Tyrese Ex-Wife Granted Full Custody Following Reports Of Abuse6 min read

Yesterday, R&b singer Tyrese wrote a cryptic message about his ex- wife and mother of his daughter on instagram.

People Magazine obtained court documents revealing that his ex, Norma Mitchell Gibson, has been temporarily granted physical and legal custody of their 10-year-old daughter Shayla, and the singer/actor has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from the both of them.

Tyrese has not been granted visitation, and the two have a hearing that is scheduled for October 2nd.

In the documents, Norma has accused Tyrese of abusing their daughter on August 19th, alleging that he pushed their 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.

Norma also alleges that he hit their daughter “between 12 and 16 times,” which allegedly led to her telling her mother that she could not sit down due to the pain.

Norma also claims that Tyrese has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and manic behavior by three psychotherapists.

Other accusations also included Norma expressing her fear of Tyrese taking their daughter to Dubai, and not returning their daughter’s passport upon her request. She also alleges that in the past Tyrese has cut communication with her and Shayla while she is in his care. The former couple was married from 2007 to 2009. Earlier this year Tyrese secretly re-married on Valentine’s Day. However Tyrese believes that his ex is just doing this because she is not over the relationship and what they had. In the Instagram message he wrote: “All I wanna do is co/parent nothing else…… Please…. Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt…… I’ve only prayed that your heart heals and we live our lives separately and peacefully on behalf of our daughter…… There’s someone out here for everybody – Norma I know you can see this, I’m sorry I got re-married, I’m sorry we didn’t work out I’m sorry you haven’t been able to find another man since we separated…… Sometimes you get married and have kids and things just don’t work out, but I have NEVER wished harm on you……. I was hoping by now you got over what we used to be… Being bitter, resentful and just felt out mean will has never been good for our daughter …. But I see the attacks just won’t stop so I believe this too will pass and God and the courts will reveal the truth….. I want you to know I still love you and wish you the best in all that you’re looking to do… I just simply wanna co-parent and raise Shayla to be a respectful, decent, smart angel that I know she is… Paint your picture but God knows the truth…… if I was a bad dad I wouldn’t of went from 80/20 to 70/30 to 60/40 to 50/50 custody in my favor…… All of the honorable fathers and parents out here keep fighting the good fight you may embarrassed at times but in the end the kids will always run into the arms of the ones who really has their backs in a great father not because I’m famous with money but because I am – that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…. More truths coming soon……. Child custody family issues are the worst …….” So I am sure the truth will come out and we will see if he will get to spend some time with his daughter after.
