Tyrese Gibson, known for his role in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, was arrested Monday morning for failing to make a court-ordered $10,000-a-month child support payment to his ex-wife, Samantha Lee. The arrest comes amid a legal battle over child support for their five-year-old daughter, Soraya Gibson.

Gibson had warned his social media followers in advance of his potential arrest over the weekend, alleged bias against him in the proceedings and accused Judge Farmer and his ex-wife’s legal team of collusion — claims that have yet to be verified outside of his posts.
Since separating from Lee, Gibson has argued that the child support payments were excessive, as he maintains that Lee is financially independent. However, the court upheld the child support order.

The incident adds another layer to Gibson’s ongoing public battle over custody and child support. His social media posts frequently express frustration with the legal system and his ex-wife’s actions, portraying himself as a man struggling with the complexities of divorce in the public eye.
The case has sparked much debate on social media, with some supporting Gibson, while others stress the importance of meeting a parent’s financial obligations regardless of personal disagreements or public status.
Gibson’s legal team is reportedly planning to appeal the contempt charge and the child support ruling, suggesting the situation is still unresolved. Many are waiting for further developments, hoping for a resolution that takes into account the welfare of all parties involved, especially the young child at the center of this legal dispute.
