According to TMZ the 38-year-old Fast And The Furious favourite has also been ordered to take a parenting class where he will learn appropriate methods of discipline.

‘Today is the first day of my life,’ he wrote, adding that he was 100 percent ‘exonerated of claims and accusations that [have] followed [him] for the last 10 years.’

He took a jab at his ex-wife, asking, ‘[Norma] ask yourself since you hate SO much why are you still holding onto my last name?

‘You’re NOT a Gibson your name is NORMA MITCHELL,’ he wrote, adding that the only people who have rightful claim to the last name are him, Shayla and his ‘real wife Samantha Lee Gibson.’

Tyrese said he was looking to the future feeling ‘better, stronger and blessed,’ adding that ‘this was a rough season, but these seasons don’t last forever.

‘At the end of every storm comes a rainbow you just have to look UP for your blessings and go get it!!!!!!’

The Baby Boy actor said he was prepared to focus his efforts on using his custody battle as a test case to improve conditions for fathers mired in the family court system.

He wrote: ‘[Michael] Moore, Netflix, Tim [Cook] of Apple…….. I got over 400 hours of logged and captured footage,’ vowing that his project ‘will be bigger than Avatar cause “Fathers” and the lack of support in the courts is a universal issue.’

The actor, also a regular in the Transformers film series, has been vocal on social media throughout his tough times, raising eyebrows with instances such as a teary clip in which he bemoaned his family problems. He later blamed the emotional outburst on an adverse reaction to a depression drug he began taking.
