Before y’all get y’all’s panties in a bunch in the comments, no where in this video do I make any arguments for Amber Heard! The gist is, she (Robin) was wrongfully vilified and was seen and treated similar to how Amber Heard is seen and treated now. That doesn’t mean that Amber was wrongfully vilified. It just means Robin didn’t deserve the Amber Heard treatment that she received. Please don’t make this something that it’s not 💛
Amber heard has been wrongfully vilified , fortunately the truth is prevailing and the tide is turning which is great! Still awful what she was put through…I admire her strength and class, they could’ve driven an innocent to unalive herself and that is sad…I do stand with amber, she is not just a Dv/SA victim but one of a horrendous smear campaign and injustice…Kesha, Angeline Jolie and Evan Rachel wood are facing defamation lawsuits now too so this is sadly too common of an experience for women…💕
@@gotosleep2876 This! They both have toxic traits (Deep friendship with Manson never sat right with me) but the fact is there's solid evidence of Heard being abusive towards Deep yet people don't want to see that women can also be abusive.
I’m not even surprised how bad Robin Givens was treated. Abuse in the black community is never taken serious. Look at how they made jokes about Tina Turner being abused by Ike ? That says a lot about how backwards the black community is.
@Bjk g We’re talking about Black People. Stop doing this ALM bs that does nothing but stop further discussion and shut things down. If we wanted to talk about all women we would, but we’re talking about Black Woman. Go somewhere with this conversation.
@Bjk g What does that have to with anything? Y'all never wanna hold the BC accountable, white people don't do this to their people so stop making excuses for our's. We have got to do better. Black people have a serious self-hatred problem towards black women, this ain't about all women.
I was night manager at a hotel in Richmond, VA in the early 90's and she came to the desk one night to get her keys. The valets are off duty at night so we had to wait for security to get the car keys for the guests and usually it's an awkward few minutes while you're waiting, people tend to get impatient. I didn't recognize her. But she was so nice and so pleasant and we chatted about the city and whatever. She came back for her car for the next couple and by then I knew who she was but she was very gracious and kind, and this was after the whole Mike Tyson thing and she'd been treated so unfairly in the press, I felt bad for her because it was really undeserved. Very nice person.
They hated her because she was classy, beautiful and successful. I honestly believe people (including other black women) hate seeing black women being the picture of success that is supposedly only reserved for white women. Robin was also articulate with a good background. She’s enviable in every way. It’s really JEALOUSY. I hope she enjoyed every moment of her life that she could.
She is also my personal trader, crypto analyst and account manager with an initial invested capital of $8,000, it yielded returns of over $22000 watin two weeks of trading. I was really impressed by the profit Actualized
@Simple I don't get it! I totally agree that it was absolutely jealousy but I can't understand for the life of me why our own women would hate on another black woman for showing that black women aren't a "monolith" and we're more than the disgusting stereotypes that society/the media tries to trap us in. I just keep coming back to jealousy. I never heard of Robin Givens but as soon as I saw the opening scene of this video, I was HOOKED. She's such a beauty! And so elegant and smart! Diahann Carroll was bullied at school (by fellow black girls) for being "boujee" because she was an elegant young lady, and unfortunately, other girls found that intimidating, I guess. Same with Robin. You don't have to be ratchet and classless in order to fit in. She was a total queen and black women should've praised her, not been against her. Especially all that she went through with Mike Tyson.

She had the best hair extensions way ahead of her time. Robin Givens was and still is absolutely stunning. The fact people in particularly black men still hate her till this day is beyond crazy.
She sure did had the best hair extensions…Can you imagine if social media existed back then when her marriage to Mike Tyson ended? She literally crucified by the Black community her mother too I recall.
I've always loved Robin Givens. The black community disrespects black women all the time, especially racially unambiguous black women. It's frustrating.
She used to come into the Whole Foods I worked in and she was the sweetest, friendliness and most down to earth person! You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat people in customer service. She’ll always be a class act to me.
Thank you for this video. I was a teen-ager when the divorce took place, and overheard a classmate saying that she deserved to be beaten. Even more scary, even Ms. Magazine turned against her when she brought legal action against Tyson, accusing her of being a money grubber.
Most black men hate beautiful petite thin black women. They hate that her beauty can cross color lines. And they hate that her beauty is worth more than they title.

@@angechrisman1694 un no she’s right and this is coming from a thick woman I see how blk men are jealous of thin blk women because they are able to attract different race of men easily
That Barbara Walters interview started her hate train. Can’t believe folks are still mad at that. Can’t deny her talent, intelligence, beauty & resilience. Robyn is our girl
Tyson admitted some years ago that Robin never lied and he apologized for not being mentally mature enough to defend her against the press. I have always loved Robin since Head of the Class. She is a very talented actress.
