Tyrese Gibson‘s ex-wife, Norma Mitchell, is opening up about their messy divorce and custody battle.
Gibson expressed concerns at the premiere of Furious 7 that Mitchell would flee the country with their 7-year-old daughter, Shayla. A judge ruled in Mitchell’s favor that she could take Shayla to Israel with her on an upcoming trip. She said it’s not uncommon for Tyrese to terrorize her.
“I just have come to a point where I felt that I really want to have a voice and speak up for myself,” Mitchell said. “It’s been a long time that I have been going through this and I just want to move on and move forward,” she told MadameNoire.
