EXCLUSIVE Mike Tyson's mom had sex with men as he lay sleeping in bed next to her... years later he asked his therapist an agonizing question
As Father's Day gifts go, Mark Kriegel's new book 'Baddest Man: The Making of Mike Tyson ' may not be the most obvious choice. After all, Tyson didn't really know his dad growing up.
He was first told his father had been a Jamaican-born cab driver, only for his mother Lorna to later point to Jimmy 'Curlee' Kirkpatrick, a known pimp around 1970s Brooklyn. Tyson naturally preferred the latter explanation because a pimp's son had more 'status' than a cabbie's, as he explained in his 2013 one-man show, 'Undisputed Truth.'