I LOVE learning about The ROBIN GIVENS!!! Excellent mini documentary. YOU did a GREAT job giving us Robin's background so us viewers can have an idea about who she is. In my 30's, I can remember see her many, many of times throughout the 90's in (prominently) sitcoms and movies. Thanks for sharing.
It’s crazy both admitted to his DV and Mike still to this day gets a pass. It’s mind blowing how bad she’s been treated just because men are loyal to sports figures.
People always.... always seem to forgive the men who do these atrocious acts, QUICKLY. But the woman. The victims. Will be attacked, harassed, blamed, etc possibly the rest of their lives or careers. Just for being victims. Even just writing this. I have to take a moment. May God help this world & humanity to grow. Finally & truly. Thank you & amen. 🙏💜💜💜
Where do people get this stuff? Try looking up some facts about DV - men get arrested even when they are the victim. The women rarely do time or are punished legally. Most DV is the couple abusing each other, not a man abusing a peaceful woman. In fact a woman abusing a man is slightly higher incidence than vice versa (again, in most cases it's neither, it's bi-directional).
@@emilianosintarias7337 I was still responding to your 1st comment..... that's how much I'm still dealing with these issues. Woman aren't important in this world. That's what life has taught me. And this fact is so normalized. Even YOU feel the need.... to get defensive or debate. Over the reality of this world. It's beyond disgust at this point. It's just sorrow
@@emilianosintarias7337 If there's one thing I will never do - it's disregard ANY victim. Regardless of gender. Idk or care what your agenda is. But don't ever put words like that in my mouth.
I NEVER understood the hate Robin Givens received. The fact that she is still standing after all that hate is a miracle. Robin Givens is an ICON & deserves all the flowers
I remember that too when it was in the news that Tyson would threaten and confront anyone who tried to date her after their divorce, and it was crazy at the time!!! He basically showed everyone who he really was all on his own, and I think that confirmed what Robin Givens was trying to convey all along that he was a violent person!! It gave me a totally different perspective of Robin and their relationship after that, even though I never really understood what she saw in him in the first place. I still think she's one of the most gorgeous, flawless looking women of all time and deserves to be ranked among the top 10!! Just MHO. Thank you for this video Karine!!
Wow I didn’t know any of this! I didn’t grow up watching her but I’m in my 20s and regularly watch older movies so I love her. Sucks that she was treated like that
She was viciously attacked by the media. People in the know knew how messed up Mike was and couldn’t understand how she got with him knowing how he was. Maybe she thought she could handle or save him. The Barbara Walters show didn’t help her either. I personally think she said what she said in the event that the worst happened. I am glad she got away and went on with her life.
I want all black women to free themselves from this exhausting rhetoric that states that we must protect abusive narcissistic men SOLELY bc they’re black. We don’t owe black men anything & they damn sure aren’t doing us any favors off the strength of our skin color
I'll always 💜 Robin Givens, she's a star I could identify with (for obvious reasons). Intelligent, Beautiful & Brown! Thank you for spotlighting her!!!
I was probably one of the few who didn't like Tyson at the time. I loved to watch boxing so when he was in the ring, I knew it wouldn't be much of a fight.😆 But what he did to Holyfield, that sealed my disdain for him and I definitely believed Robin because I just felt something about him wasn't quite right and I wasn't wrong.
I met her she came to my old job a lot a famous airport restaurant and she sooo humble never ask for special seating but rather hung out at the bar ❤❤❤❤
❤🙏💯 I love Robin Givens and she has been through hell because of that relationship no disrespect to Mike Tyson but some people aren't meant for each other and hopefully they learned from it! She is a very beautiful intelligent-driven woman and I never once thought that she was out for anyone's money
As black women, we are constantly unjustly vilified when we come out about our abuse. You see it with Megan Thee Stallion, Tina Turner, Robin Givens, etc. We are never given the same treatment like an Amber Heard, granted Amber was too unjustly vilified, but people are now waking up to her side of the story whereas we black women are NEVER believed, or it takes YEARS for people to finally hear us out.
@Bjk g I tend to disagree respectfully and that’s from statistics and facts. While women in general are disrespected/unjustly vilified …when you check the stats you would see that women of color face the most difficulty as compared. That does not erase what other women have gone and is still going through….however the facts are the facts
@Bjk g stop invalidating the black experience, you are doing it up and down this comment section. It's ok if the black experience is relayed on a black woman's channel under a story about another black woman. FYI there are stats/data, by different organizations like the FBI, that report that one black woman is killed every 5.5 hours, it might be 5 hours now. But stand on the side and learn, stop dismissing and ALM someone's comment.
