Mike Tyson's Domestic Violence Victim, Robin Givens Weighs In On Ray Rice, Actress Says "Hitting Is Never, Ever, Ever Acceptable, This Is A Human Rights Issue"

Actress, Robin Givens is no stranger to the world of celebrities dealing with domestic violence, in fact she was one of the trending topics in the late 80s when she married boxing champ, Mike Tyson who abused her.

These days Givens can relate to Janay Rice, as she became the trending topic last week when new video surfaced showing her husband, former Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice knocking her out on a Atlantic City elevator.

In a recent interview, Givens reminded everyone that abuse doesn't just happen to athlete's or people in the spotlight, but it could happen to you.

"As much as we're talking about Ray Rice or you look at me and you think [about] my ex-husband, I've spent the last 20 years talking to a lot of women that aren't in my business," Givens told Entertainment Tonight.

"It's not a Black issue; it's not a White issue. It's not a socio-economic issue. It really, really touches women on a very large scale," she continued.

Robin revealed to the world in a an interview with Barbara Walters, in 1988 that Tyson was abusive.

"You get accustomed to being treated poorly," Robin shared with Barbara.

Robin claims that NFL's actions to fire Rice was the beginning of what is to come to future abusers and she says men with that behavior is unacceptable.

"When men say this is unacceptable...that's when it's really, really going to grab a hold of the conversation. The fact that we have football saying we can't do this, takes us to another level in this conversation," said Robin.

"This is never, ever, ever acceptable. There's nothing you can say, no skirt that you wore that was too short. You didn't get in his face. Hitting is never, ever, ever acceptable. This is a human rights issue. This cannot happen," the actress said.
