Tyrese Gibson wants justice after an unfortunate trip to the Home Depot. This week, the 44-year-old actor filed a new lawsuit against the construction and home repair retail giant alleging discrimination and racial profiling at one of its stores in West Hills, California.
The incident in question occurred back in February, according to the Fast and the Furious actor and the two men with whom he has filed the lawsuit.
And now, he is seeking more than $1 million in damages as well as a punitive amount over their allegation that Home Depot violated the state of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.
