Tyrese Gibson‘s ex-wife is accusing him of violating a temporary restraining order that prevents him from going near or contacting their 10-year-old daughter Shayla Gibson.
Norma Gibson filed a police report after the singer hired a plane to fly a banner over Shayla’s elementary school.
Tyrese was hit with a restraining order last month after Norma accused the ‘Fast & Furious’ star of violently beating Shayla.
Tyrese has been testing the law by sending gifts, flowers, a teddy bear and personal notes to his daughter’s school.
The hunky actor allegedly went one step further by hiring a plane carrying a banner, which read “No matter what, Daddy loves you Shayla”, over her school in California on Monday.
Norma’s lawyer Aleen Laura Khanjian tells TMZ she believes the gestures are a form of witness intimidation. She believes Tyrese is trying to influence his daughter to speak highly of him when the Department of Children and Family Services interviews her about allegations that he spanked her so hard she couldn’t sit down.
Norma has requested a permanent restraining order against Tyrese, prohibiting him from spanking Shayla and she also wants full physical and legal custody of their daughter.
She claimed Tyrese “beat” Shayla between 12 and 16 times in the past, and she fears Tyrese will fly Shayla to Dubai where he has extensive spiritual and business connections.
Tyrese, 38, issued a statement, in which he suggested Norma was jealous of his new wife, Samantha Lee, whom he married on Valentine’s Day.
“Norma I know you can see this, I’m sorry I got re-married, he wrote. “I was hoping by now you got over what we used to be… Being bitter, resentful and just felt (flat) out mean will (sic) 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.”
Tyrese knows how important a daddy is to little girls. He seems determined to always be there for his daughter.
In a poignant post on Instagram in early October, Tyrese spoke directly to Shayla in the caption under an image of Shayla sleeping in his arms.
“One day we’re going to sit down over tea and laugh about how they tried to turn us on each-other and what they didn’t know is that it only solidified our lifetime #DaddyDaughterBond that will never ever ever be broken,” he wrote.
