RUMOR CONTROL: TYRESE/GIRLFRIEND FIGHT EXAGGERATED…
Tuesday, January 9, 2007

I’m sure you all heard the rumor about Tyrese hitting his pregnant girlfriend during an altercation. Word is that someone exaggerated the story. Here is the scoop from TMZ:
The baby mama’s attorney tells TMZ, “Reports that Tyrese punched my client — his girlfriend — in the arm, thigh or anywhere else are false. It is true, Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend had been arguing. She became very emotional and distressed during the argument and called 911 in an attempt to get a mediator. Mr. Gibson, frustrated, left the home. My client, Mr. Gibson’s girlfriend, who is 11 weeks pregnant, then became more upset and began throwing up. When the paramedics arrived, concerned about the baby, they took her to the hospital. Fortunately, she was fine. Once at the hospital, she was asked by a nurse whether she had been assaulted. She said no. She was then asked what her pain level was on a scale of zero to ten. She said zero. She then discharged herself. Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend are very much still in love, together and excited about their expectant child. She is quite saddened that this event was so distorted.”
I’m still mad Tyrese hasn’t spoken out about it, but it’s whatever. Glad it’s semi-cleared up.

Really who cares if it happened or it didnt, obviously his 11 week pregnant girlfriend feel it’s okay so who are we to say if it’s the truth or not. I’m very much against violence in a relationship because i’ve been there down that and figured it was time to get the hell out. I feel as though he shouldn’t be hittin any woman more so a pregnant one but if she allows him to whup her ass and then cover up for him then she needs her ass whup. That might not be the right thing to say but it’s reality. If she’s that weak and that “in love” than she has a problem.

I hoped the rumor was a lie but now since they cleared it up I now know it probably had some truth behind it. She could have called his mama for a mediator not the po-po. They probably realized how it was gonna affect his “career” so she thought about it and changed her story. Ty and his BM need to keep it real!.
Hey, it’s just my opinion!

Ditto #11! Stevie Wonder could see through this BULLSHIT! Funny we still never got a statement from Tyrese but you best believe since his girlfriend “cleared the misunderstanding up” he will release some kind of statement now! Get outta here with that crap! And since when do you call 911 to serve as a “mediator?” You call 911 when some heated ish is going down! Like getting your ass beat by Tyrese!

This is really messed up because as much as I love me some Tyrese, I don’t believe this.
If this had come out AND Tyrese wasn’t about to be placed on the back of a milk carton for being missing then it would hold merit, but the fact that we haven’t heard a peep from him since the chit hit the fan makes me believe that she changed her story for him.
I hope that I am wrong about this and she was just a stupid woman who calls the police to try to get her mans attention and that Tyrese isn’t violent towards women.
It’s not over yet because no matter what people will still always wonder if he really did it or not. He’s still not going to fully recover from this one. I say leave the chick, she killed your cred if she originally lied, heck for calling 911 period. Is she not strong enough to handle an argument.

I really dont believe it the story……He didnt go to the hospital with his girl cause he left when she called the cops, so that must means he is guilty if he left. I want to hear from him what went down because this story is bogus. People think stars arent capable of violence, but they are…look what happended to Halle and Wesley or

Well, the original story said:
“Tyrese got into an altercation with his pregnant live-in girlfriend. TMZ says that the singer/rapper, punched her in the thigh and arm. The unnamed girlfriend is 3 months pregnant, and was reportedly treated at the scene by the paramedics. Tyrese has been MIA since the incident and even stood up a scheduled radio interview”
So, now everythig has changed…the paramedics didn’t have to treat her at the scene or did they??!!

i agree with # 28. you don’t call the cops for a mediator, espcially for a black man. Tyrese does need to say something, even though it’ been “cleared up”, he still needs to voice his opinion, maybe?

now you KNOW this shit is not true. His girlfriend doesn’t wanna lose her meal ticket and to do so, she’s called on her attorney to release a statement “clearing the air”
“you still love me baby???? I’m so sorry for getting in the way of your fist!!”

Glad that it has turned out this way so far, but….
There has to be a little more to this -
I don’t know anyone who believes you can call the police and expect them to “mediate” an argument -
This is the kind of foolishness that gets people hurt.
But - the media can distort the truth and even lies, because TMZ’s version when they put the story out, and then retracted it - is very different.

I personally think that he beat her, they made up and now she wants to deny it. Why would he be MIA for days missing interviews and stuff if he was not guilty? You don’t call the police for mediation you call your homegirl, cousin, momma or your uncle that just got out of prison to rough him up! This is bogus!

