As a long-time fan of Tyrese Gibson‘s work in the Fast and Furious franchise, it’s truly disheartening to see such a talented individual going through such a public and contentious legal battle. Despite his success, it seems that the family court system has been less than kind towards him, particularly when it comes to child support payments.
Tyrese Gibson has been taken into custody in Atlanta following a heated child support court case. The judge mandated him to pay more than $73,000 to his ex-partner to prevent imprisonment, as stated in the court documents.
In the most recent court hearing regarding his long-standing dispute with ex-wife Samantha Lee, Mel Gibson was present at Fulton County Superior Court due to their shared custody of daughter Soraya. The judge had previously ordered him to pay $10,690 in child support each month as of April 2023. However, Judge Kevin Farmer found Gibson in contempt for nonpayment, leading to his arrest inside the courtroom and subsequent removal by a bailiff. TMZ broke the news about these events.
A Fast and Furious actor has been given a chance by a farmer to evade jail time if he settles a debt of $73,525.73 within the next 48 hours as stated in an incarceration order obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. Additionally, Lee covered $7,500 in legal fees for this arrangement. As per TMZ, Gibson had previously been making partial child support payments of $2,200 monthly, which is slightly less than a quarter of the court-ordered amount during another dispute hearing in 2022.
TMZ reports that Gibson is making arrangements to pay the $73.525.73 and leave jail in Atlanta.
On Sunday, Gibson warned his Instagram audience that his potential arrest could be just around the corner, simultaneously expressing criticism towards Farmer and voicing concerns about what he perceives as an unfair treatment of fathers within the family court system.
In a deleted post, Gibson stated that Samantha’s attorney, Adam Gleklen, and the judge, Kevin M Farmer, who are close friends [implying possible favoritism or collaboration],
“We are APPEALLING [sic] ALL OF HIS RULINGS AND ALREADY HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS JUDGE THROWN OFF THE BENCH TWICE,” he added on Sunday of Farmer. “The second time we tried to get him recused from the bench. [ He actually denied his own request to be thrown off the bench] …imagine that???”
It’s quite obvious they dislike me, but I feel compelled to show them what I’ve achieved in life and how hard I’ve worked for it. I started working diligently since I was 14 to get to where I am now,” he continued. “Family Law Courts can be incredibly unfair towards fathers.” (Hashtag: #FamilyLawCourtsAreUnfairTowardsFathers)
In 2017, Gibson and Lee got married. However, in 2020, she initiated a divorce proceeding. Later on, they both issued a joint announcement labeling their separation as “a difficult and substantial milestone in our lives.
The 2022 hearing regarding child support, during which Farmer instructed Gibson to pay $10,690 per month, became heated when the actor confronted one of Lee’s lawyers after he mentioned that the star of “Baby Boy” had made approximately $2 million the previous year. When Gibson attempted to question Lee’s attorney, Farmer admonished him, threatening to cite him for contempt of court and stating emphatically, “You don’t ask questions! That’s not how this works!!”.
At the hearing, Farmer told Gibson that the $10,690 per month in child support ought to have started being paid from the time Lee filed for divorce in 2020. The judge later decided that he owed a total of $169,000 as back payments.
Apart from his daughter he shares with Lee, Gibson also has a daughter named Shayla, who is a teenager, from his previous marriage with Norma Mitchell.
On Monday afternoon, I didn’t receive any responses from the attorneys of Gibson, Lee, or the Fulton County Court when I made my calls as a curious fan.