@Bjk g White women are more privileged than Black women , therefore much likely to be believed as opposed to B women. The case of Weinstein is a perfect example. I've have seen many of your comments diminishing black women's experience with abuse. You are blind and biased.
@Bjk g This is a video about a black American women not about India or SA or Iran. You need to change your perception as it is completely subjective and does not correlate to the subject matter. There isn't one fix to all abuse women face around the world. A christian woman cannot resolve issues women in Iran or SA or India or many African tribes are facing since many are cultural and religious. You are completely unrealistic.
Robin's always been intelligent and gorgeous. That's the problem most had with her tbh. Mike was intimidated by this, so he would attack her physically because of it, trying bring down her self esteem. Glad she left him when she did. Obviously it was a lie, as his other ex wives also suffered dv at his hands. She always shows grace and poise. Much 💜 to her & continued success.
Robin Givens is deep in black cinema now. I always see her in primary black movies and TV shows. Even back in the early 90s she was in great movies like Boomerang and A Rage in Harlem.
I never even knew about the Mike Tyson situation until that biopic series came out on Hulu. I just thought she was beautiful,cultured, smart, and talented as I watched her growing up. ❤
The last show that I saw Robin on was Ambitions on OWN! I hate the show was cancelled. Robin Givens is truly a talented actress and very intelligent woman! I hate the hate that she got!
I never knew she was hated that strongly. I was still a little kid when that whole thing went down with her and Mike. I do remember hearing that she was a gold digger though, but I always seen her working, so I didn't believe it
Also, HE kept talking about their relationship and essentially telling on himself. Robin could have tanked his career but Mike did that all on his own.
Love her beautiful self, but I remember folk didn’t like her and as a young girl at the time I didn’t understand why?? Now I see very clearly, she was FIERCE!!! Black not bi-racial, beautiful, educated and classy. She’s stunning til this very day and Tyson turned out to be everything she said he was..
I liike Robin Givens. Beautiful, classy, intelligent woman. Are those who say she's not black enough saying a black woman can't be those things? It's insane. Same hate Whitney got. Also the same as Rihanna when the incident happened with Chris Brown. The tide turned in her favour later but the immediate response in blogs then was why did she report the assault and that she deserved the beating.
Have you ever heard of another show she was in called “Ambitions?” 🤔 I’m still pissed of that the show was canceled and left off on a hanger! 😠 She played her role in that show!
I remember the show. I thought it was good and never understood why the show was canceled. I hope she is able to work until she no longer wants to work.
As women we need to uplift and support each other, not constantly put other women down and be jealous of them. I’ve always admired Robin and thought she got a raw deal. Glad to see she’s acting again
I was in high school back when she got married to Mike Tyson. What I remember about that particular situation is people had a difficult time believing that she had anything in common with Mike Tyson. He came across as, not classy or intelligent or her “type”. She was everything he was not. Therefore, people assumed she was only in it for the $. Tyson was very popular at the time and SUPER rich, really fast. TY Karine for such fantastic content 🙏🏻
This Made Me LOVE ROBIN GIVENS MORE! This is the last comment I will make for this video. I am impressed with this video!! I stayed GLUED to this screen after coming home from work. Robin Givens definitely has an interesting life story. Thanks for sharing.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great video as usual Karine. Unquestionably, people hate Robin Givens simply because they are jealous, and haters will always hate. However, Givens is a not only a beautiful lady she's also very intelligent.
I can, tell you... She didn't hold back anything, in the Barbara Walter's interview... She let the world know.. Who she was dealing with.. I will always love Robin Givens❤❤FUNFACT! She also played a few espisodes.. Of LL Cool J, girlfriend in the TV series IN THE HOUSE!! She played a Cop☝️👍👍
In my opinion, the biggest mistake of her life was getting with a sociopath like mike tyson. Robin was attractive and highly intelligent, so it was normal for high value men to want to be with her; however, society treats unambiguous black women like sh-it! In the minds of many, black women should be the Help and side piece. And the black community will forever blame black women for the toxic behavior of black men. I’m just happy Robin didn’t allow dusty mike to completely ruin her mentally and physically. Glad she got out!
It was the Black community that vilified Robin Givens.She was an intelligent, sophisticated BROWN-SKINNED woman, which is why the Black community didn’t put her up on a pedestal.She was more appreciated by White people.Get in where you fit in.
