The legendary pro boxer Mike Tyson’s son Amir Tyson recently posted a screenshot of a throwback video clip of the late pop icon Michael Jackson. A video clip recently surfaced in which he was being rude to the cameraman regarding the frame of capturing him. Amir Tyson posted the screenshot and noted how Jackson was being ‘reckless.’

Meanwhile, Mike Tyson has appealed that the $5 million lawsuit against him be removed from the Supreme Court. In January, a suit had been filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act for reparations worth $5 million that alleged that Tyson had “violently raped” the claimant in the early 90s. Mike was previously convicted in another case of sexual assault and sentenced to six years in prison, of which he served three until his release on parole.
The plaintiff said in her affidavit that due to the incident, she “experienced feelings of guilt, loss of self-respect, shame, embarrassment, sadness, anger, depression, anxiety, violent tendencies, drug & alcohol addiction, and confusion.”
In a recent update, Mike Tyson’s legal team has asked for the case to be removed from the Supreme Court. They cite that the case befits the jurisdiction of the district courts after establishing “complete diversity of citizenship,” owing to the fact that the plaintiff is a New York citizen and Tyson a citizen of Nevada.
The case falls under district court jurisdiction as it is a civil action between citizens of different states, and the sum of money in question exceeds $75,000. It remains to be seen whether ‘Kid Dynamite’s legacy will suffer in light of these new allegations against him.
