Tyrese Slams Ex-Wife In New Social Media Message After Big Win In Court

Posted On : November 18, 2017

Tyrese’s life is finally getting back on track. After a weeks-long court battle over child abuse allegations, Tyrese has won big in court. Not only was the investigation closed, but he will continue to have joint custody of his daughter. In January, he and his ex-wife Norma Mitchell will go back to their regular schedule with their daughter Shayla. After leaving the courthouse yesterday, Tyrese had very little to say to the media. But that definitely didn’t mean he had nothing to say.

A Win For Shayla:

On Saturday, November 18, the singer/actor took to social media with a series of photos with his daughter. The photos also included a lengthy caption detailing his recent legal battle with his ex-wife. Although many headlines give Tyrese credit for winning in court, he insists Shayla is the real winner at the end of the day. “Today is not a win for me, it is a win for our daughter, Shayla. Who unfortunately has been exposed to tension, private and public embarrassment and growing up and feeling torn between 2 parents who are no longer married…… It is a win because she gets to spend equal time with both of her parents in joint legal custody while she continues to grow in a happy and healthy environment – this has always been and will continue to be my priority.”

Today is not a win for me, it is a win for our daughter, Shayla. Who unfortunately has been exposed to tension, private and public embarrassment and growing up and feeling torn between 2 parents who are no longer married…… It is a win because she gets to spend equal time with both of her parents in joint legal custody while she continues to grow in a happy and healthy environment – this has always been and will continue to be my priority. I hope all of the fathers feel encouraged by this cause if was the real “Fathers” out there who reached out and kept me encouraged along the way and for that I can’t thank you enough… – For 10 years I have been the best father I could be, all while quietly being on the receiving end of constant toxic false accusations by the mother of my child. And of course all the while being thrusted into unexpected social media storms all while trying to fight for my career and stay afloat financially. Today I am proud that the courts have put an end to Norma’s toxic nonsense, declaring that NONE of her accusations for the last 10 years against me are credible. I did not break any laws; I did not harass anyone; and most important I never engaged in violent or abusive behavior. The physical and emotional violence that Norma publicly accused of were all false and ruled to have no merit, no evidence, and was unsubstantiated in a court of law. I am forever indebted to my attorney Terry Ross who brought my truth to light in supporting me, my wife Samantha and my daughter Shayla and my team who wanted nothing more than for this 10 year nightmare of false claims and accusations to end……. God delivered on his promise that if I stand on my truth and don’t bend he will show up for me – Today is the first day of the rest of my life with MY FAMILY, my FRIENDS, my fans and supporters and my business associates and of course my immediate TEAM – God bless you….. broken but I will heal from this #ShaylaRocks.com go there now please!!!!!

A Message To Weary Fathers:

Tyrese went on to offer an inspirational message to fathers who have faced similar legal battles over their children. He thanked those who offered him encouragement during one of the dark moment in his life. “hope all of the fathers feel encouraged by this cause it was the real “Fathers” out there who reached out and kept me encouraged along the way and for that I can’t thank you enough… – For 10 years I have been the best father I could be, all while quietly being on the receiving end of constant toxic false accusations by the mother of my child.”

But of course, he couldn’t end the post without blasting his ex-wife. Before thanking his wife, Samantha, and his attorney, Terry Ross, Tyrese had a few choice words for Norma in the wake of all that has happened. “oday I am proud that the courts have put an end to Norma’s toxic nonsense, declaring that none of her accusations for the last 10 years against me are credible. I did not break any laws; I did not harass anyone; and most important I never engaged in violent or abusive behavior. The physical and emotional violence that Norma publicly accused of were all false and ruled to have no merit, no evidence, and was unsubstantiated in a court of law.”

Hopefully, the win in court is the start of a new beginning for Tyrese and his beautiful little girl.
