Tyrese has been ordered to pay close to $250,000 in child support back pay to his ex-wife, Samantha Lee.
Tyrese was also ordered to pay almost $400,000 to her attorneys.
Months back, Tyrese refused to pay $10,000 per month to his ex, as he believed the amount was “excessive.”
Tyrese is claiming the judge was racist towards him, so he was ordered to pay such a high amount.
According to TMZ, Tanya Mitchell – Tyrese’s attorney said that they plan to appeal the ruling and file a motion for a brand new trial. The actor does not have to pay Samantha anything until May 15, 2023, and she believes that it could be further pushed back after they file the appeal.
Tyrese and Samantha first tied the knot in 2017, but announced their split in a joint statement released in December 2020. The former couple share a 3 year old daughter Shayla and Tyrese is also the father to 15-year-old daughter Shayla, from a previous marriage.
