There’s a new Mike Tyson limited series coming to Hulu, an eight-episode run that — per the Hollywood Reporter — “will explore the wild, tragic and controversial life and career behind what the streamer calls ‘one of the most polarizing figures in sports culture.'”
But Tyson isn’t involved with the series, as he revealed in a lengthy Instagram post this week, in which he slammed Hulu for producing “an unauthorized miniseries of my life.”
“To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for Black story rights,” the boxer added. “Hollywood needs to be more sensitive to Black experiences especially after all that has transpired in 2020. My authorized story is in development and will be announced in coming days.”
Really Hulu?! Stealing a black mans story during Black History Month? #corporategreed #boycotthulu https://t.co/fLRaDqh5O8
