For the past couple months, we’ve watched singer/actor, Tyrese, slowly break down over the current custody battle to get his 11 year old daughter, Shayla, back. His ex-wife, Norma Gibson, has kept Shayla away from Tyrese for over two months, after claiming he beat Shayla- a claim Tyrese denies.

As a result, we’ve witnessed Tyrese appearing to hold it together at times, and we’ve also seen him completely lose his grip and flip the hell out in his cringe-worthy social media meltdown video. Millions watched in pain and shock as Tyrese was in clear agony and crying out, “Don’t take my daughter!!!”

At that time, Tyrese stated that he was not crazy, he was just a father in pain, who loves his child and longs to be a vital part of her life.

Tyrese’s New Shocking Confession

Now though, Tyrese is giving the REAL reason why he had that mental/emotional breakdown. Apparently, it has less to do with the pain of not seeing his daughter, and more to do with psychiatric medication. Yep, you read that right, Tyrese posted a lengthy message on Instagram to explain that at the time of his meltdown, he’d been prescribed the psychotic med, Rexulti. The med was prescribed to help him alleviate his extreme depression, due to having his daughter taken away from him and the fight to get her back.

Tyrese apologized to his fans for meltdown and made it very clear that he does not do drugs, nor drink. Check out his confession below:

11:11 today here’s my public apology – everything just changed Medication post I want you guys to know that to this day I don’t drink, smoke or on any level do I do drugs……… because of this high stress and very traumatic experience I was advised then ultimately connected with multiple therapist and psychiatrist I had a few private meetings and this particular drug that was suggested although maybe helpful to others had an adverse effect on me and this is the reason I had a complete meltdown online – I’m in the clear now, this is being flushed out of my system and I’m already to get back at 100% – please don’t chalk this up as “oversharing” a lot of people were effected by what these meds did to me over these last 2 months and this is my public apology a few I will make personally I’m so very sorry guys – please guys just know again this is not the Singer, actor this is Shayla’s father……….. This will NOT compromise my case…. This is transparency and honesty and more of a suggestion, please seek professional opinions when it comes to drugs especially psychiatric meds. We all need to be still and preset in the Lord and he will deal with your fights and reality”. Praying for you guys, and Pray for me and my family ! Love You TYRESE.

According to one law firm that had a class action lawsuit for those affected by Rexulti, the medication can cause serious side effects, such as the ones we witnessed in Tyrese’s meltdown video:

Via RexultiClaims.com– Bowen Painter Trial Lawyers is investigating the drug Rexulti (brexPIPRAZOLE) and its potential undisclosed side effects such as compulsive behavior. Rexulti is a medication typically prescribed for the treatment of depression and schizophrenia. Like its predecessor ABILIFY (ariPIPRAZOLE), Rexulti may cause compulsive gambling, compulsive sexual behavior, compulsive shopping, compulsive eating and other compulsive behavior. These behaviors can ruin lives and families.
