    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…💕

    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.

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.

      @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.

    I have always felt that Robin Givens was cruelly attacked by the media. She is not a “gold-digger”. She is successful on her own and her mother took care of her well. She attended Harvard University. She had every right to inquire of Mike Tyson’s funds. That was her husband.
    Robin is a very petite girl, pretty, very intelligent, sexy and classy.
    The best for her in the future.🌱🌸

    She was a FOX!!!! What she said in that Barbara Walters interview is often overlooked, misinterpreted and underrated. Most people, including myself, felt like she was shaming and vilifying him, but actually she was addressing the fact that his team and promoters were taking advantage of him. Because she even said that his condition wasn't given any attention because he was a talented boxer. And everyone around him saw dollar signs. Essentially what she was communicating was that he was a sincere man, who didn't come from the best circumstances and was still battling a lot of demons in spite of his wealth, success and fame... She was vilified for telling the truth

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).

      @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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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!
