Allers claims that Tyson exhibits "creepy behavior" when it comes to women.
"After we taken the picture, he noticed my tattoo and kind of grabbed me to look at it, and was really obssessed about whether I had Pluto on this tattoo or not... and then he looked for Pluto, and followed the tattoo into my dress.
She added, "My experience with him is he's not someone who has great respect for female bodily autonomy."

Watson, who said she felt pressure to impress so she shared a bottle. Tyson got a little tipsy and tried to make a move on her. She rejected the moves.When she tried to leave his apartment, Tyson wanted a feel and hug.
Watson would later quit her job after he made the claim that she was too "distracting" for him.
The third accuser is a former classmate. Tchiya Amet, a teacher, musician and lecturer claimed that Tyson drugged her and raped her. She said that he offered a liquid in a coconut shell.
"I recall coming back to consciousness briefly, then the next thing I remember is seeing him in the hallway the next day. I lived this nightmare for 30 years, and it stops today."
Tyson came out swinging against his accusers on social media.

"In any claim, evidence matters. Evidence always matters. But what happens when it's just one person's word against another's, and the stories don't agree? That's when people tend to pass judgment on who is more credible than whom. And that's when an impartial investigation can best serve the truth—and would have my full cooperation to do so."
Tyson who is married with children claims that he had not committed any wrongdoing on his part.
But you know how this story goes. We will see how this plays out.
