Posted On : October 24, 2017

The unfortunate drama that has been unraveling between Tyrese Gibson and his ex-wife/daughter’s mother, Norma Gibson, is set to come to a head today (Oct. 24, 2017) in court. That accelerated drama is almost guaranteed to rise after what Tyrese reportedly has done that has Norma and her attorney pissed.

Because Tyrese’s ex-wife accused him of abusing their 10-year-old daughter, she may now have to testify against him in court.

Recap of Ex-Wife’s Child Abuse Claims

As we previously reported, Norma and Tyrese have been at a legal war over their 10 year old daughter, Shayla Gibson, after Norma claimed that on August 19, 2017, Tyrese allegedly “went into a rage, pushed our daughter to the ground, pinned her face down, put his knees on her back, grabbed her hands with one arm and beat her with the other,” after Shayla disobeyed him. Tyrese adamantly denied those claims and reportedly said he only hit his daughter one time on her backside to reprimand her for doing something she knew she should not have done. He also said that Norma is just bitter because he’s now married to someone else.

Then came the news that the court granted Norma permission to drag their daughter into the legal process and put her on the stand to testify in the child abuse case. The case was opened after Norma filed for the temporary restraining order, because the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services automatically opened an investigation into her claims. The investigation is a common legal procedure that typically happens whenever a child abuse claim is made, in order to protect the child. Now this…

The Latest On What Tyrese Has Now Done


The child abuse court hearing was scheduled for Tuesday Oct. 24th. Tyrese and Shayla were always extremely close, but since Tyrese has been temporarily banned from communicating with his daughter, he did the next best thing the day before she was set to take the stand. Like the old school saying goes, ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’ and apparently Tyrese made a way outta no way to remind his daughter that he loves her unconditionally. He took his love to the sky…literally and according to The Blast, Norma and her attorney believe he’s attempting to persuade Shayla. Here are the details about the expensive display of love that supposedly left little Shayla “mortified”:

Via The Blast- Tyrese…hired a plane to fly a banner over her elementary school with a cryptic message … the day before she’s set to testify against him in a case of alleged child abuse. According to Norma Gibson‘s legal team, Tyrese hired the plane Monday to fly above a high-profile elementary school in Van Nuys, where Tyrese’s 10-year-old daughter Shayla attends. The banner read: “NO MATTER WHAT, DADDY LOVES YOU SHAYLA.”

We’re told the message is a direct reference to Shayla testifying Tuesday…[…] Those involved in the case believe Tyrese was trying to influence his daughter before court. Norma’s team says Tyrese also had deliveries sent to the school for Shayla: Balloons, flowers, teddy bear, fruit arrangement and a card. It got to be so much, we’re told the school did not even inform Shayla her father was sending them.

We’re told Shayla was “mortified” when she saw the plane’s message, and burst into tears. She ended up stayed in the Principal’s office away from the other children and school officials did not allow other children to play outside while the plane was overhead. Norma’s lawyer, Aleen Khanjian, believes the plane and deliveries were a violation of the current temporary restraining order on Tyrese barring him from any direct or indirect contact with his ex-wife and daughter. Khanjian tells us “This disturbing behavior is a complete violation of the Restraining Order. It is a reflection of Mr. Gibson’s erratic state of mind.”

In a statement to The Blast, Norma said she does not want to take away Shayla from Tyrese, but instead wants him “To receive the therapy he needs so that our daughter can have the relationship with her father she deserves.”

Prior to their drama, Tyrese has always been known to shower his daughter with love and spend a lot of time with her. Their bond was evident from the many social media posts he’s shared of them throughout the years. So ILOSM family, the question is, since he cannot talk to his daughter, do you think Tyrese went too far with his latest plane banner move, or no?