It was stated she lied about being pregnant in order to marry Mike Tyson. It was also alluded that her mother was apart of it. She had no real intentions of being with Mike. No one discuss Mike Tyson hitting her. Domestic violence is already dangerous and physically painful. I could not image being hit as a woman by Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson has shown a pattern of being problematic yet Robin is still viewed negatively
So how do you know who to believe? For all we know the accusations against her are true, and she bullied and beat him. I mean, if he raises his hand in defense, one photo and a phone call and she gets all his money -best case. Worst case he kills her with 1 punch, so life in prison, and he was terrified of that. Or, maybe she's telling the truth and he was CTE crazy. We don't know
Domestic abuse w/in black community is not treated as a real issue. We as a people need to get w.reality and stop encouraging black struggle love where woman abuse is acceptable. I never was a Tyson fan.
So what if part of her attraction to Mike was his wealth? People are attracted to different things. The goldigger label is too pervasive in the black community. It is disgusting how Mike was supported despite being abusive..
It’s absolutely disgusting how villainous the media was, especially towards Black women. People laughing at her abuse AFTER Tyson ADMITTED to punching her? The country is sick. After seeing something like this, it’s hard to deny the understanding that black women are THE most disrespected group in America. I’ve always been an admirer of this woman, and that’s because she reminds me that there IS space for a proper-spoken, sexy, intelligent black women, regardless of what the ignorant haters have to say. To this day, the black community STILL shits on literate, educated black women. It’s absolutely ridiculous, and pitiful. It’s bad enough that the U.S. is behind when it comes to the quality of our school system compared to most advance countries, but for our community, which affected the most when it comes to this statistic, to attack educated AND attractive black women like this is insidious and just shows the hate the community has for itself. Robin Givens is a Queen, and only real Kings and Queens can attest to that❤️
That Barbara Walter's interview messed her career and reputation up. I do believe she was telling the truth. It didn't help that Mike was sitting there while she was telling it without saying anything. I actually like Robyn Givens and see her as an excellent actress. Hope to see more of her on the screen.
I have always been a big fan of Robin Givens. Since her Head of the Class days. She’s beautiful elegant and sultry. On top of all that she’s highly intelligent. I love her.❤
Thank you for doing this video!! 👍🏾 Robin has always been an icon for Black Femininity done RIGHT. ❤ The venom spewed at her is a reflection of the toxicity within the Black Community at the time. Thank God that sisters are liberating themselves now! We deserve to have ALL that we desire. (Get you a Brad Pitt 😋)
I've always liked Robin Givens, I believe there was some tacky stuff done to Mike Tyson, but I believe her Mom was more responsible for those antics ,but it takes two, in this case I believe her Mom was the third party to their demise... She still kept her held high and kept on working, regardless what was said about her... Keep doing your thing beautiful Lady!!! I send love health wealth abundance and prosperity 💛

I've always loved Robin Givens. She's always given off a very elegant but confident vibe. it's sad she's been vilified. Even my mother and grandmother dislike her. She did great in "Tyler Perry's Family That Preys", "Ambitions" & "God's Not Dead2".
I've always loved her! She was an "it" girl for me. I was too young to know what else she was going through or have an opinionon that. Also, your brother makes some soothing jams! I think I need to finally check him out. 🙂

She sure did had the best hair extensions…Can you imagine if social media existed back then when her marriage to Mike Tyson ended? She literally crucified by the Black community her mother too I recall.
Yes her hair extensions is so natural. It really do look like her hair and also yes she’s Stunning.
@@ItsKatToria I though it was her natural hair 😮🫠🫢
She’s gorgeous
@@Thegazelle1000 It appear to me she has long hair but add pieces to it maybe for volume or extra length
Mysogyny simple. Dude bit the ear off a guy. He's definitely is or was violent. So... Why is she wrong?
Exactly
Misogynoir
Why would they say she was like amber heard? Omg nothing alike at all.
I think Mike was mad because she was out of his league & just couldn’t keep up 😒. I can’t believe how ppl can be in this world.
Exactly. I wish our people would do better. We are a force together
I've always loved Robin Givens. The black community disrespects black women all the time, especially racially unambiguous black women. It's frustrating.
Boomerang is an IMMORTAL classic. Robin Givens was PERFECT as Jacqueline Broyer. She's STILL aging gracefully. ❤️
She still looks the same! Aged very beautifully 😍
So true!
yes, Grace, Halle and Robin
I have nothing mean to say about this beautiful woman. What happened to her sounds terrible. Thank you for telling her story. ❤
She used to come into the Whole Foods I worked in and she was the sweetest, friendliness and most down to earth person! You can tell a lot about someone by how they treat people in customer service. She’ll always be a class act to me.
