@Sigh
Yes, where was the man stuttering or struggling lol? He was caught up in emotion.
God bless him, we all trying to get thru this life the right way, Lord have mercy.., well @ least I’d like to think most us are
@ Judah
Lmao! Well, ya know, I’m gonna have to look up the word “articulate”, cause I am damn certain that I must have the wrong definition! Haha..
We are happy for you!! That was very couragous of you to let us your life. Oprah ask a lot of good questions this time…Good interview…. I like Mike myself…. Hey he will be 400million strong again..nd hey ole grl know that…. the wife didn’t sound like she was very smart..
Great interview!!
Oprah must really need ratings. GAY-Z and now Mike Tyson? She must be desperate.
I agree with Judah. This was a little off. I read the post and saw a minute of the clip and new it was some BS. I was thinkin that he probably wants more business opportunities from the elite so he has to let Oprah’s black man hating self pounce on him and emasculate him a bit and then he’s in there. I didn’t think about the sacrafice part though. Uugghh. I hope not.
very moving interview!!!
He never had the best education so what do you expect from his speech?
@Sigh
That’s just you’re way of saying that you find how he expresses himself funny. I laughed at some points too, but that does not make him inarticulate. He has no problem, or fear, expressing his true feelings. Oprah, on the other hand, detests black men and will never “articulate” that, because I doubt that there are words in the English language to express the level of hate she has lol.
Thanks for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!
Uuugghhh, Oprah was at least slightly condescending throughout the whole interview. She often takes that stance with black men. Every since she proclaimed that she didn’t like Luda’s music on her show when he specifically there for a new movie, I started giving her the side eye. She definitely lost my vote a long time ago. But, the interview will be useful in a study session.
I think he is still using drugs, but I love him, regardless.
Go Mike Go….
I thought it was a good interview…I really felt him and I can’t wait to see the movie.
@Judah: When Mike stated that Cus D’Mato received him from a group home by the manager of the group home. I immediately gathered that there was some form of underground child molestation going on. Yes, I believe that Cus was a homosexual and that Mike was molested by Cus. Mike cried as if he was angry and hurt, when talking to Oprah about Cus. I did not take it as though he missed him. I felt he was crying OUT! Mike was violated by this man and many others. I feel that Mike was taken advantage by men and women. To this day I feel that his current wife is taking advantage of him now. I think he knows it as Mike exclaimed, “She is in denial”. I feel that Oprah was a little too harsh on him. Her interview was not compassionate at all with him. It was rough and cold. That is too bad. She knows this man is a manic depressant and she took advantage of his mental illness. She is no psychologist as she tries to be… Mike is very tormented by his past. I pray all goes well for him beyond this point in life. I do not see him with KiKi Spicier (wife) for long. She is trying to get her 15 minutes and her money. She made an complete fool of herself when she said that he IS bonding with their daughter. He (MiKe) does silly things with her he dances… She so juvenille and naive…
@judah u make interesting points i always enjoy your post very deep and insightful but as the ‘female tyson’ i must step in for my fellow cancer tyson in his prime is the BEST point blank period straight from the gutter he has experienced the highest of the high and the lowest of the low he has been abused used and confused his whole life never had a mother which is VERY important in a cancers life we ADORE our children i doubt he sold his child out our children r the air we breathe ask any CANCER tyson has a heart of gold he is everything but stupid vunerable yes, trust the wrong people yes, but stupid no part of the problem is he fought too LONG niggas was just tryin to get a name off Tyson robyn givens and her mother r pure EVIL he didn’t beat that ho up cuz he would have broke her ass in half nor will i believe he raped that beauty contestant he trust the wrong people tyson has a beautiful soul he’s a child of GOD and when GOD is with u who can b AGAINST u
WHY ARE PEOPLE LAUGHING AT MIKE? IT’S NOT FUNNY. I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR HIM. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN HIS LIFE AND HAS BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY SO MANY PEOPLE. HE WAS A REALLY GREAT BOXER. ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME. HE ADMITTED TO BEING A WOMANIZER BUT I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WOMEN WERE NO GOOD AND ONLY SAW DOLLAR SIGNS WHEN THEY LOOKED AT HIM ANYWAY. IMAGINE HOW GREAT HE COULD’VE BEEN IF HE HAD BEEN SURROUNDED BY GOOD, DECENT, HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY, LOVING PEOPLE. AT LEAST HIS CHILDREN BRING HIM JOY. I HATE TO SEE A MAN CRY IT JUST DOES SOMETHING TO ME. YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO COMPASSION. I DARE YOU TO LAUGH AT HIM IF YOU SAW HIM IN PERSON.
@ FEMALE TYSON
EXACTLY. WELL SAID.
Mike Tyson is human! Oprah repeats this mantra over and over as if surprised herself by this fact. Everyone living breathing human on this planet is HUMAN we all struggle, fail and fall. Why are is everyone surprised that this man is part of the Human Race? Because we srensationalize and glorify celebrity to the pint of dehumanization.
Oprah is such a hypocrite, she condemns Chris Brown for his inexcusable actions but she has Mike Tyson on her show?
After watching this interview, makes me want to go and study psychology. Great interview.
I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO FUCK OFF AND STOP JUDGING BECAUSE THIS IS WHY NO ONE WANTS TO TELL PEOPLE SHIT AND EXPOSE THEIR MORE HUMANE SIDE AS YOU FUCKERS STILL HAVE SOMETHING TO FUCKING SAY….
JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED AND JUDGED BUT HE DIED HOPING HE CAN TEACH US A LESSON…NONE OF Y’ALL JUDGMENTAL HYPOCRITICAL FUCKS (WHOMEVER IT IS APPLICABLE TO) CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND SOMEONE’S JOURNEY UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN IN THEIR SHOES…THERE ARE SOME FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE IN THE WORLD AND ALTHOUGH HE MAY NOT BE RIGHT FOR THE THINGS THAT HE DID HE IS A TROUBLED INDIVIDUAL…U TALKED ABOUT HIM WHEN HE DID SHIT, YOU TALK ABOUT HIM WHEN HE TRIES TO GET PPL TO UNDERSTAND HIM FUCK IT…THAT’S WHY PPL BLOW SHIT UP AND ACT THE ASS CUS HUMANS ARE NEVER FUCKING PLEASED…WHEN JUDGMENT DAY COMES JUST HOPE UR NUMBER IS CALLED GOTDAMNIT
