The iconic boxer Mike Tyson has opened up on being sexually assaulted as a child in a new interview with ESPN E60.

Interviewed by his old friend Jeremy Schapp, Tyson revealed that he had been attacked by a man who snatched him off the street and forced him into a building when he was only seven-years-old.

Well I don’t like to talk about that, I like to keep that where it was in the past, but I was molested as a child.

He added:

It made me have to be tough for the world I lived in.

Keen to inspire those who have harmed in the same way, Tyson revealed that he didn’t step forward to tell anyone for years because he was ashamed. Now, he says he has come to terms with what happened to him and has learned that his attacker’s disgusting act doesn’t make him (Tyson) any less of a man…or person.

I learned that it doesn’t make you any less of a man because it happened.

‘Talk About Our Love’ singer Brandy has been the talk of a number of fan groups over the past week, namely Jennifer Lopez‘s #JLovers and Mariah Carey‘s #Lambs.  For, after one simple IG post honoring the leader of the latter, she was inundated with insults and social media attacks for implied “shade” toward the leader of the former.

Granted, she did quickly clear up the mess online, but she wanted to ensure the drama was completely squashed.  Taking to CBS’s ‘The Talk’ to address the matter, B-Rocka spoke candidly about her love for both Carey and Lopez and reminded members of their fan groups that her #SheKnowsMe post meant no harm.

Brandy was shocked, stunned and startled when her friend turned nemesis Tiyon Christian uploaded a text message she sent to him online after he learned that she may have mocked his recent cover of a Mariah Carey song.

Now, she has responded.

#MustPost because all of my words were not posted publicly correctly —– here it goes ( this was a confidential text exchange between two adults, not for social media but pride is always a choice when you haven’t done the work on yourself) Look @Songwritertc , You gotta a lot of spiritual and mental work to do IF what I’m hearing about what you’re doing and saying is true. I apologize in advance if this is not the case but if it is, let’s be very clear……I would never use a Legend to shine light on you. I don’t even know what it is you’re doing in life right now. I’m too busy making my life as centered as it’s meant to be and in the will of God as it’s meant to be. I’m never speaking about you unless I am and I will use your name and your number to do so…..( like I did in the first place, but you wanna take it to social media… oh darling, I’m the best at that!) Over the years I have gotten very brave and just outright Unafraid to say what the fuck it is on my mind. The me you use to know has been crucified! You can never bring me down……. you “high key” love my sound too much and “low key” make yourself visible at certain shows with a certain someone that also doesn’t know how to act appropriately consistently …. Stop spending a lot of time on me and focus on training YOU to pay attention to YOU. And again This message is for IF what I’m hearing is true. If not, disregard. Toodles✌?#IHopeItsNotTrue and Still #IDontKnowYou -I added a few more lines just for my own #bravery This is #Over !!!!!!! And NEVER will I ever use a #Legend @MariahCarey to shade another one of my heroes and another #Legend @JLo #fallback I am ?

Alas, those hoping the pair would find peace after their digital war saw those hopes shattered when Christian, infuriated by the drama, posted the following message:

I’m just gonna keep it simple. I know that @4everbrandy thinks she posted the read of the century?? I’ve been keeping to myself & I don’t even follow this woman. I’ve dealt with her insecurities, and her passive aggressiveness for years now. Trying to belittle me all because I can sing. When you honestly think YOU’RE the reason for other people’s gifts SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU! When you call me on April fools to say you heard I been going around the industry saying I sing better & goin in on me as if it was true, Or how I remind you of Khloe Kardashian and she stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from you..??‍♂️ Or you’re mad cause I’m in LA working with “your fucking people trying to be you” (DARKCHILD) Who honestly would want to be friends with someone like that?. I’m not the ONLY artist that Brandy berates in private and thinks it’s okay to belittle! Do music to inspire others… what are you in it for?! Let’s just be real, God gave me my talent and I’m not gonna let someone who acts like she’s innocent skate by and claim what HE gave me?‍♂️as if she has this new found bravery. She’s always been bravely rude/manipulative & fake behind the scenes. People are starting to see HER true colors because of no one else but her! PERIOD #ThisAintNothingNew But I’ll continue to pray for that woman❤️ ALSO don’t send random messages about me to my Mother Brandy I would TRULY appreciate that??‍♂️

Tia Mowry has found herself locked in a feud with fellow actress Charlize Theron…over Soul Cycle.

Mowry gave an interview to ‘In Touch’ three years ago and in it, much to Theron’s horror, detailed what happened when she bumped into her at a Soul Cycle session.

She wasn’t very nice to me. I said, ‘Hi,’ and she actually rolled her eyes and said, ‘Oh, my God. I wasn’t over-the-top. I know how to approach another celebrity. Charlize was just mean. I’m just being honest.

Annoyed by Mowry’s decision to talk to the press about it, Theron is then said to have cornered the managers behind the fitness program and ordered them to blacklist Mowry!

Now, the ‘Monster’ actress claims Tia pulled the story out of thin air.

Who do you believe?

Odell Beckham continues to use his platform to support those who need it the most.

His latest act of altruism? Spending the day with a brave young man named Jayro Ponce who is suffering from a rare form of childhood cancer named malignant rhabdoid.

Beckham, who has been romantically linked to Zendaya and Amber Rose, then decided to surprise Jayro and his family with a visit days after the child’s father took to Twitter to reveal that his son was a huge fan of the athlete.