Thank you for this video. I was a teen-ager when the divorce took place, and overheard a classmate saying that she deserved to be beaten. Even more scary, even Ms. Magazine turned against her when she brought legal action against Tyson, accusing her of being a money grubber.
The black community is sad. The community encourages struggle love for women. Black get praised having a job at Fat Burger.
To be honest people treated her like how they treat Meagan the stallion. Smh saying someone abuse you is serious and should be taken seriously.
Most black men hate beautiful petite thin black women. They hate that her beauty can cross color lines. And they hate that her beauty is worth more than they title.
You sound crazy
Very true. Thst means she has options
They hate Eurocentric BLK Woman basically?
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 This is not a Eurocentric face. There are black people with small features since the beginning of time without white ancestry
@@angechrisman1694 un no she’s right and this is coming from a thick woman I see how blk men are jealous of thin blk women because they are able to attract different race of men easily
I was a Robin Given’s fan then and a fan now. Very talented, beautiful and intelligent.
Yes her intelligence and beauty are phenomenal.
That Barbara Walters interview started her hate train.
Can’t believe folks are still mad at that.
Can’t deny her talent, intelligence, beauty & resilience. Robyn is our girl
Because it was obvious, she was setting up Mike in that interview to rob him of $9 million dollars nine months later, which was exactly what she did.
Celebrities should stay away from Barbara Walters. She was awful to Britney Spears and back in the day tried to make Dolly Parton look foolish.
@@queenreg7 yes. She's terrible and judgemental
@@queenreg7 oprah and Barbara Walters lol
@@queenreg7Prince didnt f with her 🤣
Tyson admitted some years ago that Robin never lied and he apologized for not being mentally mature enough to defend her against the press. I have always loved Robin since Head of the Class. She is a very talented actress.
Wrong ...why you lie?!
I LOVE learning about The ROBIN GIVENS!!! Excellent mini documentary. YOU did a GREAT job giving us Robin's background so us viewers can have an idea about who she is. In my 30's, I can remember see her many, many of times throughout the 90's in (prominently) sitcoms and movies. Thanks for sharing.
It’s crazy both admitted to his DV and Mike still to this day gets a pass. It’s mind blowing how bad she’s been treated just because men are loyal to sports figures.
People always.... always seem to forgive the men who do these atrocious acts, QUICKLY. But the woman. The victims. Will be attacked, harassed, blamed, etc possibly the rest of their lives or careers. Just for being victims.
Even just writing this. I have to take a moment. May God help this world & humanity to grow. Finally & truly. Thank you & amen. 🙏💜💜💜
Where do people get this stuff? Try looking up some facts about DV - men get arrested even when they are the victim. The women rarely do time or are punished legally. Most DV is the couple abusing each other, not a man abusing a peaceful woman. In fact a woman abusing a man is slightly higher incidence than vice versa (again, in most cases it's neither, it's bi-directional).
@@emilianosintarias7337 You're speaking to a survivor. RIGHT NOW.
@@angeleyeszarai So then why are you throwing millions of other survivors under the bus?
@@emilianosintarias7337 I was still responding to your 1st comment..... that's how much I'm still dealing with these issues. Woman aren't important in this world. That's what life has taught me. And this fact is so normalized. Even YOU feel the need.... to get defensive or debate. Over the reality of this world. It's beyond disgust at this point. It's just sorrow
@@emilianosintarias7337 If there's one thing I will never do - it's disregard ANY victim. Regardless of gender. Idk or care what your agenda is. But don't ever put words like that in my mouth.
I NEVER understood the hate Robin Givens received. The fact that she is still standing after all that hate is a miracle. Robin Givens is an ICON & deserves all the flowers
She was classy, beautiful AND educated!!!
I remember that too when it was in the news that Tyson would threaten and confront anyone who tried to date her after their divorce, and it was crazy at the time!!! He basically showed everyone who he really was all on his own, and I think that confirmed what Robin Givens was trying to convey all along that he was a violent person!! It gave me a totally different perspective of Robin and their relationship after that, even though I never really understood what she saw in him in the first place. I still think she's one of the most gorgeous, flawless looking women of all time and deserves to be ranked among the top 10!! Just MHO. Thank you for this video Karine!!
