Whatever happened to Robin Givens?

[Taverner]

She does "Head of the Class," and marries Mike "I LIKE TO HURT PEOPLE" Tyson. She is beaten to a pulp, and Tyson goes on to win the heart of America's Jackasses.

WTF???

She was not a bad actress... what happened?

1. I remember her doing a guest star role

in a "Cosby" episode. She played a friend of Denise's who was doing a paper on large families. Since then? Crickets.

2. From Wiki

In 2006, Givens attempted a return to television on MyNetworkTV's telenovela Saints and Sinners,<8> but the show garnered low ratings and was soon canceled. Givens continued acting in made-for-television films while also making appearances on Trinity Broadcasting Network's Praise the Lord program (July 12, 2007), and Larry King Live. In June 2007, she released her autobiography Grace Will Lead Me Home.<9>

In 2008, Givens portrayed herself on The Game. She has also had a recurring role on the TBS show Tyler Perry's House of Payne, and she has a guest role on USA Network's Burn Notice.

In addition to television and film roles, Givens has also performed onstage. In 2001, she appeared in an Off Broadway production of The Vagina Monologues.<10> From February to April 16, 2006, she played the role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway play Chicago.<11> In 2007, she toured the country playing a part in the I'm Ready Productions play Men, Money & Golddiggers.

She's also having some tax paying issues...

A 7 May 2009 article in Forbes magazine reports that the U.S. government is suing Givens over allegations of $292,000 of unpaid federal taxes, interest and penalties. The government has asked a federal court in Florida for a judgment against her on 39 assessments covering eight years.<21>

I think she might be the only person to ever appear on Trinity Broadcasting Network's Praise the Lord program AND the Vagina Monologues.
