The Daily Star today reports that Mike Tyson – who’s rumoured to be on the shortlist for this year’s Celebrity Big Brother – was “offered a sex session” with Michael Jackson’s sister La Toya Jackson, by her “abusive husband” Jack Gordon.

La Toya, who was formerly a housemate on Channel 4’s Celebrity Big Brother, was also reportedly forced to take part in group sex sessions and to pose for Playboy.

La Toya made the revelations while appearing on US chat show ‘The Talk’, where she added, “Tyson later told my mother and father and some other friends that Gordon had told him if he wanted to sleep with me he had to pay $100,000 (£60,000).

“And I had to do that because I knew that what he said he would do, he would do it.” Read more & comment »
