Mike Tyson abused as a child?

Mike Tyson claims he was sexually abused as a child. The 48-year-old retired boxer was snatched off the street when he was seven by an “old man”, who he never saw again after the shocking one-time incident.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s Opie radio show, he said: “He snatched me off the street. I was a little kid … [he was an] old man. He bullied me, sexually abused me and stuff. Never seen him again.”

Mike – who has been married three times and has six children – managed to escape, but never told anyone what had happened. He said: “I just went on with my life.”

And the controversial sportsman – who spent three years in jail after being convicted of rape in 1992 – is unsure whether or not the attack changed him.

Asked if he had changed as a result of the abuse, he said: “I don’t know if it did or not.”

not ashamed

“I don’t always remember, but maybe I do, but I don’t. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed by it.”

The Hangover actor recently admitted he used to share a drug dealer with the late Robin Williams, who committed suicide in August.

He said: “I knew Robin. We’d meet each other. People that deal with this situation, we know each other. We all know each other. We meet each other. I’ve been at a meeting with him, yes. This is very interesting. When I met him, he said, ‘I was waiting for you.’ And he started telling me about somebody I was purchasing something from … . You look up to Robin, so, in my mind, I’m saying to myself, how does he know this low-life dealer that I know?
