So you know how sometimes real life can be just as dramatic as a reality TV show? Well, that certainly seemed to be the case for singer and actor Tyrese recently when he unexpectedly exited a live performance to allegedly avoid being served with lawsuit papers.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a plotline straight out of a soap opera. Tyrese was in the middle of a show, belting out his hits and wowing the crowd, when he made a swift exit from the stage out of nowhere. Rumor has it that he caught wind of someone in the audience trying to serve him with legal documents, and he wasn’t about to stick around for that drama.
I mean, can you blame the guy? Who wants to deal with a lawsuit in the middle of a concert? It’s enough to throw anyone off their game. Let’s be real, nobody wants to be served with papers in front of a crowd of fans.
According to TMZ, Tyrese was nearly done with his set when a security guard attendant stood next to him onstage and informed him of a process server’s presence at the venue. While singing “How You Gonna Act Like That”—which feels like a joke that writes itself—the 45-year-old jumped off the stage and walked up the side steps as he made his way to the exit.
Tyrese continued singing and expressed his appreciation for the crowd before making a successful getaway.
A source tells TMZ that there were only three songs remaining on the setlist.
The “What Am I Gonna Do” singer is facing a $10 million defamation and libel lawsuit from Bryan Barber, who accuses Tyrese of attacking his “character and reputation” in an interview on the Breakfast Club.
Barber claims Tyrese falsely stated that the director kept footage from a recorded interview with Charlamagne tha God. Instead, Barber alleges the singer asked him to hold the footage to protect his reputation.
The director also argues “Gibson refused to adhere to the previous 50/50 revenue split that he and Barber previously negotiated for the CTG Interview.”
In the entertainment world, you never know what will happen next. And with Tyrese’s latest escapade, it’s safe to say that he’s keeping us all on our toes. Who knows what’s next for the singer and actor – but one thing’s for certain, it’s bound to be interesting.
