    I read that Tyson cornered Damon Wayans in a club restroom in Los Angeles because Wayans made a Saturday night live skit making fun of Tyson's voice. Tyson apparently told Damon Wayans that if he did it again there would be trouble.

    He also was at a party with Michael Jordan I believe in 1988 and was drinking and apparently started asking MJ "did you **** my *****"? And it looked like Tyson was ready to get violent so they were trying to distract Tyson and calm him down while they spirited MJ away out of the back door. I guess MJ and Robin Givens had a fling before she was with Tyson.

    And the time between the Michael Spinks and Frank Bruno fights, Tyson and Robin Givens were going through a divorce. But they were still having sex. So Tyson stopped over her house to get him some but she wasn't home. So he sat in the driveway for a minute and she pulls up with Brad Pitt in the passenger seat.

    Apparently, when Brad Pitt saw Mike Tyson he was frozen with fear and I guess he started praying out loud. From what I understand, Brad Pitt was visibly terrified. I think he should have tried to kick Tyson in the nuts then uppercut him while he was hurt. But to each his own.

    Tyson even included the Brad Pitt story into his comedy routine.

    Maybe they're true, maybe they aren't. But I personally wouldn't any stock in any of these stories unless some highly credible witnesses (i.e. not Tyson) cosigned them.

    Tyson eventually admitted that the Brad Pitt story is false and that he exaggerated things because he thought it sounded funnier. He said that Pitt didn't seem scared at all when he met him.
