Steve-O Claims He Had Coke Fueled Talk With Mike Tyson About Racism
Steve-O recently shared a story with GQ about an alleged conversation about race he had with Mike Tyson while he says they were both on cocaine. The "Jackass" star revealed that he showed up to a party uninvited, where Tyson answered the door and allowed him to come in because he had a lot of cocaine. According to Steve-O, he and Mike were sharing cocaine in the bathroom, where they also had a conversation about race that he started.
"At that time in my life I would develop Tourette's syndrome if I was f***ed up enough, just blurting out inappropriate s***. So I said to him, my exact words, 'You know, Mike, I don't have a racist bone in my body, but I like to consider myself a n****r.' [laughs] I'll never forget, he said, 'You ask me, the definition of that word is anybody who uses it.' And I was like, 'Damn! Iron Mike, deep as f***!'
He continued, "And so we're talking about the finer points of racism in America, or whatever, just sort of philosophizing about how to make the world a better place, and it was just f***ing incredible, man. The last thing he said to me was, 'You know, Steve, everybody's got you wrong. You're actually really smart.' And the next time I spent real time with Mike Tyson, one-on-one conversing, was when we were locked up in the psychiatric ward together."
