*Tyrese is speaking out against his ex-wife’s claims that he physically abused their daughter, Shayla.
Norma Gibson claims that on August 19 while their 10-year-old was visiting with her father, he allegedly became angry with her about birthday money she took from her piggy bank.
Norma claims Tyrese “went into a rage, pushed our daughter to the ground, pinned her face down, put his knees on her back, grabbed her hands with one arm and beat her with the other.” She also says that Shayla told her after the fact that this alleged beating was so rough on her that “it hurts when I sit down.”
She also says that Shayla told her that this alleged beating was so rough that “it hurts when I sit down.”
The incident forced Norma to file court papers seeking an order of protection. The Blast reports that the request has been granted and keeps Tyrese from having contact with Shayla or Norma until the next hearing on October 2. Norma was granted physical custody of their daughter while Tyrese has been barred from visitation.
Court docs also state that Norma is fearful that her ex might try and take their daughter to Dubai, where he has influence with some royal families. Norma believes if Tyrese takes Shayla away, it would be quite challenging to bring her home “from a Muslim country.”

Tyrese and Norma were married from 2007-2009, and 8 years after they called it quits, he tied the knot with Samantha Lee (in February of this year).
Madame Noire chatted with Norma in 2015 about how she was explaining all of the negative press that she and Tyrese were receiving to Shayla.
“I explain to her the reality of what media is. You just have to say, ‘The media puts a lot of stories out there. Don’t pay attention,’” she said. “I’ve talked to her about it and have educated her on other stories of people who have negative things in the media. She has an understanding that it’s like watching a movie. It’s not reality and that what we go through in our personal lives only makes us stronger.”
