He locked the door and ran after me. Before I knew it, I was on the floor, on my stomach with my hands behind my back. He had a hand over my mouth, and there was a lot of fighting.”

Tyson didn’t let her go until a maid came to the door and heard her screaming for help. She went on to reveal that Mike offered her money not to tell anyone about the incident as she fled his home.
