Tyrese Gibson, a well-known actor from the Fast and Furious franchise, has been arrested today for reportedly failing to pay his full child support. This news has been circulating in the media, claiming that Tyrese has been facing some financial troubles with his ex-wife Samantha Lee, with whom he shares a five-year-old daughter named Soraya.
Tyrese and Samantha got married in 2017 and welcomed their daughter in 2018. However, their marriage did not last long and they announced their divorce in 2020, after just three years of being together. The split turned bitter when they got into a dispute over finances and child support.
According to reports, Tyrese appeared in Fulton County Court today to face Judge Kevin Farmer in regards to the ongoing child support battle. TMZ reports that he had failed to pay the $10,000 monthly sum that the judge had ordered last April, and instead, had been paying his former partner around $2,200 a month. During the hearing, he was held in contempt of court by Judge Farmer and was taken into custody by a bailiff.
It is said that Tyrese can avoid jail time if he pays $73,000, which includes his ex-wife's attorney fees of $7,500. An insider has claimed that Tyrese is currently making arrangements to pay the amount, but is still in custody until everything is sorted out. Sources say that Tyrese was aware of the possibility of his arrest and even hinted towards it in a now-deleted Instagram post on Sunday.
In the post, Tyrese mentioned that he might get arrested in court at 9am in Atlanta, and shared that his legal team had tried to get the judge removed from the case twice. He also accused Judge Farmer of breaking his prenuptial agreement with Samantha and increasing his child support payments without any valid reason.
Despite facing these legal troubles, Tyrese remains proud of his success and reminded everyone that he has been working hard since the age of 14. He deleted the post shortly after and has not spoken publicly about his arrest.
Tyrese and Samantha's divorce announcement in December 2020 stated that they had made the difficult decision to officially separate and divorce after much thought, consideration, and prayer. They also shared that they have so much love and respect for each other, despite the ups and downs in their relationship.
Tyrese is also a father to daughter Shayla, from his previous marriage to Norma Mitchell. The Agency has reached out to his representatives for a comment on his arrest.