Wow I didn’t know any of this! I didn’t grow up watching her but I’m in my 20s and regularly watch older movies so I love her. Sucks that she was treated like that
Praying for Robin❤🙏🏼🕊
She was viciously attacked by the media. People in the know knew how messed up Mike was and couldn’t understand how she got with him knowing how he was. Maybe she thought she could handle or save him. The Barbara Walters show didn’t help her either. I personally think she said what she said in the event that the worst happened. I am glad she got away and went on with her life.
I want all black women to free themselves from this exhausting rhetoric that states that we must protect abusive narcissistic men SOLELY bc they’re black. We don’t owe black men anything & they damn sure aren’t doing us any favors off the strength of our skin color
I'll always 💜 Robin Givens, she's a star I could identify with (for obvious reasons). Intelligent, Beautiful & Brown!
Thank you for spotlighting her!!!
I was probably one of the few who didn't like Tyson at the time. I loved to watch boxing so when he was in the ring, I knew it wouldn't be much of a fight.😆 But what he did to Holyfield, that sealed my disdain for him and I definitely believed Robin because I just felt something about him wasn't quite right and I wasn't wrong.
I met her she came to my old job a lot a famous airport restaurant and she sooo humble never ask for special seating but rather hung out at the bar ❤❤❤❤
❤🙏💯 I love Robin Givens and she has been through hell because of that relationship no disrespect to Mike Tyson but some people aren't meant for each other and hopefully they learned from it! She is a very beautiful intelligent-driven woman and I never once thought that she was out for anyone's money
love your channel❤ you’re such a role model , inspiration and hardworker♥️♥️
Robin Givens was that chick! Love her! 💜
Boomerang is definitely one of my all-time favorite movies
As black women, we are constantly unjustly vilified when we come out about our abuse. You see it with Megan Thee Stallion, Tina Turner, Robin Givens, etc. We are never given the same treatment like an Amber Heard, granted Amber was too unjustly vilified, but people are now waking up to her side of the story whereas we black women are NEVER believed, or it takes YEARS for people to finally hear us out.
@Bjk g I tend to disagree respectfully and that’s from statistics and facts. While women in general are disrespected/unjustly vilified …when you check the stats you would see that women of color face the most difficulty as compared. That does not erase what other women have gone and is still going through….however the facts are the facts
@Bjk g stop invalidating the black experience, you are doing it up and down this comment section. It's ok if the black experience is relayed on a black woman's channel under a story about another black woman. FYI there are stats/data, by different organizations like the FBI, that report that one black woman is killed every 5.5 hours, it might be 5 hours now. But stand on the side and learn, stop dismissing and ALM someone's comment.
@Bjk g White women are more privileged than Black women , therefore much likely to be believed as opposed to B women. The case of Weinstein is a perfect example. I've have seen many of your comments diminishing black women's experience with abuse. You are blind and biased.
@Heythats . Amber Heard deserved what she got. It's a proven that she is a liar.
@Bjk g This is a video about a black American women not about India or SA or Iran. You need to change your perception as it is completely subjective and does not correlate to the subject matter. There isn't one fix to all abuse women face around the world. A christian woman cannot resolve issues women in Iran or SA or India or many African tribes are facing since many are cultural and religious. You are completely unrealistic.
I am very proud of her from head of the class to ambitions
I’ve always believed Robin. I was able to meet her at her book signing. It was one of my best meeting next to Ms. Lynn Whitfield ❤ ❤❤
She was absolutely amazing in "Tyler Perry's The family that Preys"
Regal!!! I loved her performance in The Family That Preys too.
Yeah she was great in the film
The way her character read Sanaa Lathan character
A lot of people hate Robin givens but for some odd reason I have love for her and she was the shit in her prime 💕 🤷🏿♀️
For robbin and cheating on tyson..she is a snake...ask Pitt
Robin's always been intelligent and gorgeous. That's the problem most had with her tbh. Mike was intimidated by this, so he would attack her physically because of it, trying bring down her self esteem. Glad she left him when she did. Obviously it was a lie, as his other ex wives also suffered dv at his hands. She always shows grace and poise. Much 💜 to her & continued success.
Robin Givens is deep in black cinema now. I always see her in primary black movies and TV shows. Even back in the early 90s she was in great movies like Boomerang and A Rage in Harlem.
Yass she also is on hallmark and family channels
@@KIRKSHINTATURNIPSEED Yes, I see her as well as other veteran black actresses in those movies.
I never even knew about the Mike Tyson situation until that biopic series came out on Hulu. I just thought she was beautiful,cultured, smart, and talented as I watched her growing up. ❤
The last show that I saw Robin on was Ambitions on OWN! I hate the show was cancelled. Robin Givens is truly a talented actress and very intelligent woman! I hate the hate that she got!
