Mike Tyson refused to see celebrity friends behind bars

BOXING great-turned-actor and entertainer Mike Tyson refused to see some of his celebrity pals while he was locked away in prison 20 years ago – because he didn’t want them to see him bound like a slave.The rehabilitated sportsman admits he wasn’t short of celebrity visitors during his time behind bars from 1992 to 1995, while he was serving time for rape, but he drew up a list of people he didn’t want to see – because he was too ashamed to come face to face with them.
He says, “(Actress) Florence Henderson came by and I was in the hole – I had gotten in trouble… and you’re chained down like a runaway slave and I didn’t wanna be like that. It was a horrible thing to do… It was just a degrading situation”.
