Tyrese Gibson was placed under arrest for failing to pay child support. Along with his ex-wife Samantha Lee, he is the father of five-year-old Soraya. Tyrese, 45, reportedly did not have a good experience at his Monday morning hearing, according to TMZ.
Tyrese was told to start paying $10,000 a month in April 2023, but he refused. Tyrese has reportedly been paying his ex, but only $2,200 a month, which is far less than what was requested of him, according to TMZ. Tyrese was handcuffed and found in contempt of court. After that, the actor was led from the courtroom.
But according to Judge Kevin Farmer, Tyrese can stay out of jail provided he pays $73,000, the publication was informed.
Of that, $7,500 will be given to Samantha’s lawyer. Tyrese is arranging to pay the $73,000, according to a source who spoke with TMZ, so his time behind bars shouldn’t be prolonged. After getting married in 2017, Tyrese and Samantha divorced in 2020.
The actor and his ex-wife, Norma Mitchell, have a daughter who was born in 2007. As per Celebrity Net Worth, the actor from Fast & Furious is said to be worth $4 million. Actor and singer Tyrese hails from Los Angeles, California.
His most well-known role is that of Roman Pearce in the Fast & Furious movie series. In the Transformers television series, Tyrese also plays Sergeant Robert Epps.
