Tyrese Said Ex-Wife Lied In Court
The “Sweet Lady” singer was visibly upset on the video, saying that his ex-wife has allegedly lied multiple times during the trial.
According to Tyrese, his ex-wife stated that she was kicked out of their home and that he also changed the locks while he was away shooting a film.
Tyrese stated that he never kicked her out of their home. However, he did change the locks out of fear that she would return while he was out of town.

He stated Samantha is using the majority of her funds to pay for cosmetic surgeries. Additionally, he claimed that she had only paid her lawyers $7,500 in legal fees.
