Paris Fury 'heartbroken' by Tyson backlash and 'doesn't want pity' over Netflix series

Publish date: 2024-06-19

Paris Fury has been left "heartbroken" following the backlash from fans regarding husband Tyson's behaviour on their Netflix show.

The series, At Home With The Furys, gave viewers an insight into the life of Tyson, 35, Paris, 33, and their six kids – Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and two-year-old Athena.

The docuseries sees the family adapt to Tyson retiring from boxing, as well as giving an intimate look at his mental health struggles and how they affect his family. As the series focusses on the highs and lows within the Fury family, many viewers felt critical towards Tyson, which has reportedly left Paris feeling gutted by the reaction.

In the series, viewers saw tensions rise between the couple when Paris planned a welcome home party for the boxer but upon arriving home he threw a blanket at her and went to greet the family’s Rottweiler instead. In another scene, Tyson spoke openly about how his mental health can affect his family.

“I’m up and down all the time, and it’s uncontrollable,” he said. “I take it out on people around me. Sometimes I seem very selfish but I don’t have control of it.”

Some viewers were very critical when it came to Tyson's relationship with his family, but a source close to the Fury family insists Paris doesn't want pity from fans. “Paris is heartbroken by the comments she’s seeing about Tyson. She has always known he’s someone difficult to get your head around and that he can be hard work, but she didn’t expect him to receive such a bad reception from the public,” the insider told OK! Magazine.

“She’s so headstrong, so she’s finding it really hard to see so many comments taking pity on her for the way Tyson’s mental health sometimes causes him to behave.”

The source added that Paris “adores Tyson despite his flaws” and knows he’s a “great dad and a great husband”.

“She’s always been aware of his mental health battles,” they continued. “So, she didn’t expect viewers to take such a critical view of their marriage because she’s just so used to how things roll with Tyson.”

In the series, Paris insisted their 15-year marriage had never been stronger. She said: “I think Tyson at times comes off as alpha male, manly. But yet, he has a really soft side that people don’t see.”

In another scene, she said, “He’s got ADHD, bipolar and depression. Once he’s in [a bad] mood, it takes a lot for him to swing back round. Tyson’s thought pattern doesn’t work to the normal way of the world.

“Whatever he says, or whatever he does, I’ve learnt to just adjust to it because to try to fight against it doesn’t work. It’s just easier to roll with it. The best thing we’ve ever done was when we actually got Tyson diagnosed with bipolar. I look now and think, ‘I know why you’re behaving like this,’ so it feels a lot better for me.”

Tyson also opened up about his strong bond with Paris in a sweet scene where he confirmed his devotion to her. “Our relationship is built on more than, ‘My wife looks hot today,’” he said. “Our relationship is built on loyalty and respect, which a lot of people don’t have today. Paris has been a fantastic wife – I can’t give her enough credit.”

Paris added: “I think we’re there for each other through thick and thin – good and bad. Even [during] the hard times, he’s always been a real gentle giant. There wouldn’t be somebody out there suited better for me than Tyson.”
