Hollywood actor and singer Tyrese has stood steadfast in his assertion that his ex-wife, Samantha Lee, married him solely for his wealth, particularly emphasizing this perspective in light of their divorce terms.
Speaking on the Joe Budden Podcast on November 24, the actor and singer delved into the details of their tumultuous separation and the court orders he deems unreasonable.
Among these orders is a mandate for Tyrese to pay $20,000 monthly in child support for their five-year-old daughter.
In a clip from the interview posted on his Instagram, he said: “We never spent $20,000 on my daughter when we were together, and I had the money. Like, who spends that kind of money on a kid? [My daughter] was one when [Samantha] took my baby from me.
“We never spent $20,000 a month on our child and the credit card was wide open, so what the fuck do you suddenly need that kind of money for?”
In a lengthy caption attached to the social media video, the TGT vocalist went into detail about how he’s made several attempts at pushing back against the legal proceedings that he is convicted have been biased against him thus far.
Tyrese is currently requesting a new judge in his ongoing divorce case, suggesting that the one currently presiding over it is prejudiced against him. According to a TMZ report last week, he filed a motion in court alleging Judge Kevin M. Farmer abruptly canceled a hearing that would have allowed him to tell his side of the story before having to fork over a $450,000 bond.
Instead, he was ordered to come up with the six-figure sum in just 10 days. His plan was to use the hearing to explain why he couldn’t pay the money because of the Hollywood strikes.
