Tyrese shared an emotional final post on Instagram after announcing he’s walking away from social media for good.
He shared a video with actors Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez at the West Coast premiere of “1992” in Los Angeles on August 27.
Tyrese, 45, captioned the video: “I’m officially retired from social media. I’m gonna go dark. I’m gonna pray I’m gonna turn my comments off because I don’t want to be reminded of this very nasty and unbearable narrative that REAL MEN don’t cry [praying hands emoji].”
Tyrese continued: “REAL MEN these days are constantly being emasculated and someone has said lately even have the nerve to put the word TOXIC in front of MASCULINITY. Yes, the epic failure of trying to make me feel bad about literally being A MAN, an [ALPHA] MALE, protective or OUTspoken FATHER or HEAD of my HOUSEHOLD…”
Tyrese vowed “I’m not gonna put up another post” about his second ex-wife, Samantha Lee, with whom he shares 6-year-old daughter, Soraya Gibson.
He also has a 16-year-old daughter, Shayla, with his first ex-wife, Norma.
He concluded, “WE AS FATHERS KINGS, HUSBANDS , PROVIDERS MATTER TOO we cry and have feelings TOO!”
Tyrese broke down and cried during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club in NYC.
When he was offered a tissue, he declined and said, “Nah, I don’t need no tissue. Black men cry. I’m doing the best I can with every 24 hours I get.”
Tyrese has been stressed out since Lee took him back to court to increase her child support to $40,000 a month.
“Are you not aware of the damage that you caused?” he said, referring to Samantha.
