Tyson sued again

LOS ANGELES July 16. Mike Tyson's psychiatrist has sued him for allegedly failing to pay $29,000 in therapy bills, court documents showed.

Analyst Mitchell Gibson alleges that Tyson failed to stump up for his costly forays into the controversial boxer's mind, according to a filing in a court in the Los Angeles-area town of Santa Monica.

The `Celebrity Justice' television show said the fighter, famous for biting off part of Evander Holyfield's ear and for his many brushes with the law, began seeing Gibson following his release from a three-month jail stint for assault in 2000.

Gibson claims that he treated Tyson for a fee of $8,000 a month and charged him an extra 6,000 for emergency cross-country visits.

The psychiatrist, who is based in Tempe in the western state of Arizona, entered Tyson's life at one of its many low points.
