Mike Tyson reveals he was sexually abused at age 7 [Video]

Mike Tyson has been through a lot in his life. But the depths of his pain is something that we’ll never fully know. In a recent interview on Sirius XM’s Opie Radio, Tyson revealed that he was molested at seven years-old.

 

Mike says that he was snatched off the street by a man, sexually assaulted and ran to get away.

“He bullied me, sexually abused me and stuff… snatched me off the street. I was a little kid. Never seen him again.” 

Mike said he never reported the crime to police because, “It was nobody’s business to know. I just lived my life.”

Tyson was on Howard Stern this week as well, where he discussed his ongoing battle with mental illness and addiction.
