Tyrese Gibson Arrested Over Child Support Payments

Tyrese Gibson, the actor known for his role in the Fast and Furious franchise, was arrested in Atlanta for contempt of court due to unpaid child support for his daughter Soraya. The judge ordered him to pay over $73,000, which includes $7,500 in legal fees to his ex-wife Samantha Lee, after he failed to meet the monthly payment of $10,690 mandated in April 2023. Gibson reportedly only paid $2,200 per month, leading to the contempt ruling. Although he was initially jailed, he was released after his attorney filed an appeal, allowing him to avoid immediate payment. Gibson has publicly criticized the judge, claiming bias and alleging collusion with his ex-wife's lawyers. He plans to continue appealing the court's decisions and has expressed frustration with the family law system.
