A man with his own history of assaulting women (he was accused of beating former wife Robin Givens and convicted of raping another woman) Mike Tyson shares with US Magazine how he can understand Chris Brown:
“It’s none of my business, but you know what I say about that? I understand the situation. I understand passion with young kids,”
What does he think Chris Brown’s problem is:
“My personal opinion about that is, he’s just a baby,” ”He’s just a little baby that don’t know how to handle his emotions when it comes to a woman. And he probably hears this and thinks, ‘I know how to handle my emotions’; we all think we do” “But the fact [is],” Tyson continues, “you look at this person and you might be crazy in love, but we don’t know how to handle those feelings”
Tyson blames the ‘pimp mentality’:
“Now you’re a fly guy and a cool guy [you think] … you have to be hard like that,”
He shares his views on violence against women:
“You can’t abuse them,” he tells MTV. “It’s really sick what you [can] do. She has a space in your heart and you believe you care about her more than anybody in the world”.
“Do I think it’s right to beat up a woman? No — hell no,” he adds. “Have I hit a woman before? Hell yeah. Was I wrong? Hell yeah. I’m a product of that environment. Do I regret ever doing that? Hell yeah. Would I do it again? Never.”
