Data Mike Tyson and Robin Givens from Divorce Records
After only one year of being together, Robin Givens filed for divorce
due to spousal abuse. In public divorce records, Givens described her
marriage with Tyson as “torture, pure hell and worse than
anything I could ever imagine”. She said that Tyson would
constantly stalk her and was suspicious about everything she did
outside the house. He would beat her even when she was asleep which
prompted her to end their relationship legally in court.
Givens stated that Tyson was a manic-depressive who would suddenly have
fits of rage and was indeed a very violent man. She never bore a child
to Tyson although she did have a miscarriage earlier in the
relationship.
Tyson retaliated by suing Givens and filing for annulment which was
rejected in court. He stated that Givens was basically just after his
money. Tyson was worth $50 million at the time and his wife was asking
for a $10 million settlement. Not only that, Tyson was declaring that
she was ruining his reputation and career because of her open
statements directed negatively upon him. The court provided restraining
orders for Tyson to stay away from Givens throughout the duration of
their separation. The divorce was finalized on Valentine's Day in the
Dominican Republic.
