Tyrese Gibson‘s ex-wife Samantha Lee asked a judge to throw out his lawsuit seeking to lower his child support. Samantha claims he still owes her $111,000 in back child support for their 5-year-old daughter, Soraya.

Samantha was awarded primary custody of Soraya in 2023. Tyrese was ordered to pay Samantha $10,690 a month. But he failed to make any payments and he was jailed last year until he paid up.

In her motion to dismiss, filed on April 14, Samantha opposed Tyrese’s lawsuit requesting to lower his payments.

In court documents obtained by In Touch, Samantha said Tyrese appealed the child support order in the Georgia Supreme Court, where he argued that the child support was not pursuant to the terms of their premarital contract.

Samantha said because Tyrese appealed the child support order with the Georgia Supreme Court, the lower court has no authority to make a decision in the case.

Additionally, Samantha said Tyrese fell behind on his monthly payments and “he has only paid the full monthly amount three times.”

Samantha said Tyrese has been held in willful contempt three times by the Fulton County Court, and he was arrested and briefly jailed in Fulton County last year.

She claimed that Tyrese currently owes her $111,955, as of February 14.

Samantha’s lawyer asked a judge to dismiss Tyrese’s lawsuit for failing to pay the court order child support. The judge has yet to rule on Samantha’s motion to dismiss.

Reality TV star Telli Swift, ex-fiancee of heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder, is off the market.

Telli, 38, was seen holding hands with hunky Los Angeles Rams football star John Johnson III in L.A. on Wednesday. Telli seemed in good spirits and smiled as they left a building in Downtown LA.

John, 29, was selected by the Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. He also played for the Cleveland Browns before signing a one–year, $1.37 million contract with the Rams in 2024.

The “WAGS Atlanta” star has moved on from an abusive relationship with Deontay.

Telli filed a restraining order against Deontay after a brutal domestic violence incident in 2024. According to TMZ, Telli, who began dating Deontay in 2015, accused the champion boxer of choking her “at least five times” since 2018.

Telli, pictured with Deontay in 2022, claimed he once shoved her face in a pillow for so long that she nearly suffocated.

On April 15, 2024, Telli said Deontay threw her out of their Atlanta-area home soon after she had surgery. She stated she has been living in Los Angeles with their 7-year-old daughter.

“I believe Deontay is capable of being physically violent towards me upon his return in June because he has expressed that he is furious with me since April and has been physically abusive with me in the past,” she said in court documents.

Deontay, 39, is 6 ft 7 with a boxing record of 43 wins, 4 losses and 42 knockouts. He has eight children with multiple baby mamas.

He held the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title from 2015 to 2020.

A South Carolina restaurant owner is under fire for accusing a Black couple of refusing to pay for their dinner.

In a now viral video, Christopher Phillip Wallman Jr., owner of the Mill Street Grill in Manning, is catching heat for accusing a couple of refusing to pay after they complained about overcooked pork chops.

Wallman is seen in a series of TikTok videos accusing the couple of “refusing to pay” for their meal.

“This lovely couple has ordered $137 worth of food,” Wallman said in one TikTok video.

Wallman added that they are refusing to pay after spending 45 minutes in the restaurant.

The couple denied refusing to pay. “We said we didn’t get the pork chops that is on there,” the female customer said, before adding, “Call the police up here.”

“Go ahead,” said Wallman while laughing. “I will not be bullied,” he told the couple.

“My husband is a disabled veteran. He works a job as well. We’re not refusing to pay,” the woman told the other diners. She said she is refusing to pay for pork chops they never received.

Wallman told the couple to walk out of the restaurant and not to return ever again.

“We eat out all the time,” the woman argued. “Our bills are $150 everywhere we go.” She said she just wanted her food cooked right.

Wallman later apologized to the couple in a Facebook post, but he didn’t apologize to the couple directly.

Social media users flooded the video comment section with comments criticizing the restaurant owner.

One person wrote: “The owner is totally wrong for this!!!”

Another person wrote: “I will NEVER set foot in the Grill in Manning! The owner should be ashamed!”

“He’s so unprofessional it’s embarrassing,” a third person wrote.

Others blamed the waitress for not taking the overcooked pork chops back to the kitchen when the couple asked her to.

Jason Whitlock: ‘Caitlin Clark might not survive the WNBA’s lesbian culture’

Jason Whitlock speculates that Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark might get the boot now that the WNBA has a lesbian No. 1 draft pick.

Jason said Caitlin Clark might not be able to “survive” the “lesbian PSYOP.”

