Tyrese Gibson’s ex-wife Samantha Lee is opening up about her decision to divorce the singer.
In a recent interview Lee said that if she had counsel from a supportive “pro-marriage community”, she would not have filed docs to end her marriage.
Not only, that but she admitted that would reconcile with Tyrese if they were both “willing to work.”
The licensed social worker was a recent guest on the Hardly Initiated podcast and she told Ryan Catchngs and Tysean Jackson, about her split from her husband. As previously reported the couple tied the knot in February 2017 and announced their split in December of 2020.
According to Lee, she let people influence her decision to leave her marriage and she was “emotionally intoxicated” when she pulled the plug.
“It’s very important to seek wise counsel, you have to really decide and make a very calculated decision based on your belief systems,” said Lee on Hardly Initiated. “I think we do take divorce very casually. I would never tell a woman to walk through that in the same frame as I was when I did it.”
“I was very, very, hurt, I was very angry,” she added. “I remember when I made the decision I was hysterically crying on the phone with my attorney. I was not in any position to make that decision, I was extremely emotionally intoxicated.”
She added that she was speaking with her attorney when she made her final decision and she believes that was the wrong move.
“I would never tell somebody to make that decision when they’re that emotional but of course, I wasn’t talking to someone that genuinely would be for marriage or for reconciliation,” said Lee.
“That’s no slight to my attorney, at the time when I was on the phone and I made that decision, I was livid. I was emotional. If I’m that emotional and I’m that hurt and I’m on that level, if it’s misguided and misdirected it could go in a bad direction.”
