Now Tyrese has dumped his high powered legal team...

Tyrese Gibson was accused of blowing two court hearings in his court battle with Home Depot, months after he parted ways with his legal team and decided to represent himself, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, on Wednesday, December 18, a hearing was held in Tyrese’s case against the home improvement store.
In 2003 Tyrese, 45, along with two men who he regularly hires to work on his home, sued Home Depot claiming store employees subjected them to racial profiling and discrimination.
The lawsuit demanded $1 million in damages over the incident that took place at a Los Angeles store on February 11, 2023. Home Depot denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
The lawsuit was filed by two attorneys who work with powerhouse lawyer Marty Singer.
In June Tyrese and his associates informed the court they would be splitting from their legal team and would be representing themselves in court.
In October, a hearing was held on the matter, but Tyrese and his associates failed to appear. The judge ordered Tyrese to pay sanctions in the amount of $250.
Due to Tyrese missing the hearing this week, the judge set another hearing for next month to determine if the sanctions should be increased to $1,000 for Tyrese.
Lawyers for Home Depot told the court at the hearing that they were working on a settlement with one of Tyrese’s associates.
The case is ongoing.
