For the following years, Tyson kept maintaining his innocence regarding the alleged crime, and it seems that things are the same these days as well.

There is a preview clip of an all-new episode of OBJECTified this Sunday night (8 p.m. ET on Fox News) that shows Tyson discussing the situation all over again.

In the footage, we can see Tyson telling the show’s host and TMZ founder, Harvey Levin, that racism undoubtedly played an enormous role in his rape conviction more than 25 years ago.

Nice surprise… Melanie Brown came to visit the final show at MGM Grand Hotel Las Vegas last night.

After calling Washington ‘a really disturbed person’ who was looking to get revenge after he kicked her out of a hotel room.

Tyson confessed that he was not at all convincing to the jury. ‘Because look at it…I’m Black; I’m big, I’m strong. It’s all stereotype,’ Tyson said.

When Tyson was asked if he thinks that racism was involved in his conviction, he answered, ‘exactly.’ It will be pretty interesting to watch the all-new episode of OBJECTified this Sunday night (8 p.m. ET on Fox News).