The sports journalist expressed his dissatisfaction over the WNBA and No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers. Paige is rumored to be in a relationship with her former UConn teammate Azzi Fudd.

The Dallas Wings selected Paige the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft on Monday. Jason said Paige will be “welcomed with open arms” by WNBA players.

In a recent episode of his “Fearless” podcast, Jason feared that Caitlin will be overshadowed by Paige, who is being treated like a hero by the liberal sports media.

Jason shared a photo that showed Paige caressing Azzi Fudd’s back while staring lovingly into her eyes on the red carpet.

“Now I understand why WNBA players are rolling out the red carpet for Paige,” he captioned the post.

In response to a fan’s question about continuing to support the “lesbian PSYOP” league, Jason said, “I like Caitlin Clark, but I’m not super confident that Caitlin Clark is going to survive the culture in the WNBA. Most of the time, that culture you exist in eventually wins out.”

Jason said the media has been on a campaign for the last three years to argue that Paige Bueckers is better than Caitlin Clark.

Jason said Paige “is not on Caitlin Clark’s level,” but she does one thing that Caitlin doesn’t do: “She scissors.”

One fan commented: “I think you’re on point with this one, Jason. The treatment of Paige is way different from the welcome of CC. Caitlin was treated like she was the first white girl to play in the W.”

Caitlin was selected by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. However, Caitlin is a heterosexual which makes certain players uncomfortable.

Caitlin was assaulted multiple times on the court. The referees looked the other way when other players committed flagrant 2 fouls against her.

But only one hard foul by the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese was upgraded to a flagrant 1 foul.

Viewership of the 2025 WNBA Draft fell short of Caitlin Clark’s WNBA Draft in 2024. But the media is hyping the spike in sales of Paige’s merchandise and ticket to Dallas Wings games.

2 States Push to Ban Candy and Soda Sales to Low Income Families Receiving SNAP Benefits

Republican governors in two states are pushing to ban the purchase of candy, soda and fruit beverages by families receiving SNAP benefits (food stamps).

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said her goal is to improve the health of low-income people who receive welfare benefits from the state.

Nearly 350,000 people in Arkansas receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Sanders said taxpayers are “subsidizing poor heath” for people who buy candy, sodas and other sweet treats with SNAP benefits.

“Taxpayers are subsidizing poor health,” Sanders said on Tuesday. “We’re paying for it on the front end and the back end.”

She said junk food contributes to health problems such as “obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and a wide range of chronic health conditions across America.”

Indiana’s government is also pushing for bans targeting candy and soda. More than 610,000 people in Indiana receive SNAP benefits.

If approved, Arkansas and Indiana’s bans on candy and soda would take effect in July 2026. After that date, Arkansas and Indiana residents can no longer use SNAP to buy candy, chocolate made with flour such as Kit Kat bars, and sodas or fruit drinks that contain less than 50% real fruit juice.

Jeff Bezos accused of ‘faking’ Gayle King Blue Origin space flight

Jeff Bezos is being accused of “faking” the historic all-female Blue Origin space flight on Monday. The rocket launched around 9:30 a.m. from a site in West Texas with 6 women on board, including news anchor Gayle King and pop star Katy Perry.

The flight was short – only 11 minutes in space before returning to Earth. Then the rumors began that the flight was staged.

Blue Origin/MEGA

Despite footage from inside the capsule showing the women floating in the weightlessness of space, social media users believe the flight was a PR stunt.

One user on X (Twitter) claims he has proof that the space flight was staged. He posted footage of the capsule door being opened from the inside. A grounds crew member quickly shut the door.

Blue Origin/MEGA

Reporters who covered the space flight ignored the fact that someone inside the capsule opened the door.

The news footage showed Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos using a tool to open the capsule door.

One X user said a spacecraft returning to Earth will usually land in water – not on the ground. They suggested the crew hid in an underground tunnel and they climbed up into the capsule after it landed.

As the capsule lands, there is a sudden rush of air under the capsule. One user suggested a large fan under the capsule was used to blow the dirt away from the underground tunnel door beneath the capsule.

Another user said the rocket flew 62 miles above Earth. 62 miles is not enough altitude for zero gravity to occur.

However, a third person said the weightlessness occurred when they were dropping rapidly back to Earth. He compared it to the experience of weightlessness on a rollercoaster.

In the video, Tina said: “My beauty guru and my manager, Miss Blue Ivy Carter, has instructed me that I needed to dye my eyebrows because they have little grey streaks.”

“And so that’s what she’s doing and I can’t wait to see the end results, ’cause right now I look like Dracula’s mom or somebody,” she said, as Blue Ivy giggled off camera.