I think the lady fears him and has low self-esteem. Like someone else said you don’t call 911 to get a mediator. Sad predicament! I’ve worked in centers helping some of these women, I’ve seen it in my family, a lot of them are threatened to be killed or to have their families killed or their children kidnapped and remain silent out of fear. Some of them try to save face cause they’re too ashamed. Some feel responsible and believe they deserve to be treated that way because of low self-esteem and mental abuse. I hope she sees the light before it’s too late, nobody deserves this.

There are women out there that use the police as their personal bully. When they have an argument and are mad and emotional they will call them to “teach you a lesson” or “I will show him”. When they come they have to say something happened or risk a false report and on the other hand some women don’t have a problem to lie about a man hitting them. When things calm down they then regret their actions. Well some of them. I know some women will get mad and they are the one that would not dream of doing this to their man. Then there are the ones that know what I am talking about.

Who knows, could be true either way. I’ll tell you this, I’ve seen enough abuse amongst spouses to now that it happens more often than not. Money, power, or love will keep people in relationships, sometimes regardless of abuse.
There’s a famous former football pro(not O.J.) who was accused of beating up his wife. She called police, they both denied it,(similar to this scenario)but go to any local golf course in L.A. and hear the stories of how he was always beating up people in his entourage on the course. He ways known to do that on movie sets and in nightclubs, back in the day.
Whatever, leave the house fellows, don’t hit your women, that just makes you a punk, not a man.

But really? Who cares. So what if he did or didn’t beat her? It’s her choice to stay in that relationship and it’s Tyrese’s choice to put his hands on a woman. A pregnant woman for that fact. No matter how long you sit there at your computer desks and type: “OH NO! HOW COULD TYRESE DO SUCH A THING” — nothing is going to change. It’s their lives, let them live it. At the end of the day, it could all be just want was posted, a silly rumour that got out of hand. Get over it, it’s a way of life.
PS: I still love Tyrese’s music. Especially “Sweet Lady”.

Whatever, I don’t believe it. Very much still in love my ass. So in love but, not enough to argue/disagree like to civilized adults. Still in love enough to call the cops for a mediator? I heard him on the radio one day talking sh** about what someone said about rnb artist/actors in other peoples videos, right after he was in Keyshia Cole’s. He spoke on that sh** but he can’t talk about these supposed to be false allegations? And not even show up to his radio interview the next day without even calling and giving an explantion to the station. Whatever! But if she wants to be with him, oh well that’s on her.

This attorney’s statement seems like *damage control* to me. Tyrese’s girlfriend could have called a friend instead of calling 911 if she wanted a “mediator”. The job of a 911 operator is not to mediate. But people call 911 operators when there are life threatening situations. I like Tyrese as an artist, but if he really was that angry at this girl, he could have just left the house and returned AFTER he calmed down.

I just don’t wanna believe this KOOL KAT hits women. I really wish he would clear the air so we all can move on! I don’t wanna have that image of him.

Take it from me…if your wife or girlfriend ever calls the police, the cops ain’t coming to mediate shit. They coming to haul the man’s ass off to jail. Point blank, period.
To all the fellas - whenever you get into an argument with your girl, either you run the fuck away or make sure you beat her to the punch, (no pun intended) and call the cops first. Because if she ever makes it to that precinct before you do, they don’t want to here shit what you have to say. You could be shot the fuck up or stabbed the fuck up, they hauling your ass of to jail. Then you have to deal with the inconvenience of going to court and then 9 weeks anger management.

Tuesday, January 9, 2007 /
how do we know this is the TRUE story. How we know they didn’t just make up, and he told her to say this shit. Plus, it didn’t say he actually kicked her ass, it said he hit in repeatedly in the thigh and somewhere else. I suspect her pride was more hurt than anything else, so of course when the doctor asked what your pain level is, you’re going to say 0. I believed they have talked at this point, and now she’s saying no harm is done so he can bring his ass out of hiding and no charges will be filed. they should lock this bitch up for calling 911 for nothing. i hate when women use the police for their own purposes, and then come to court and say they want to drop the charges after calling the cops cause their man kick their ass. It’s so obvious that if someone called the police, either they felt they were actually in danger of getting a ass kicken, or were actually getting their ass kicked at the time of the call. I don’t believe this story at all. And Tyrese needs to get it togetha cause i’m losing respect for him quickly.
