Robin Givens was seen as the epitome of Kanye West’s smash single “Gold Digger” when she married a Mike Tyson in his prime, but then it was cemented when she filed for divorce after merely eight months in February 1988. Givens later told Barbara Walters that Tyson was manic depressive and that she lived a “life of horror” with the boxer. In divorce papers, she states that Tyson “has throughout our marriage been violent and physically abusive, and prone to unprovoked rages of violence and destruction.”
