Tyrese just can’t stay off social media for nothin’ in this world. Even when he claimed Will and Jada offered him $5 million to ‘stay off the internet’ -then recanted his claim- it still didn’t slow him up. Now, it looks like he’s back at it again. This time, he’s revisiting the details he exposed a while back about his ex-wife, Norma Mitchell. While the two were together, they seemed relatively happy on the outside, but Tyrese has offered a different perspective on their past marriage. He claims he only married his ex-wife for one purpose and it had nothing to do with love.
A Marriage of Convenience?:
During a recent interview, the singer/actor claimed his two-year marriage from 2007 to 2009 was nothing more than a farce so she could stay in the United States. You see, Norma is actually from London, England. Tyrese went on to explain that he married Norma because of their now 10 year old daughter, Shayla. When they learned Norma was pregnant, he insists he did what he had to do for the sake of their child:
“We had an angel. But I married you to keep you in the country. I never married you because we were happily married. You’re from London. I married you because we had a baby on the way and I had to do whatever I had to do so I’m not traveling all the way to London just to spend quality time with my baby. So now you’re running around painting this picture, like we was [sings ‘Here Comes The Bride’], we got married and there was like 7 people there.”
Tyrese went on to explain how fans should have known the marriage wasn’t the real thing. Since he’s a flashy, over-the-top guy, he would have had a big wedding. Things weren’t like that with Norma:
“Like, I am the most flashiest, flamboyant dude, other than Floyd Mayweather, there’s nothing that’s low key and quiet. You know that I married her to keep her in the country.”
True or Nah?:
Tyrese’s latest claim has fans giving him the side eye based on a few lies he’s told over the past couple weeks- which he blames on the anti-depression med he was taking, Rexulti. However, to his credit, he had made these claims about Norma in the past. We previously reported his claims in 2015. That hasn’t stopped Tyrese from venting about all teh BS he’s recently had to go through with his ex though:
“All I wanna do is co/parent nothing else…… Please…. Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt…… I’ve only prayed that your heart heals and we live our lives separately and peacefully on behalf of our daughter……,” he wrote on Instagram. “There’s someone out here for everybody – Norma I know you can see this, I’m sorry I got re-married, I’m sorry we didn’t work out I’m sorry you haven’t been able to find another man since we separated…… Sometimes you get married and have kids and things just don’t work out, but I have NEVER wished harm on you.”
After all of the drama with Norma, you’d think he’d do his best to steer clear of his ex, but he’s still at it, so I guess he’s not gonna allow the drama to scare him away. Hopefully, Tyrese won’t find himself back in court with Norma again.
Do you think Tyrese is telling the truth about his marriage to Norma? Let us know what’s up ILOSM fam.’
