Actor Tyrese Gibson continues to face more hurdles after his divorce. His ex-wife is seeking to take possession of the Fast and Furious star’s mansion in Georgia.
Lawyers for the ex-wife, Samantha Lee Gibson, reportedly went to court on September 17 to make the request for the seven-bedroom property of the television personality, who has been unable to pay child support.
Some observers had since reacted to the suit, wondering why Samantha Lee Gibson was somewhat bent on draining her ex-husband’s coffers.
In September, Tyrese Gibson was on the verge of going to jail after he was arrested for contempt of court for failing to pay child support for his five-year-old daughter, Soraya Lee.
Sources close to the case said he was supposed to pay $73,000, which includes a $7,500 fee for his ex-wife Samantha Gibson’s attorney.
