In October 2008, Tyrese Gibson and Norma Mitchell decided to end their marriage, which had lasted for just ten months. This decision sparked a prolonged court battle over the custody of their daughter, Shayla. A report published by Radar Online in 2009 suggested that Mitchell was seeking changes in their custody arrangement and financial support for both child and spouse.

2015 saw Mitchell articulate her eagerness to “advance and progress” during an interview with Madame Noire. She stated, “I’ve reached a point where I truly yearn to express myself and have my own voice.” She added, “I’ve been dealing with this for quite some time now, and I’m ready to step forward and make progress.

Back in August 2017, Norma Mitchell claimed that Gibson had physically harmed Shayla. This allegation prompted the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services to get involved. Later in November, it was disclosed that this government agency concluded its probe without pressing any criminal charges against Gibson. (Information from People)
