Tyrese Gibson Arrested for Child Support Contempt

Tyrese Gibson described his recent arrest for contempt due to unpaid child support as 'very traumatic' and publicly criticized Judge Kevin Farmer for his treatment in court. The actor was ordered to pay $73,000, including attorney fees, after falling behind on his child support payments for his five-year-old daughter, Soraya. He has been paying only $2,200 monthly instead of the court-mandated $10,000, leading to the contempt ruling. Following his brief detention, Gibson took to Instagram to express his frustrations, questioning the judge's motives and alleging prejudice against him. His attorney has appealed the ruling, although it does not exempt him from eventual payment. The ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Samantha Lee has its roots in a divorce initiated in 2020.
