GIVENS' PAST ROMANCE WITH TYSON

Once upon a time, Givens was the most hated woman in America because of her romantic involvement with boxing legend Mike Tyson.

The pair were married for nearly a year before proceeding to court in 1989 for a dual divorce. Before their final court case, they engaged in a lengthy and messy episode characterized by claims from both parties.

Tyson said that his ex-wife tricked him into marriage after faking a pregnancy, wanted his money, and was unfaithful, while the actress revealed that during their union, he was physically violent.

Givens' claims were not warmly received by fans who branded her a gold digger; in the end, she got through the situation with the help of her former lover, Brad Pitt, and her faith.

On the other hand, the boxing legend's accusations were met with a $125 million libel suit, as the actress sued him after she confirmed that his words against her were false.
