Oprah recently interviewed Mike Tyson and during the interview, there was a moment that involved the audience ridiculing Robin Givens, who Oprah sympathized with in the past.
Robin Givens wasn’t very pleased with the outward banter that occurred on the show, and now Oprah is apologizing for the misconduct that took place.
Robin Givens says she was disturbed by Tyson’s reference to wanting to “sock” her after a 1988 Barbara Walters interview and the Oprah audience responded with laughter.
Oprah says on her website that she received a letter from Robin, who is also the spokesperson for the National Domestic Violence Hotline, stating she was “really hurt” that Oprah didn’t do anything to stop the laughs after Tyson’s comment.
Givens actually appeared on the show to respond publicly to Oprah on Friday and said:
“I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t [say] there wasn’t a part of me that wanted you to … say, ‘That’s not right,’” she says. “When there is this laughter, if you are in that situation out there, it kind of lightens it for all the women that are experiencing it.”
Oprah should just stay clear of domestic issues cause she always seems to get into some ~ish.
