Tyrese Tells Judge He’s Unable To Pay $10k A Month In Child Support Due To The Strike

Tyrese Tells Judge He’s Unable To Pay $10k A Month In Child Support Because He Hasn’t Been Booking Jobs Due To The Strike

Tyrese is having some financial issues due to the recent actor’s strike. According to legal documents obtained by Radar Online, Tyrese claims the reason he was recently short of the $10k he owes his ex-wife in child support is because his funds are low due to the strike that affected almost everyone in Hollywood.

Even though Tyrese is a singer and actor, he admits that, as of late, he makes most of his income from acting, more specifically the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise.

The last time Tyrese made money from Fast & Furious, though, was August 2022. Since then, he claims his income has dropped drastically, making him unable to fully pay his legal obligations. He says he makes less than 20% of his income from the F&F checks.

“The years in which he films [a Fast & Furious] franchise movie, his income is the highest in those years. In 2022, [Gibson] filmed the franchise movie in question, and he has not filmed any segment in that franchise movie since 2022. Consequently, [Gibson’s] income has fluctuated downward since the trial in this case, and as expected, [Gibson] does not earn the same amount that he earned in August 2022,” his statement to the judge reads.

“Neither [Gibson] nor anyone else in Hollywood could have predicted the major strikes in 2023 that affected everyone’s income who earns a living from the movie industry.”

His lawyer continued, “[Gibson] was gravely impacted just as everyone who works in Hollywood. Because of the six-month work stoppage in the film industry in 2023, and because [Gibson] has not shot a major film since 2022, [Gibson’s] income has decreased to less than twenty percent (20%) of what [Gibson] was earning in August 2022, which [Gibson] would like to prove at a hearing on this matter.”

The judge has yet to rule in the case.
