Tyrese Gibson has zero luck with his ex-wives, with his second divorce dispute turning into a costly fight.
According to new reports, the "Fast & Furious" star was hit with a massive attorney lien on his Georgia mansion in September. The over $200,000 bill was slapped on his property days after his arrest for contempt in court.
Tyrese Gibson has been butting heads with his ex-wife, Samantha Gibson, after their 2020 separation. Their recent drama stemmed from unpaid child support fees, an incident that occurred amid his legal issues with his first ex-wife, Norma Mitchell.
Tyrese Gibson Ordered To Cover His Ex-Wife's Attorney Fees
The lien against Tyrese's home was filed by Samantha's attorney, Adam Gleklen, and The Gleklen Law Firm on September 17. They claimed $217,231, plus interest, on and against the property based on a court order.
The court held Tyrese responsible for his ex-wife's legal fees and ordered him to cover the services provided to her. On that note, her legal reps filed the lien against the actor's seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom, 18,000-square-foot mansion in Atlanta, Georgia.
Days before the attorney lien was filed, Tyrese was arrested during a court hearing on September 9. The judge held him in contempt for failing to pay child support and ordered him to rectify the situation by paying $73,525.
Tyrese, per In Touch, was ordered to pay Samantha $10,000 in monthly child support fees in April 2023. However, his ex-wife claimed he ignored the order and had been paying $2,200 monthly.
Tyrese Was Arrested For The Same Dispute
Following his arrest for unpaid child support fees, Tyrese broke his silence on the situation in a lengthy statement on Instagram. The Blast reported that he believed his ex-wife, her attorney, and the judge were working together to ruin him.
"Getting arrested wasn't easy... As a matter of fact, it was very traumatic... One would ask why Judge Kevin M. Farmer and my ex-Samantha Lawyer, Adam Glickman, HATE ME SO MUCH?" He wrote in the post's overlay text.
Tyrese doubled down on the trio being against him in the post's caption, stressing that he had tried to remove the judge from the case twice. As for Samantha's attorney, he alleged Glickman had "lied and gaslighted and manipulated everything about his presentation."
The Actor Believed The Judge Wasn't Neutral
Tyrese repeatedly echoed claims of unfairness and bias in his statement, declaring, "I pride myself and [sic] doing everything according to the law, but I am not on any level to be abused by the law!"
According to the TV personality, the judge used the child support plan for his older child in California to bill him for his daughter with Samantha. "This is not ONLY illegal, but it's beyond the scope of the law," Tyrese argued.
He believed the judge had no authority to use what happened in his California child support dispute in the Georgia case. Tyrese alleged the legal umpire only did so because "He personally hates my guts, and that in itself is prejudice."
The 'Baby Boy' Star Accused Samantha's Lawyer Of Conspiring With The Judge
Tyrese's claims of unfairness continued with an alleged conspiracy between his ex-wife's attorney and the judge. "I'm very sure that there is collusion and that the judge and Adam Glickman are besties," he wrote.
"They allegedly are texting each other constantly, and they've been plotting and scheming and working in conjunction with each other," Tyrese continued. His words sparked mixed reactions from fans, with many advising him to stop airing his family's dirty laundry.
One commenter found his reaction ridiculous, asking, "You went to jail because you didn't pay the child support. Why were you shocked, Tyrese? You know you wasn't paying it. What did you expect to happen?"
Inside Tyrese Gibson's Drama With His First Ex-Wife
Months before his arrest, The Blast covered Tyrese's legal drama with his first ex-wife Norma Mitchell. Their issues began in April with the actor's scathing blackmail and fraud allegations — wrongdoings his former lover slammed in a defamation lawsuit.
Norma also filed for a restraining order against her ex-husband, imploring the court to keep Tyrese away from her and their daughter. She also asked for the removal of the multiple posts about her from his Instagram page.
However, Tyrese emerged victorious twice in the protective order case. Norma's initial plea for a temporary restraining order was refused, while her permanent restraining order petition was dismissed because she did not attend the August hearing.
Tyrese Gibson is currently facing Norma's defamation lawsuit amid his child support drama with Samantha. Will the actor ever catch a break from his ex-wives?
