Robin Givens-Oprah

From AccessHollywood

Oprah Winfrey apologized to Robin Givens on Friday’s episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” over how she dealt with a comment made by the star’s ex, former boxer Mike Tyson, last month.

“I was really hurt, really, really hurt,” Givens told Winfrey of the TV show host’s and her audience’s reaction to the boxer’s October “Oprah” show comments about the actress’ 1998 Barbara Walters interview. Tyson previously claimed on Oprah’s show that Givens lied during the interview and he added, “At that particular moment, I truly wanted to sock her, but I didn’t do it,” as the “Oprah” audience laughed.

Givens, who is a spokesperson for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, said the reaction was difficult to take.

“I just wanted you… When he said ‘I’ve socked her before,’ to say, ‘That’s not right!’ And it wasn’t right and it was painful,” Givens said. “There are so many women like me out there… if you hear laughter about it, it lightens it.”

    After what she and her mother did and took from that man…I never advocate our Kingz hitting our Queens but ladies I remember CLEARLY what this uh..lady did to this man. She became an instant millionaire, on a house of lies. And when dealing with a person Mike she was very fortunate, that all has lost was some tears.

    Wow producer…..I would say that anytime a dude puts his hands on a woman like that he desrves to have every red cent he puts his hands on snatched!! That dumb a$$ should’ve thought twice about hitting her if he loved his money so much. I’m not saying Robin isn’t a gold digger, but hey, anytime you hit a woman (lets just be honest) any wrong she does or has done is absolved….and that’s Point Blank Period!

    ROBIN NEEDS TO GET OVER IT

    Ok, what exactly is Opra appologizing for? All she did was ask a question after he made a comment, she didn’t laugh or even as much as crack a smile after she asked so I don’t get it. I mean isn’t she supposed to ask questions of her quest so the veiwers can get some understanding of what happened or why someone did what ever.

    Mike said what he wanted to do at the time and he was quite honest about it. Robin get another cause please. Oprah please don’t apologize for your audience, it was funny (what he said) but this is the only way she can get on TV now. Mike has been through a lot and he’s paid dearly for it. Seems he has moved on and you haven’t. Let go let god girl. I was even shocked 20 years ago when they did that interview and she called him a manic depressive on nationwide TV. That hurt. She hasn’t worked since.

    Why would she need to do that for something that some one else said, If he did it…. He did it so what…. Its not her concern anyway i understand she is a talk show host and i guess that is her job to do what she needs to do, but when he was talking on her show if she didn’t check him then . why in the hell is she worried about it now. She had the chance to tell Tyson to his face when he was on her show. She said nothing so why kiss ass Now!!!! Apologize for what???? how can you do that for something some one else says. It makes no sense…. Just move on…. Just like both of them did, why keep praying on something that happen a long ass time ago…. One man and one woman’s disagreement and split…. Its a waist on tv time…. I agree with : Baby-Baby, EugeneHolden, hotmommadolla13, KP_2G, producer6tray, CAROBINSONFIEIDS, and nattyredds…. Robin can eat a dick up and hick-up…. move tha f**k on b***h…. and yeah i said it…. if she or anyone has a promblem come holla at me im on the EAST SIDE OF SOUTH CENTERL LOS ANGELES in the hood across from the harbor freeway where tha gangsta’s play…. Where the CRIP’s and tha Blood’s was started….
    Besides that my black planet people keep yo heads up and much respect always to my real people who aint hollywood….
