Tuesday, September 10, 2024 - American actor, Tyrese Gibson has been taken into custody for failing to pay $73k in child support for his daughter with ex-wife Samantha Lee.
TMZ reports that Gibson, who shares a 5-year-old
daughter, Soraya, with his ex-wife Samantha Lee, appeared
before Judge Kevin Farmer to address the child support payments he
was ordered to pay earlier this year.
During the hearing, Judge Farmer expressed frustration over
Gibson’s failure to pay the $10,000 per month that was mandated back in April
2023.
After several months of non-compliance, the judge found
Gibson in contempt of court. Tyrese was then placed in handcuffs by the bailiff
and briefly taken into custody.
However, the judge noted that Tyrese could resolve the
situation and avoid further legal consequences by paying a total of $73,000.
This amount includes back child support payments as well as $7,500 in attorney
fees for Samantha Lee.
The arrest comes just a day after the 45-year-old star
posted a lengthy and now-deleted message on Instagram, where he claimed that he
could be arrested as early as Monday morning.
The Fast & The Furious actor reportedly has a net
worth of $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
