Tyrese Gibson Tells Ex-Wife ‘Don’t Take My Baby’ Amid Dwayne Johnson Feud
Tyrese Gibson recently shared a seven-minute video addressed to his fans and ex-wife, Norma Mitchell Gibson.
The clip started with the “Fast and Furious” actor addressing his feud with his co-star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Immediately after, he started talking about his ongoing custody battle with his ex-wife. Gibson asked Norma Mitchell to not take his daughter away from him and said that he’s not seen Shayla for two months.
Gibson cried in front of the camera and revealed that he’s been giving his ex-wife $13,000 monthly to support her and their daughter. On Aug. 19, Norma Mitchell accused the actor of physically hurting their 10-year-old child. In the court documents obtained by People, she claimed that her ex-husband “pushed our daughter to the ground, pinned her face down, put his knees on her back, grabbed her hands with one arm and beat her with the other.”
The actor vehemently denied the allegations and told his estranged wife in the video that she just cannot accuse him of something he didn’t do. Norma Mitchell also accused Gibson of hurting Shayla for 12 to 16 times, and claimed that the young girl said she was in so much pain at one point that she couldn’t sit down.
Gibson was married to Norma Mitchell from 2007 to 2009. In September, he released a statement to the same publication and said that his ex-wife’s allegations were “hurtful.”
“After 9 years of working extremely hard to co-parent our child, I am disappointed to learn that the mother of my daughter has made gross and false accusations against my character in a shameful attempt to ruin our co-parenting efforts,” he said.
Meanwhile, Gibson was also involved in a feud with Johnson. Last month, he called him “selfish” after Johnson agreed to do a “Fast and Furious” spinoff without the main cast members. This resulted in “Fast and Furious” 9 being delayed. When asked to comment about the incident, Gibson sarcastically told TMZ, “Yeah, congrats to him.”
But when asked to comment further, Gibson clarified that he doesn’t hate Johnson. He just hopes the spinoff will be released some other time.
