Tyrese Gibson‘s ex-wife, Samantha Lee, has filed for contempt of court against her ex-husband, claiming that the actor has failed to pay child support.
Gibson is presently required to pay Lee $10,690 per month in child support, but according to the recent court documents obtained by The Blast, the “Fast and Furious” star only paid less than half of the amount in December 2023 and January 2024.
Tyrese Gibson’s Ex-Wife Files Third Motion For Contempt
Lee is dragging her ex-husband Gibson back to court for allegedly failing to pay his court-ordered child support of $10,690 for their 4-year-old daughter Soraya.
In the court document, Lee claims that “[Gibson] is clearly aware of the Court ordered amount of support due to [her] based on his paying the appropriate amount in November 2023 ($10,690.00), yet for the months of December 2023 and January 2024, [the actor] unilaterally decided to pay only $3,500.00 in child support.”
This is Lee’s third motion for contempt brought against Gibson, with the first being on March 2, 2023, after which a court held the actor in “willful contempt” due to his failure to pay child support.
Then, in July 2023, Lee was forced again to file a motion against Gibson for citation of contempt for failure to pay child support.
Following an October hearing, the actor was ordered to “make all future child support payments” in a “timely manner until further Ordered otherwise.”
Due to Gibson’s recent alleged failure to pay his child support, Lee is requesting that he be held again in contempt and that the actor cover her attorney fees.
She also requests that the court award her “interest on the unpaid portion of her child support that has accrued.”
Tyrese Gibson has yet to respond.
