“I got a prison official pregnant while in jail”

People Post

Shamed boxer Mike Tyson has claimed he got a prison worker pregnant while serving a jail sentence. The former world heavyweight champion also revealed the official in question never had the child, though he never divulged if this was because she had an abortion or miscarried. The shocking revelation came during an interview with ESPN’s Rick Reilly, who asked him what stories he had left out of his one-man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth. He said: “I didn’t talk about getting a prison official pregnant. Oh yeah. In prison, stuff happens. But she had no baby.” While he did not discuss when exactly the incident occurred, his longest stint behind bars was when he was convicted of raping 18-year-old beauty queen Desiree Washington in 1992. Tyson was handed a 10-year sentence, six in jail and four on probation, though he was eventually released after serving just three. He served his sentence at the Indiana Youth Center, which later was named the North Plainfield Correctional Facility. The hard-hitting athlete regained his WBC heavyweight title soon after being released, scoring an easy victory over champion Frank Bruno in March 1996, and added the WBA strap months later. However, his comeback was short-lived as he was knocked out by unfancied former champion Evander Holyfield in November that year. A road rage conviction in 1998 sent him to the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland for nine months.

‘The Pregnant Man’ splits from his wife

Thomas Beatie, who is known across the world as ‘The Pregnant Man’, has announced his split from his wife of nine years. Thomas Beatie, 38, revealed the break-up from his wife Nancy during a taping of the syndicated CBS show The Doctors. He also admitted during the interview that he had undergone his final gender reassignment surgery from female to male. “Nancy hasn’t seen the new me yet,” said Beatie in a taping for the show which will be screened on Monday, May 7. “Like all marriages, we have our ups and downs, and we’re going through a rough patch right now. At the moment, we’re separated.” Beatie was born as a woman, Tracy Lagondino, in Hawaii in 1974, but says he always felt like he wanted to be a man. When he was in his twenties he began having testosterone injections, giving him facial hair, a lower voice and altering his sexual organs. In 2002 he had a mastectomy and legally became a man — but he chose to keep his vagina, uterus and other female sexual organs so the couple could have children, as his wife had had a hysterectomy. He posed for an infamous picture in 2007 which displayed him as heavily pregnant but with facial hair.

You won’t fit a baby seat in that!

He’s about to become a father for the first time, but Jack Osbourne won’t have room for three in his new set of wheels. The 26-year-old was spotted cruising around LA in a new two-door Ferrari California recently. The adrenaline junkie had the roof down on the gunmetal grey sports car, which is worth around $200,000, and played it cool in a pair of sunglasses. His fiancée Lisa Stelly — whom he proposed to last September after a four-month romance — is due to give birth to their first child soon. The former wild child — who was born in England but moved to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles with mum Sharon, dad Ozzy and sisters Kelly and Aimee when he was just 11 — has also just completed the US naturalisation process, and became an American citizen. Announcing the news on Twitter, he joked: “Woah. I just became a US citizen. Don’t worry England I’m still British.” He also shared a humorous message from his Black Sabbath rocker father, congratulating him on his new-found immigration status. He said: “This is what @OfficialOzzy texted me — ‘So I guess u have become an American oh well just as long as you r happy I still love you dearly.'”
