Mike Tyson has spoken out against the new Hulu miniseries about his life in a series of Instagram posts, saying the company 'stole' his story and never paid him for it.
Boxer and actor Mike Tyson has spoken out against the new Hulu miniseries, Mike, which chronicles his life. Tyson is the former heavyweight world champion, having earned the title at age 20, remaining undefeated from 1987 to 1990. However, Tyson was later sentenced to six years in prison for sexual assault, a charge he has denied, serving three of those years before being released on parole and returning to boxing.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Since that time, Tyson has stepped out of the ring and into Hollywood, frequently appearing as himself in films like The Hangover, Black & White, Rocky Balboa, Scary Movie V, and TV shows like Roseanne, How I Met Your Mother, and Franklin & Bash. He has also appeared in the animated series Mike Tyson Mysteries on Netflix and even a stand-up special for HBO called The Undisputed Truth.
This isn't the first time that Tyson has spoken out against Hulu's Mike project. When the show was announced in 2021, the former boxer called it "tone-deaf cultural misappropriation" of his story, and said that an authorized version was in development. That version would be the Fuqua/Foxx series, to be produced by Martin Scorsese, which is still in development after a number of setbacks, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adapting someone's life story is always difficult, as the subject may not be quick to endorse it, thereby calling into question the project's accuracy. However, the opposite can also be true. An adaptation with the subject heavily involved risks becoming too one-sided if there is an attempt to subvert some aspects, while presenting others more glowingly.
