Tyrese Gibson on "Fast and Furious 6."Universal Pictures
After fans saw a hysterical Tyrese Gibson in videos, looking helpless and desperate in his court battles with his ex-wife, Norma, the "Fast and Furious" actor has posted a photo of him and his daughter Shayla with a lighter and more positive caption.
Gibson had been the talk of the town after his custody battle against Norma for their 5-year-old daughter Shayla was posted on social media. Now, after months of online updates, Gibson shared that the court granted both parents joint custody. He further announced that the decision was a "win for Shayla."
"Today is not a win for me, it is a win for our daughter, Shayla. Who unfortunately has been exposed to tension, private and public embarrassment and growing up and feeling torn between 2 parents who are no longer married," the caption read.
According to People's sources, the 38-year-old was granted a 50/50 custody of Shayla. The joint custody is set to take effect by January next year. Additionally, the restraining order that Norma requested was denied. Insiders also claim that Norma and Gibson have already made arrangements for their daughter's holiday schedule.
But, despite the court's ruling, Gibson again maintained that his wife had been the toxic one, repeating that he did not harass anyone. He also expressed gratitude to those who encouraged him through the battles.
Fans of Gibson might remember that the court battles had taken their toll on the actor, who even went public regarding how it affected him and his career. He also made a jab at Dwayne Johnson for allegedly accepting a spinoff movie project of the "Fast and Furious" franchise that reportedly pushed the ninth installment of the film for a later release date.
He had also been vocal about his financial struggles with the court battles and said that the false accusations had made him lose some projects.
