Tyrese's Girlfriend: Fight Was "Distorted"

The attorney representing the girlfriend of singer/actor Tyrese Gibson has issued a statement in response to an altercation that allegedly occurred at a Los Angeles home last Thursday night.

The woman's attorney tells TMZ, "Reports that Tyrese punched my client -- his girlfriend -- in the arm, thigh or anywhere else are false. It is true, Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend had been arguing. She became very emotional and distressed during the argument and called 911 in an attempt to get a mediator. Mr. Gibson, frustrated, left the home. My client, Mr. Gibson's girlfriend, who is 11 weeks pregnant, then became more upset and began throwing up. When the paramedics arrived, concerned about the baby, they took her to the hospital. Fortunately, she was fine. Once at the hospital, she was asked by a nurse whether she had been assaulted. She said no. She was then asked what her pain level was on a scale of zero to ten. She said zero. She then discharged herself. Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend are very much still in love, together and excited about their expectant child. She is quite saddened that this event was so distorted."

Police sources tell TMZ they are "interested" in speaking to Tyrese about the incident.

No charges have been filed.

17. Maybe she realized that ruining his career....would lessen the type of life he would be able to provide for their unborn child.......

It is not uncommon for women to take back a man after they have been abused.....isn't that shameful????

18. This story is very fishy. If false allegations were filed, then why wait five days to set the record straight? (I am going off the dates from TMZ's postings). Where did the "story" come from that he punched her? I highly doubt officials would make that up. Saying all that, it sounds to me like he did hit her and than pulled the old: oh baby I'm so sorry, I love you, think about the baby, I'll never do it agian bull crap. That and for some money does buy happiness and quiteness (I know that's not a word but you get the point).

19. Come on people, you know TYRESE punched her in the stomach. But after the story wouldn't let up, you know she's getting a nice sum of money to be quiet.

That's why she knew better, when she was at the hospital and said she felt no pain (even if she did) and that she wasn't hit (even though she probably was)

now, all you have to do is let a lawyer say something along the lines of "she had morning sickness and he hit her in the arm, and now they can't wait to raise the child together..bla bla ba"

same thing on how Britney was so tired on new years, that she fell into a deep sleep during the party. GIMME A BREAK!!!

20. The girl is not White she is bi-racial 1/2 black half White from London her name is Norma and she is picture with him from the waist deep premiere.

She recanted her story asfter she thought about it or he talked her into seeing the damages that that type of publicity would bring him. Why would she call 911 to mediate? She obviously believed she was in danger or was struck.

Why would cops send paramedics if she was not struck?
Lawyers trying to "spin" as usual.

Sad, sad, sad day for Tyrese. Punching a pregnant girl? or anygirl at all don't get it twisted.

24. 10. Man, some of these comments are so dumb. So are you saying black girls don't call 9-11?

Posted at 8:28AM on Jan 9th 2007 by Lenn K

Naw they just end up DEAD!!!!!!!!!!

Posted at 12:28PM on Jan 9th 2007 by Tyrese

25. Latoya you are so ignorant...

That being said, I find it hard to believe that Tyrese didn't hit his pregnant girlfirend. Like another poster said what eventually transpired was Tyrese apologized and promised not to do it again, and the stupid girlfriend forgave him because not only does she "LOVE" him, she doesn't want to miss out on what money can buy her...

28. THIS JUST SHOWS THAT YOU CAN'T WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH WOMEN, SPEICALLY A PREGNANT ONE.

29. Thing is, I distinctly remember Tyrese having a similar "domestic" issue with one of his ex girlfriends.

And you don't call the cops if its just "emotional stress". You call the cops when you fear for your safety. You want a mediator, call your friend or your mama,lol.

Anytime the cops see a black man fighting a white girl, he or both or getting hauled off to jail.(remember Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman). Obviously she's very in love with him and they have a tumultuos relationship with issues. But at the end of the day, it's their relationship. Who are we too judge,right:)

30. Ok look pregnant or not maybe the broad deserved to be hit if indeed that was the case. Im am sure she knew what kind of guy he was before she got knocked up if she didnt know she should have done her research. I am a women and I have no sympathy for these type of women that put themselves in such positions come on know how old is she????
