Tyrese Gibson Admits to Committing Marriage Fraud: “I Only Married Her to Keep Her in the Country”
I hope Tyrese has his lawyers on deck because the singer and actor could be facing some serious legal troubles.
We’ve all been watching Tyrese Gibson as he continues on his social media escapades but has he actually gone too far? He admitted to committing marriage fraud by marrying his now ex-wife, Norma Gibson, just to keep her in the country.
The two were married from 2007 to 2009. She was a resident of London and Tyrese married her because she was carrying his child at the time. His rant on “The Ricky Smiley Morning Show” displays him voluntarily revealing this new information.
“I married you to keep you in the country. I never married you because I was happily married. You’re from London. I married you because we had a baby on the way and I had to do whatever I had to do so that I’m not traveling all the way to London just to spend quality time with my baby…You know that I married her to keep her in the country.”
Tyrese also went on to mention that if it was a real marriage, he would have had a large wedding. He said, “I am the most flashiest, flamboyant dude, other than Floyd Mayweather, there’s nothing that’s low key and quiet.”
Following his divorce from Norma Gibson, Tyrese married Samantha Lee Gibson in a secret Valentine’s Day ceremony. Over the past few months, Tyrese and Norma have still battled in court over their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla. Norma had alleged that Tyrese had beaten Shayla so much that she could not sit down. She also stated other accounts of child abuse which slated a full-blown investigation. Last month after the Los Angeles Department for Children and Family Services closed their investigation, Tyrese was granted joint custody of their daughter.

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
