Tyrese is refusing to back down...
From People
Tyrese Gibson is speaking out about the latest developments in his lawsuit against The Home Depot over alleged racial profiling.
Early Friday morning, Gibson, 44, shared a lengthy statement on Instagram in which he wrote — in part — that he and his co-plaintiffs Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez "are 100% committed to taking a stand against The Home Depot in defense of our own civil rights and the civil rights of all who have been subjected to discriminatory practices and consumer racial profiling."
"The Home Depot and its team of attorneys seek to deny our claims,gaslighting… Trying to legally bully us and silence our voices as reflected in their most recent court filing," Gibson wrote in the caption to the post, which featured a TMZ headline concerning the lawsuit. "But we will not back down. We will use all of our energy to correct the conduct of the company, in service of the broader goal of a shared future free from discrimination."
Speaking UP [and] speaking OUT against blatant racism and discrimination is nothing new for me," Gibson added on Instagram. "I would never ever [think] this would happen to me at Home Depot…. 20+ years and this is the f---ing thanks we get….."
