Tyrese Gibson has some good friends in his corner. Amidst his current custody battle with his ex-wife, Norma Mitchell – who has accused him of abusing their daughter, Shalya – the Fast & Furious actor has claimed he was gifted 5 million dollars by his good friends Will and Jada Pinkett Smith to keep him “afloat.”
In an Instagram post, that has since been updated with a different caption, Tyrese captioned a series of photos with the Smiths: “#5Million my wife just started my morning off on the right foot….. When we show UP for each-other there’s nothing that can’t be done ! repeat nothing…… My wife kept the news away from me cause I’ve been on with lawyers all day but our family and our sister Jada-Pinkett Smith and my brother Will Smith just sent us 5 million to help keep us afloat – You’ve guys asked me to get off and stay off the Internet now that my daughters legal fees will be paid ! will listen….. The Smith’s and their whole family has always shown up for The Gibson’s Uncle Will and Charlie Mack y’all an uncles for real….. #ShaylaRocks”
As OK! readers' know, Tyrese has been in quite the nasty legal battle over the custody of his 10-year-old-daughter.
