Actor and R&B singer Tyrese may still be grieving the death of his close friend Paul Walker, but it appears his ex-wife is using the actor’s death as proof that Tyrese is a lackluster father.
Tyrese recently shut down his ex in court after she requested an increase in child support payments, but she’s still hoping that she can get the judge to side with her if she can prove that Tyrese doesn’t do enough for their daughter Shayla.
TMZ reports:
Tyrese Gibson claims his baby mama is using Paul Walker’s death to shame him in their child custody war … TMZ has learned.
Norma Gibson filed court docs claiming Tyrese is a bad dad, who should have stayed in L.A. to spend time with their 6-year-old daughter after Paul Walker’s death … because he had time on his hands since “Fast & Furious 7” was put on hold.
Norma says Tyrese blew off his little girl, choosing instead to go “gallivanting throughout Dubai … staying in expensive hotels … partying on yachts, sky-diving with other movie stars, driving expensive cars, and making special appearances in night clubs.”
Tyrese’s camp claims he only went to Dubai on business and the money he earned from his appearance is going to child support payments.
The former couple will square off in court again later this month.
In the meantime, Tyrese has been posting videos of him getting some quality time in with his daughter Shayla via his Instagram account. Check out the videos below:
Tyrese annoys me, but from what I see on his social media accounts, he spends a lot of time with his daughter and he loves her very much. This really seems like a situation where a woman is trying to get revenge through the court system and she can care less if she ruins her daughter’s relationship with her father.
Agreed. I really think she is doing the most and it’s because she’s still upset about how the marriage ended.
It’s always so sad to see parents going to court and dragging their kids into their drama/dislike for one another.
Cosign.
I agree we see this too often.
She’s a cute kid.
I wish grown people wouldn’t put their kids through this mess. Smh.
Didn’t she just lose in court for this last year?
Another bitter woman using the court system to do her dirty work. The man pays enough in child support and spends a lot of time with his daughter. His ex wife needs to get over herself and grow up.
She can’t get a job and actually provide for her child herself like most women? Tyrese is doing his part. What is she doing?
His little girl is precious.
This is a very sad trend. The only people who suffer are the kids. Smdh.
Off topic, if you’re not going out tonight, watch the Gabby Douglas story on LifeTime. It’s good so far and Regina King is in it.
I didn’t even know it was on. I hope they play it again later on tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
Wait what?!? I didn’t even know they made a lifetime movie about her life. I haven’t seen this advertised anywhere. Girl thank you good looking out love.
Yeah girl they did not promote it at all. But you know how it is. Smh. But you’re welcome boo.
@ Queen You’re welcome girl!
Quality time doesn’t come with Instagrams post to show the courts I mean people that you spend time with your child. It is about what you do when you cut you phone or iPad off not on to make a 15sec video. Videos on Instagram will not get you father of the year. While he is giving advise on what black women need to do and what they should not do he need to worry about himself and taking care of his child.
