrong for the interview 😮 the questions are just crazy and on some Wendy Williams type level!
She was bullying him. The same way as she did with MJ.

you could see the judgment on her eye and voice... but you also could see Mike bet her up with words! A true legend.
She just used Mike
Definitely 💯 TRUTH.
How really... when I was younger I would of said the same thing, but now watching it as a grown man, how did she use him?? She blatantly said , she will leave him, if be doesn't get help.... pretty straight forward to me! Disrespectful yes ... but using I wouldn't say that
Robin looks just like her mom, they were the most talked about couple that year, 1988.
I never could stomach Barbara Walter's.
She’s evil
Same with Diane Sawyer. I think Diane Dawyer is worse. She did Britney Spears dirty and other people.
Robin Givens and her mother leeches the both of them .
Evil women power
He’s the abuser
Indeed, and now we are at a time where women abuse that power even more
@@noelimon2531 shut up
@@Prettygirltrauma are you evil ?
@@LanceBoyle-z2g he abused her he’s a disgusting person
It's funny how the media blows things way beyond proportion.. 🤷♂️
“I do encourage her to hang in there” yeah, it’s about money
Great interview👍
Did she just lie on public television? 😂
Yes.
People do it all the time
❤if you talking about Robin her and her mother lied on that man
Yes yes yes
Wait Mike ain't dumb, shy or remissed holding his tongue IF SHE LIED Mike would've said something
Lol she was making a romantic story about how they met, then Tyson said "She was just another girl, but then.."
Damn..Mike was so intelligent. He never got credit for how intelligent he was. Today he’s like Yoda.
She's evil never liked her ...just leave him instead of embarrassing him like that .I feel sorry for him here 😢 she never loved him !
27:51 mike rolling his eyes.
MY BARBARA WALTERS IS GONE ❤❤
She and her mum played him like a fiddle.
Now this just shows how the media works for the industry and they all work together this is wen they made a Tyson character as a bad guy. Example go Tyson interviews with Cus R.I.P and watch Tyson interviews with his original trainers after Cus R.I.P.
Don King and Robin Givens got there Claws in Tyson the media they made it there business to take Tyson down. Givens was key to Tyson in bad light to women because of his past.

1. Henry Tillman
2. Alex Stewart

Great Legends R.I.P.
But what crazy Tyson was post to fight Holyfield again. See if Tyson beat Douglas he fight Holyfield They loved Holyfield he was there uprising star there Golden boy.

I wonder what he did to her after that interview
09:28 When he took a moment to teach this particular psychic leech about avoiding emotionalism (which was the staple pap that she peddled to the prurient), she was so disgusted by the audacity that he was momentarily as close to being knocked out as he ever came. Only the pigeons and D'Amato made it obvious what they wanted, and what they wanted was pure. The rest wanted for themselves all that he could create, until he was spent.

yes to character
I remember this interview back in 1988. You can see it in Mike's face that she was a lieing witch!! They both were driving Mike crazy and toying with his mind. She and her mother ruined Mike's career because both were gold diggers and wanted all his money!! She never had a career because she wasn't a good actress and it shows in this interview.
Rich people don't even live like this anymore.😂
Barbara Walter's was on it
Ughhh so Robyn's mother just lied wen everyone knows she wanted to control Mike Tyson finances smh Robyn lied Abt being pregnant and having a miscarriage they both just wanted to be around that man for his money and why was her mother even living in the house wit them smh
Tyson was actually at the doctor's appointment with her where the miscarriage was confirmed by her doctor. Tyson himself has stated this. So no she didn't fake a miscarriage.
Robin givens has evil eyes very very 21:07 evil.Wonder why Mike didn't notice them.
Lolol yeah she knew she wasn't signing a prenuptial...lolol..don't like Robin at all..
He was wronged he was innocent
Something not right hang in there if he is a threat too you and your daughter is insane
Barbara should of been asking Mike why he’s hanging in there. The monster here is Robin.
You can have physical abuse, mental abuse can cause suicide.
Robin Givens gets a very bad rap, and yeah she was kinda foul for airing his business out like that. But, it was her who found out Cayton, who Cus never liked, was funny with the money. Mike now admits, he wasnt the best husband to her
I wish they stayed together!
Cutto's to Robin Givens for leaving!!!
Omg this is awful.
Sysbm
Mike didn't trust Cayton, even though Cus was the one who brought Cayton in to manage Mike, because he DID trust Cayton!!.... And definitely didn't trust Don King & Bob Arum.
Somehow that never registered with Mike??.....
Robin and her Mom,Don King all did a number on him,Mike fell for the okie Doke!!!!
