Singer and star of ‘Fast & Furious’, Tyrese Gibson has won his court battle over his 10-year-old daughter. A Los Angeles judge dismissed a domestic violence restraining order brought by his ex-wife, Norma Mitchell and said the parents will return to 50-50 custody of their daughter Shayla in January. The judge found out that the allegations that Gibson emotionally and physically battered his daughter were 100% unsubstantiated.
Gibson had broken down sobbing earlier in the day when the judge denied a stay-away order to Mitchell over her claims Gibson pushed her down stairs in 2004, struck her on two occasions in 2007 and hit her in the face in 2011. Before closing the courtroom, Judge Shelley Kaufman said Mitchell’s allegations unrelated to Shayla were all either too remote in time or failed to meet the burden of proof. The judge said she found a toxic pattern of “acrimony” between the exes but no ongoing pattern of abuse.
Kaufman also addressed highly emotional postings Gibson made on social media during the case. She said while the posts were melodramatic, including a video that named Mitchell two times, it did not violate the terms of a temporary restraining order.
