Tyrese ‘sued by American Express for unpaid balance of $61k’ amid custody battle over daughter

Tyrese Gibson has been hit with a lawsuit from credit card company American Express.

According to a new report by TMZ, the 39-year-old actor has an unpaid balance of $61,071.35.

Back in November the Fast And Furious star claimed he was having money problems amid his ongoing feud with his ex-wife, Norma Gibson.

Tyrese said he earns $105,686 per month but his monthly expenses amount to $107,576.

According to documents he filed at the time, Tyrese said he had nearly $900,000 in cash and had property worth close to $2 million.

Meanwhile, the action star is back in court seeking primary custody of his 10-year-old Shayla.

In November 2017, a judge ruled that Tyrese and ex-wife Norma should share custody of their daughter following an acrimonious legal battle. 

The actor argues in new legal documents, seen by TMZ, that Shayla will have a better life if she moves to live with him in his new Atlanta mansion rather than remaining with her mother in Los Angeles.

The actor accuses his ex of restricting his time with his daughter and argues that he will provide a ‘stable and loving’ environment for her in his seven-bedroom, nine-and-a-half bath Georgia home.

The Transformers star says he will send her to a top private school and she will be less bothered by paparazzi if she’s away from Tinseltown.

Tyrese and Norma were married from 2007 to 2009. 

The Fast And Furious star, 39, and Norma went through an acrimonious legal battle over Shayla after they split up.

Last year, the LA native tied the knot with New Jersey-born Samantha and they announced in April that they are expecting a baby together.

The child is due in September.

Speaking to People last year, Tyrese said of his court battle with his ex: ‘Unfortunately as entertainers and public figures, you have to go through very private matters publicly sometimes.’

Samantha said earlier this year that she believes her pregnancy has come at the ‘right time.’   

‘There was a lot that happened last year – everyone is aware of that – and so to have the opportunity to … really start a new chapter in the way that has happened, I just look to God and I’m like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe that you would plan it this way and you do it so perfectly,’ she explained to People.
