‘Fast And Furious’ star Tyrese Gibson sues Home Depot for $1m over alleged racial profiling
Fast And Furious star Tyrese Gibson is suing US hardware store The Home Depot for over $1m (£790,000) after allegedly being racially profiled.The actor, who has appeared in seven of the blockbuster movies, claimed that he and two associates were subjected to “outrageous discriminatory mistreatment” during an incident in February.A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles earlier this week detailed the incident that allegedly occurred in The Home Depot store in West Hills, Los Angeles County.According to Variety, the alleged incident involved Gibson and Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez being held up due to a “purported glitch in the system.”The trio’s complaint claims that it prevented them from checking out for around 20 minutes before a crowd started to form around the checkout.A post shared by TYRESE (@tyrese)Gibson is said to have decided to leave the store and wait in his car while Mora and Hernandez waited to complete the transaction.The suit alleges that once Gibson made the cashier aware of his plan, and permitted his associates to use his credit card, the Home Depot employee “acknowledged Gibson and said he understood”.But the cashier allegedly continued to deny the transaction, even after Gibson tried sharing his consent over FaceTime and later in person.The complaint allegedly stated: “The cashier gave no reasonable explanation other than repeating ‘store policy’ and demanded to see a form of identification. The manager refused to speak with Gibson in person.
