A comment summed up Mike’s new fashion sense in a sentence: “’Mike’ I wear whatever the f**k I want ‘Tyson’. An Instagram user also believed that this was the perfect outfit to wear for the Barbie movie, “My outfit to watch barbie:” A similar comment followed, “Going to see Barbie?”
Mike Tyson wearing a ‘Barbie’ themed attire is even more interesting as a lot of controversy has been surrounding the film ever since its trailer was out. The major criticism was that ‘Barbie’ as a character was highly materialistic and the body proportions of the main character showcased unrealistic beauty standards.
Full grown men moaning and complaining about the barbie movie, writing scathing reviews.

You’re men in your 40s, seriously grow up.