I have always adored Robin Givens . She has been my Idol since "A Rage in Harlem"
She is a very beautiful & kind woman IRL. I met her and her son on the upper east side here in nyc. I love her. 😍
A ❤️ for Karine and a ❤️ for Robin. Two very classy ladies!!! 👏🏽👏🏽
I never knew she was hated that strongly. I was still a little kid when that whole thing went down with her and Mike. I do remember hearing that she was a gold digger though, but I always seen her working, so I didn't believe it
Also, HE kept talking about their relationship and essentially telling on himself. Robin could have tanked his career but Mike did that all on his own.
I don’t care what anybody say I love Robin! She inspires me
Love her beautiful self, but I remember folk didn’t like her and as a young girl at the time I didn’t understand why?? Now I see very clearly, she was FIERCE!!! Black not bi-racial, beautiful, educated and classy. She’s stunning til this very day and Tyson turned out to be everything she said he was..
Holy she is so stunning! And looks so glamorous with that 80s/90s make up
Poor Robin. Glad that she is living her life despite all of the vitriol.
I liike Robin Givens. Beautiful, classy, intelligent woman. Are those who say she's not black enough saying a black woman can't be those things? It's insane. Same hate Whitney got. Also the same as Rihanna when the incident happened with Chris Brown. The tide turned in her favour later but the immediate response in blogs then was why did she report the assault and that she deserved the beating.
Miss Givens…I still call her that because of LL Cool J. I love her, she seems like the full package. Beauty inside and out.
Have you ever heard of another show she was in called “Ambitions?” 🤔 I’m still pissed of that the show was canceled and left off on a hanger! 😠 She played her role in that show!
I remember the show. I thought it was good and never understood why the show was canceled. I hope she is able to work until she no longer wants to work.
As women we need to uplift and support each other, not constantly put other women down and be jealous of them. I’ve always admired Robin and thought she got a raw deal. Glad to see she’s acting again
I was in high school back when she got married to Mike Tyson. What I remember about that particular situation is people had a difficult time believing that she had anything in common with Mike Tyson. He came across as, not classy or intelligent or her “type”. She was everything he was not. Therefore, people assumed she was only in it for the $. Tyson was very popular at the time and SUPER rich, really fast.
TY Karine for such fantastic content 🙏🏻
This Made Me LOVE ROBIN GIVENS MORE! This is the last comment I will make for this video. I am impressed with this video!! I stayed GLUED to this screen after coming home from work. Robin Givens definitely has an interesting life story. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching ❤
Thank you for doing this video. I've been hoping you'd do this video 💓
I LOVE ROBIN!!! ALWAYS have & ALWAYS will!! Karine, I love you too!! Keep doing this wonderful of being YOU!!
I have always loved Robin Givens ❣
Thanks Karine for doing this breakdown. I’ve always wondered about her and why people didn’t like her.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great video as usual Karine. Unquestionably, people hate Robin Givens simply because they are jealous, and haters will always hate. However, Givens is a not only a beautiful lady she's also very intelligent.
I love Robin Givens! She also starred in a more recent show called Ambitions on Starz which I loved! She is so beautiful. 😍
That Barbara Walter's interview was painful to watch. Robin Givens is baddie. I'm shocked she messed with hideous, obnoxious, Howard Stern!
She still looks the same. She was on Ambitions.
Love that show
I can, tell you... She didn't hold back anything, in the Barbara Walter's interview... She let the world know.. Who she was dealing with.. I will always love Robin Givens❤❤FUNFACT! She also played a few espisodes.. Of LL Cool J, girlfriend in the TV series IN THE HOUSE!! She played a Cop☝️👍👍
Robin Givens is beautiful and smart. I mean that woman really didn’t deserve all of criticism and black lash
Thank you for recognizing her beauty and talent
In my opinion, the biggest mistake of her life was getting with a sociopath like mike tyson. Robin was attractive and highly intelligent, so it was normal for high value men to want to be with her; however, society treats unambiguous black women like sh-it! In the minds of many, black women should be the Help and side piece. And the black community will forever blame black women for the toxic behavior of black men. I’m just happy Robin didn’t allow dusty mike to completely ruin her mentally and physically. Glad she got out!
It was the Black community that vilified Robin Givens.She was an intelligent, sophisticated BROWN-SKINNED woman, which is why the Black community didn’t put her up on a pedestal.She was more appreciated by White people.Get in where you fit in.
You do realize Mike has a higher net worth than she does right? Not a dusty boo
Robin was just gorgeous...that Barbara Walters interview wearing that blue fit? WHEW just beautiful
I really like her. I had no idea there was so much hate towards her when she was the victim!!
