American actor Tyrese Gibson has been taken into custody for failing to pay $73,000 in child support for his 5-year-old daughter, Soraya, whom he shares with ex-wife Samantha Lee. The Fast & Furious star appeared before Judge Kevin Farmer, who expressed frustration over Gibson’s non-compliance with court-ordered payments of $10,000 per month, a mandate issued in April 2023.
After months of non-payment, the judge found Gibson in contempt of court and ordered his brief arrest. However, Tyrese can avoid further legal action by paying the full $73,000, which includes overdue child support and $7,500 in attorney fees for Samantha Lee.
This development follows a now-deleted Instagram post by the 45-year-old actor, where he hinted that he could be arrested soon. Despite his legal troubles, Tyrese is reportedly worth $4 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
