Tyrese Gibson Reveals Ex-Wife's Increased Child Support Demands Following Emotional Interview

 

Actor and musician Tyrese Gibson has opened up about the latest developments in his ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife, Samantha Lee. Following his heartfelt interview on "The Breakfast Club," in which he discussed the emotional toll of his divorce, Samantha has reportedly responded by requesting a significant increase in the monthly child support payments she receives.

In a recent Instagram Live session, Gibson shared that while many people have reached out to him after the interview, his ex-wife has yet to take "accountability" for the "trauma" he says she caused. Instead, Samantha is now allegedly seeking to raise her child support payments to $40,000 per month.

Gibson claimed that Samantha initially requested $20,000 but has since doubled the amount after observing the success of his recent movies and shows. "I just got another letter from her lawyers, requesting that I send over all of my tax returns and all of my bank statements because she's trying to get $20,000," Gibson said during the livestream. "I think they're trying to take it up to, like, $40,000. They've been looking at all of my movies and all of the concerts I've been doing, and they're over there like blood-sucking lawyers rubbing their hands. And Samantha's doing the same thing, rubbing her hands."

Gibson further alleged that Samantha, who divorced him four years ago, earns close to $150,000 annually from social media. However, her attorney reportedly claimed that they have only received $5,000 for representing her over the last four years, hoping to secure a larger sum from Gibson due to his celebrity status. "I'm out here stressed the fuck out," Gibson expressed. "She divorced me, and they're rubbing their hands over there hoping I do more concerts, shows, movies... They're trying to get to the bottom of what actual money is in my bank account so they can put it in their law firm's pockets. This is a dirty fucking game out here, ain't it? Welp, y'all keep waiting."

In addition to the financial disputes, Gibson also accused the judge in his divorce case of making "illegal" judgments, which is why he is currently appealing the outcome of the divorce.
