Tyrese Claims His Daughter Has Been Coached To Lie On Him

The actor is being accused of child abuse.

Tyrese Gibson is in a rough court battle with his ex-wife, Norma Mitchell Gibson. She is accusing him of abusing her and their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla. However, Tyrese has a theory on why Shayla is claiming she is being abused.

Norma claimed that back in 2007, while she was pregnant with Shayla, he burst into their bedroom after midnight, poured water on her and punched her eight to nine times. She said the abuse continued after Shayla was born, claiming that he punched her in the head while she was holding the 4-year-old in an elevator. She also said the actor recently pushed Shayla to the ground and beat her. There is no word on what Shayla has said in court, but reportedly she is corroborating her mother's accounts.
According to TMZ, "Tyrese filed docs saying the only evidence his ex-wife, Norma Gibson, has is hearsay from their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla. He firmly believes the little girl has been coached by someone while under Norma's care. Tyrese is not necessarily pointing the finger at Norma, but says someone coached Shayla." Therefore, Tyrese wants the restraining order that Norma filed against him dropped. 
This drama isn't going to end anytime soon. We will keep you posted.
