Did Robin Givens And Brad Pitt Have An Affair?
She set the record straight.
getty We all love a little bit of celebrity gossip, and it’s even sweeter when it comes from the source itself rather than the tabloids. And while we can rely on publications like Vanity Fair or Cosmopolitan, many of us turn to Bravo when we want our burning questions answered.
Robin Givens is known for her roles in Head of the Class, Sparks, Tyler Perry's House of Payne, and, most recently, Riverdale. But she also gained notoriety in the late 1980s and early 90s with her marriage, divorce, and abuse allegations against Mike Tyson.
And in his book, Undisputed Truth, he made some allegations of his own, accusing Givens of an affair with none other than Brad Pitt! But did Robin Givens and Brad Pitt have an affair — or was Tyson stretching the truth?
Well, Givens has officially set the record straight on these rumors. On Sunday night, she appeared on What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen as a guest.
A fan-submitted question asked if the rumors were true about Pitt, to which she was quick to lay to rest. Tyson said he caught Givens and Pitt in bed together.
“Pulling up in the driveway, yes, that part is true. I was told that [Tyson] said he caught us in bed. Which never happened. Never, ever, ever,” she said. The other guest, Robyn Dixon from Real Housewives of Potomac asked what Pitt and Givens were doing together, and Givens responded, “Oh, we were coming from like a screening or something.”

Cohen also added, “[Tyson] claims that Brad said, like, ‘Don’t hit me!’” Givens laughed and said, “No. Does that sound like Brad? I mean, Brad’s got some swag, you know what I mean? I mean, no, no, never.”
So, while the two were friends, they weren’t lovers. That certainly gives us the clarity we’ve been looking for all these years.
While appearing on the show, Givens also answered a question about radio host Howard Stern. A fan asked about Stern’s comments regarding his penis size, to which he admitted in 1994 is small.
She said, “Oh my God this is like a walk down memory lane. I wish I was getting this much action now, Andy!... Howard Stern was a magnificent lover. For real. Like unbelievable... We dated for a while. It was all good. It was all really good.”
Before you believe everything you read, it’s good to have the truth come from the original source. And this is just more proof of that.
