It’s been a tough few weeks for singer/actor Tyrese who suffered a mental breakdown on social media recently.
Tyrese is stressed out because his ex-wife, Samantha Lee, wants to increase her child support to $40,000 a month.
“I’m doing the best I can with every 24 hours I get,” Tyrese told The Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne. “I don’t need no tissue. Black men cry,” Tyrese said through tears.
Tyrese and his second wife, Samantha Lee, separated in 2020 after four years of marriage. They share a 6-year-old daughter named Soraya.
A judge ordered the “Fast & Furious” star to pay Samantha $10,000 a month in child support. Additionally, he was ordered to pay over $630,000 in back child support and lawyer fees.
Now 2 years later, Samantha is back in court seeking an increase in her child support.
In a new video, Tyrese complained that Samantha earns $150,000 on social media. He said her attorney demanded his bank records and tax returns.
“Are you not aware of the damage that you caused?” he said, referring to Samantha.
“I just got another letter from her lawyers requesting that I send over all of my tax returns and all of my bank statements. Because she’s trying to get $20,000, and I think they’re trying to take it up to, like [$40,000],” he said.
“They’ve been looking at all of my movies and all of the shows I’ve been doing, and they’re over there like bloodsucking lawyers, rubbing their hands. Samantha’s doing the same thing – rubbing her hands.”
“I’m out here stressed the f*** out,” he added.
Tyrese admits he’s stressed out and says his baby mama, who makes close to $150k a year from social media, is trying to increase his monthly child support payments to $40k. pic.twitter.com/PRGypl4f8R
