Last year Tyrese Gibson filed a $1 million lawsuit against Home Depot after accusing them of discrimination for asking his workers for ID after they tried to make purchases using Tyrese's credit card while he was not present [click here if you missed that].
Now Home Depot is accusing Tyrese of using exaggerated theatrics to make his case...
From Radar Online
Home Depot slammed Tyrese Gibson as part of the actor’s lawsuit over alleged racial profiling at an LA store.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, lawyers for Home Depot accused Tyrese of “exaggerated theatrics” on the date in question.
In a newly filed motion, Tyrese accused Home Depot of failing to turn over any requested documents or make its employee witnesses available for depositions. He claimed Home Depot said it would only produce certain information as long as Tyrese agreed to a protective order — which Tyrese said they never mentioned previously, and he doesn’t agree to.
Home Depot fired back at Tyrese’s accusations. Lawyers for the store said they are actively working to provide dates of availability for depositions of the employees involved in the matter.
The store said it needed a protective order before handing over documents to Tyrese.
It argued, “[Tyrese], a celebrity with 19.5 million Instagram followers, has publicly posted information -- such as the video recordings taken on the date of the incident, which were objected to by at least one employee. These postings were then shared and reposted including by media outlets. A protective order will prevent public dissemination of private communications of non-parties that were never intended to be public.”
Home Depot said it expected a lawsuit from Tyrese due to his “statements and exaggerated theatrics on the date of the incident.”
Regarding turning over security footage, Home Depot argued, “CCTV footage is not made available to the public and, due to the camera locations, captures private and sensitive customer information.” Lawyers for the company said it would turn over footage once a protective order was entered.
A judge has yet to rule on the matter.

She's far from being a "Karen."
All this clown knows is theatrics.
That fool couldn't wait to name drop himself --
I'm Tyrese, an actor in the Fast & Furious movies ...
What a complete douche.
Expose him Home Depot!
He was wrong for this all because no one recognized him as a celebrity and when he told them he was one he still got the same treatment Tyrese no one is going to allow someone else to use you’re credit card who are not on the account all do you can later dispute the charge and claim it was fraud. Bye
CRYRESE GIBSON: CHARGED WITH BEING DRAMA
Verdict: GUILTY AS MF CHARGED
The title should read Everybody Accuses Tyrese of Exaggerated Theatrics and We Are Sick of Him and His Foolishness. GET.SOME.HELP. TYRESE!
We all saw the tape. Go home Lie-rese.
He should be glad they are being so over caucuses. Identity theft is real.
Since Tyrese would prefer to be Latino, there you go.
If there were more ID checks...
I find it odd Home Depot is dragging their feet on providing witnesses. While Tyrese can over-exaggerate a situation, in this case he's right. If Tyrese can prove, as he's stated before, that he can prove specifically that this cashier would allow certain shoppers to be exempt from showing their ID while using a credit card, then he wins. I have been in and out of Home Depot and made large purchases during a renovation and never once have I had to show my ID. Not once.
He gives someone his credit card to use, then dispute the charges for card fraud, everybody is hp to you /CRYRESE
