Mike Tyson On Chris Brown-Rihanna Scandal
Mike Tyson – who was accused of beating former wife Robin Givens and raping Rhode Island beauty queen Desiree Washington – says he can relate to Chris Brown, the 19-year-old singer accused brutually beating his pop star girlfriend, Rihanna.
“It’s none of my business, but you know what I say about that? I understand the situation. I understand passion with young kids,” the former World Heavyweight Boxing Champ told MTV News on Tuesday.
“My personal opinion about that is, he’s just a baby,” adds the former heavyweight champ. “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,” Iron Mike explains.
Chris has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats.
“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.”

chris is absolutely in the wrong.nothing eva can be rationalised about the situation and he shud definately suffer the consequences.yes,im not the one who was beaten up and it’s neva happened to me but im a young woman who knows where the line is and how straight & bold it should be represented.on the other hand,Rihanna is old enough to know what’s right & wrong. if she’s able to distinguish between the two then she’s a step ahead into dealing with the situation.we cannot pass judgement on the decision she takes but support her whatever the cause. she’s great,musically, and thats as far as i would know.so for me to act like i know when i read propagated info about her would make me a hypocrite.her friends should stick by her side if they considr themselves her friends. good luck rihanna, you’ve come this far so don’t throw it away just becoz of a downfall that shoulb be making you stronger. Big Up to you. all my love and support, Niya @ Cape Town
