Actor Tyrese Gibson is happy to have been awarded joint custody of his daughter after a bitter legal battle.
The Fast and the Furious star has been fighting to maintain custody of 10-year-old Shayla in a long and difficult court case against his ex-wife Norma Gibson, who had alleged that Gibson had been physically violent to their daughter.
After being given joint custody last week in a court hearing that denied Norma’s filing for a restraining order, he took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the process.
“Friday was 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,” he wrote. “It is a win because she gets to spend equal time with both of her parents in joint legal custody while she continues to grow in a happy and healthy environment — this has always been and will continue to be my priority.”
