Mike Tyson isn't pulling any punches.
, the boxing legend publicly condemned the project at the time, calling it a"tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of my life story."at the show's virtual Television Critics Association panel last Thursday, telling reporters,"We actually couldn't talk to him because his life rights were already taken, so that was never on the table. I would hope that if he watches it that he would change his opinion.
Through his rep, Tyson told ET -- in response to Rogers' claims --"[It is] a flat out lie. My life rights option expired years ago. Hulu nor any of their supercilious team ever tried to engage in any negotiations with this Black man. In their eyes I am still just a n*****r on the auction block ready to be sold for their profit without any regard for my worth or my family."
The statement continued,"They say this story is an exploration of a Black man. It's more like an exploitation of a Black man. Hulu thinks their tracks are covered by hiring Black sacrificial lambs to play the part as front men for their backdoor robbery is appalling. I will always remember this blatant disregard of my dignity.
