Tyrese Says He Was ‘Never Arrested’ For Failure To Pay Ex-Wife $73,000 In Owed Child Support
Tyrese Gibson has spoken out, denying reports that he was arrested for failing to pay $73,000 in child support to his ex-wife, Samantha Lee. Earlier this week, news broke that the singer and actor was held in contempt of court for the unpaid child support and legal fees. However, during an Instagram Live session, Tyrese clarified that he was never handcuffed or arrested. Instead, he was held in a room for two hours while his lawyer swiftly appealed the judge’s ruling.
Tyrese explained that his lawyer, Tanya Mitchell Graham, quickly acted after the judge’s ruling about him being in contempt of court. She immediately appealed, resulting in his release from the room without further detention. Tyrese also took to social media earlier, describing the experience as “shocking and traumatic” in a lengthy post. He reiterated his appreciation for his attorney’s quick response, which helped him avoid arrest altogether.
This situation stems from Tyrese’s ongoing child support case, where he allegedly owes $73,000 in back child support and legal fees. Reports initially claimed that Tyrese had arranged to settle the debt, but an updated report revealed that his attorney filed an appeal to delay the payment, rather than resolving it immediately. The legal matter remains unresolved until the appeal is addressed, and Tyrese is still expected to pay the five-figure debt.
Fans have responded with mixed reactions, with some expressing support for Tyrese and others questioning his handling of the child support dispute. The situation continues to unfold, with no clear resolution in sight.
