Tyson and Givens Are Not For Lovers
On this day in 1989, Robin Givens was officially granted a divorce from Iron Mike Tyson, ending their eight-month made-for-TV marriage which Givens described as "pure hell." She also likened it to a PG-13 movie, "too much violence and not enough sex," (if she thought that one up by herself, I tip my cap to her). Tyson would later refer to Givens as a snake, which she undoubtedly was, and her mother... if you've ever read anything about this affair, you know that Robin Givens' mother is the straight-up Godzilla, Lawrence Taylor, entire Wu Tang Clan showing up in your doorway strapped to the nines of mother-in-laws. Robin Givens brought her mother to her first date with Tyson. It's amazing she didn't have a lawyer and an accountant on hand as well. And a bailiff.
Below is a great Ebony article breaking down the eight-month heavyweight bout that was Givens v. Tyson - The Love Brawl. It was a full-on war, Lady MacBeth and Kid Dynamite, and after a legendary tussle, the Baddest Man on the Planet damn near came out in a bodybag.

i'm ganking that pg-13 line. maybe it'll show up in a freestyle rap, maybe i'll throw it out at a wedding toast as the best man... i'm going to use it.
I've used it a couple of times. I had the same reaction. First time I read it, I was like, "I'm using that shit myself... "
