Tyrese bailed on a custody hearing this Tuesday opting instead for his lawyer to stand-in for him.
A source told Page Six that his lawyer Terry Levich Ross appeared on the singer's behalf after filing for a substitution of attorney earlier this week. It’s unclear as to why Tyrese decided not to show his face for the hearing. The bitter custody battle has taken quite the toll on the singer who has made his struggles very public through social media. He's posted videos of himself crying and twerking along with clips of him pulling over-the-top stunts to impress his daughter.
His ex-wife Norma Gibson’s attorney requested that Tyrese undergo a mental evaluation. The request has not yet been approved by the judge. Her attorney also claims that Tyrese’s recent videos about his daughter violate a gag order that is currently in place.
Tyrese had originally attempted to represent himself in court on Tuesday. He blamed some of his recent meltdowns on “psych meds” over the weekend. “This sh*t is completely out of my system,” he wrote. “I flushed these psych meds down the toilet and I’m already back at 100% — please don’t chalk this up as 'oversharing' a lot of people were affected by what these psych meds did to me over these last 2 months and this is my public apology I’m so very sorry guys.”
