According to PageSix, Tyson’s first wife, Robin Givens is ready to go to court for her portrayal in the Mike Tyson’s biopic, in which Jamie Foxx will play the role of Iron Mike.
Page Six exclusively leaved the the lawyers for Givens sent Tyson and Foxx a cease-and-desist letter last month.
The letter, “demands that Mr. Tyson cease and desist from further defaming Ms. Givens, and to put those producing, writing and/or directing the proposed Tyson biopic, and those producing Mr. Tyson’s podcast, on notice that they are to refrain from portraying Ms. Givens in a false, negative and defamatory light.”
Her lawyers state that Givens is allegedly “heartbroken” after having to send the letter, “While [she] has attempted to move on, she still finds herself fighting the abusive, demeaning and false accounts of their relationship by Mr. Tyson nearly 35 years later. It is time for Mr. Tyson to let this marriage be the relic of the past that it is.”
Givens is concerned about her portrayal in the biopic after Tyson also stated he caught her in bed with Brad Pitt when they were divorcing, which Givens has denied.

Tyson’s representative said that Givens will not be portrayed in the biopic.
“As of now, Mr. Tyson’s attorneys have not received any cease and desist, but there isn’t nor has there been any intention of including his relationship with her in his biopic. He wishes her well in all her endeavors,” the rep said.