Robin Givens also starred in ambitions as well
I've always liked Robin Givens I've always thought she was a rare natural beauty
WILL FOREVER BE A BIG FAN.🌻🌻
It was stated she lied about being pregnant in order to marry Mike Tyson. It was also alluded that her mother was apart of it. She had no real intentions of being with Mike.
No one discuss Mike Tyson hitting her. Domestic violence is already dangerous and physically painful. I could not image being hit as a woman by Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson has shown a pattern of being problematic yet Robin is still viewed negatively
So how do you know who to believe? For all we know the accusations against her are true, and she bullied and beat him. I mean, if he raises his hand in defense, one photo and a phone call and she gets all his money -best case. Worst case he kills her with 1 punch, so life in prison, and he was terrified of that. Or, maybe she's telling the truth and he was CTE crazy. We don't know
Domestic abuse w/in black community is not treated as a real issue. We as a people need to get w.reality and stop encouraging black struggle love where woman abuse is acceptable. I never was a Tyson fan.
@@lynnewilliams3241 domestic violence does not = women abuse. in most cases it is not a man hitting a women.
So what if part of her attraction to Mike was his wealth? People are attracted to different things. The goldigger label is too pervasive in the black community. It is disgusting how Mike was supported despite being abusive..
It’s absolutely disgusting how villainous the media was, especially towards Black women. People laughing at her abuse AFTER Tyson ADMITTED to punching her? The country is sick.
After seeing something like this, it’s hard to deny the understanding that black women are THE most disrespected group in America.
I’ve always been an admirer of this woman, and that’s because she reminds me that there IS space for a proper-spoken, sexy, intelligent black women, regardless of what the ignorant haters have to say.
To this day, the black community STILL shits on literate, educated black women. It’s absolutely ridiculous, and pitiful. It’s bad enough that the U.S. is behind when it comes to the quality of our school system compared to most advance countries, but for our community, which affected the most when it comes to this statistic, to attack educated AND attractive black women like this is insidious and just shows the hate the community has for itself.
Robin Givens is a Queen, and only real Kings and Queens can attest to that❤️
That Barbara Walter's interview messed her career and reputation up. I do believe she was telling the truth. It didn't help that Mike was sitting there while she was telling it without saying anything. I actually like Robyn Givens and see her as an excellent actress. Hope to see more of her on the screen.
She was classic Robin in the film “Boomerang”👏🏽
I have always been a big fan of Robin Givens. Since her Head of the Class days. She’s beautiful elegant and sultry. On top of all that she’s highly intelligent. I love her.❤
I loved Robin she was such a great actress hope shes doing well ❤
Thank you for doing this video!! 👍🏾
Robin has always been an icon for Black Femininity done RIGHT. ❤ The venom spewed at her is a reflection of the toxicity within the Black Community at the time. Thank God that sisters are liberating themselves now! We deserve to have ALL that we desire. (Get you a Brad Pitt 😋)
It was the one she always carried herself for me. Educated & Gorgeous ❤
It taught me how black women are treated. As a young girl who loved her in head of the class, it was devastating to see her so hated
I've always liked Robin Givens, I believe there was some tacky stuff done to Mike Tyson, but I believe her Mom was more responsible for those antics ,but it takes two, in this case I believe her Mom was the third party to their demise... She still kept her held high and kept on working, regardless what was said about her... Keep doing your thing beautiful Lady!!!
I send love health wealth abundance and prosperity 💛

Robin Given is beyond gorgeous, then and now🥰😍. Much respect to how she navigated so much hate with class ❤❤❤❤❤. This “community “ has always hated Black women
I love that you covered the life of the great,stunningly beautiful and seductive Robin Givens. She's an amazing actress. Loved her in Boomerang and "The Women Of Brewster Place" along side the legendary Cicely Tyson.
I've always loved Robin Givens. She's always given off a very elegant but confident vibe. it's sad she's been vilified. Even my mother and grandmother dislike her. She did great in "Tyler Perry's Family That Preys", "Ambitions" & "God's Not Dead2".
I've always loved her! She was an "it" girl for me. I was too young to know what else she was going through or have an opinionon that. Also, your brother makes some soothing jams! I think I need to finally check him out. 🙂
I am disgusted the way Robin was treated for being abused by that big brute Mike Tyson.
💜💜 I was always a fan of Robin...I was really young when she divorced Tyson, I heard the messy rumors but never paid too much attention. She is classy, beautiful and smart....great video!!
