Rock Bottom: Tyrese Breaks Down In Tears Over Dwayne Johnson, His Daughter And Going Broke

The 'Fast & Furious' star is not doing well.

Haven’t been on social media since early this morning? Then you’ve missed a lot if you’re a Tyrese fan.

  • Initially, the actor/singer took to Instagram and ripped his baby’s mother for trying to “kill” his reputation and says he’s too poor to continue fighting for custody of his daughter.

    "CAA tried but couldn’t book me anything cause my ex wife killed my reputation so no one wants to hire me.It’s not about I know I know I know right?? Says the man on the Forbes list,” he captioned, in part. “Make sure you kiss your 2 daughters when you get home I wish I could but I can’t afford to fight for my baby anymore so they’re likely going to take her away."

  • He also dragged The Rock into today’s social media outburst. Initially, it didn’t seem like he was going to be very malicious with him, and rather presented what sounded like a misunderstood scenario.

    "FYI I was never mad at The Rock - I was just mad that he was ‘pitched’ an idea privately and said yes to it without thinking of what I’m dealing with personally," he wrote. "I’m almost broke paying legal fees and is doing what we committed to doing for the #FastFans and #FastFamily cause the fast is tradition it’s not just another Movie Fast was created to COUNTER images of racism to counter that WE ARE NOT ONE RACE."

    Then, things got even more sad for Mr. Gibson. TMZ, floated a new selfie video Tyrese apparently made of him crying before a court session where the actor says he hasn’t seen his daughter in two months. He says the court can’t see fathers “who do care” under shadowed by the ones who don’t.

  • "They're not able to tell the difference between the good ones and the bad ones, between the criminals and the men of God," he says in the video. "The Muslims, the Jews, the Christians, the men that wake up every day...to focus on one thing."

    He also says that the custody battle for his 10-year-old daughter Shayla is costing him a lot of money.

    "I'm at thirteen thousand dollars a month, what more do you want from me!" Tyrese says in ending the vid. He also seems slighted by the "millionaire and billionaire" friends aren't helping him in his time of need.

    THEN, after that, Tyrese posted a video that may disappoint fans of the Fast series. Apparently, that Rock rift that we previously mentioned isn’t simply a disagreement. Tyrese even went as far as to say that if Dwayne Johnson is in Fast9 that he would definitely not return to the cast.

  • “Hello world………. hello loyal fans and loved ones from OUR fast universe…….. I’m sorry to announce that if Dewayne is in Fast9 there will no more Roman Peirce [sic]” he wrote alongside a photo showing Vin Diesel hugging him with The Rock stands next to them. “You mess with family and my daughters survival I mess with yours……… close your eyes dude you’re a ‘Clown.’”

    He wasn’t done, either.

    “#CandyAssBitchMade All my real one…. Men on integrity… my real ones out here stand UP,” he continued. “Folks that GP to the gym and get big naturally #NoJuice #NoOJ spin off huh? Spin off these nuts selfish champ…… pause notice who’s got his arms around my shoulder and who’s standing alone –#OurChildrenMatter.”

    Previously, we thought Tyrese’s feud with Johnson was over his spinoff film, slate for a 2019 release. Gibson later told TMZ that it had nothing to do with that. I guess now we know a little more, and it’s personal.

    Social media also had some things to say about Tyrese Gibson's latest breakdown. See their concern for him below.
