‘Fast & Furious’ star Tyrese Gibson arrested for not paying child support in full
Fast And Furious star Tyrese Gibson has been arrested after being held in contempt of court during a child support hearing.The actor, who appeared at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta for the latest hearing in his ongoing battle with ex-wife Samantha Lee, with whom he shares a daughter, Soraya, was ordered to pay $10,690 (£8,159) a month in child support in April 2023.Yesterday (September 9) judge Kevin Farmer held him in contempt over his nonpayments and ordered Gibson to pay over $73,000 (£55,804) to his former partner to avoid time in prison, according to court records (via The Hollywood Reporter).TMZ has since reported that the actor was later released from custody after his attorney Tanya Mitchell Graham filed an appeal on the ruling allowing him to delay having to pay $73,525 (£56,210) in child support. This includes $7,500 (£5,7333) in legal fees paid by Lee.The actor has reportedly paid $2,200 (£1,679) in child support since 2022, which is 25 per cent under the amount he was ordered to pay in another hearing two years ago.Gibson and Lee got married in 2017.
