Tyrese investigated for child abuse after accusation from ex-wife

Tyrese is under investigation by the Los Angeles County Dept. of Children and Family Services over his ex-wife’s claims that he spanked their 10-year-old daughter so hard she couldn’t sit down.

Tyrese and Norma Gibson are in a court battle … Norma’s trying to get a permanent restraining order prohibiting him from physically disciplining their kid. She also wants full physical and legal custody. She’s worried Tyrese will take their daughter to Dubai, where he has business ties, and not come back. She also wants Tyrese to take domestic violence courses.

She claims Tyrese “beat” the girl between 12 and 16 times. Tyrese says he only struck her once on her bottom. Tuesday in court, Norma’s attorney said DCFS is now investigating Tyrese.
It’s not uncommon for DCFS to launch an investigation as a precautionary measure.
