Tyrese Blames Writers Strike for Failure to Pay Child Support


Tyrese Gibson is currently in a knock down drag out fight with his second ex wife, Samantha Lee, over his refusing to comply with his $10k a month child support order [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Tyrese is blaming the work stoppage caused by the writers strike for causing him to miss payments...

Tyrese Gibson denied he was malicious when he failed to pay his ex-wife Samantha Lee the full amount in child support recently — claiming the recent writer and actor strikes messed with his finances.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Gibson admitted he could not pay “all amounts owed.”
Gibson explained he had been singing since 1994 and acting since 2001. He said he makes the majority of his income as an actor. He said his income “fluctuates wildly.”
He said that during, “the years in which he films [a Fast & Furious] franchise movie, his income is the highest in those years. In 2022, [Gibson] filmed the franchise movie in question, and he has not filmed any segment in that franchise movie since 2022. Consequently, [Gibson’s] income has fluctuated downward since the trial in this case, and as expected, [Gibson] does not earn the same amount that he earned in August 2022.”
Further, Gibson’s lawyer added, “Neither [Gibson] nor anyone else in Hollywood could have predicted the major strikes in 2023 that affected everyone’s income who earns a living from the movie industry.”
His lawyer continued, “[Gibson] was gravely impacted just as everyone who works in Hollywood. Because of the six-month work stoppage in the film industry in 2023, and because [Gibson] has not shot a major film since 2022, [Gibson’s] income has decreased to less than twenty percent (20%) of what [Gibson] was earning in August 2022, which [Gibson] would like to prove at a hearing on this matter.”
Gibson said that his inability to pay the full amount of child support is not willful. He said he has “not had the ability to pay.”
A judge has yet to rule.

This had nothing to do with the writer's strike but more to do with opportunities drying up because of his antics. He's a weirdo and he exposes his personal life straight to social media. He should seek serious psychological help.

Where's his biggest fan who likes to come on here and list all his accolades? How come I don't hear nothing about how great this mega movie star of F&F franchises is doing? Why so quiet all of a sudden?

If that was the case he could’ve went to court to ask for a decrease, while also showing a paper trail of him trying to make payments. Smh try again.

He doesn't have anything. No savings nor emergency fund.

Tyrese stays in that zone of blaming someone or something.

He could have done what other rich folks do in a cash crunch--sell jewelry or other valuables.

Stop lying. He divorced that woman and divorced the child too. He didn't want the child once the woman was gone. All that movie money and he didn't save anything for later? Typical black man behavior.
