Tyrese Gibson is popping back at haters who had criticisms about his new wife. Well, we've got details on exactly who she is and why he called her his "black queen," despite people thinking she's not black at all, inside...
We told you about Tyreses secret wedding that went down on Valentine's Day. But it was his constant commentary calling his new wife his "black queen" that had tons of people scratching their heads.
While it really doesn't matter what race she is, people still had questions. Tyrese's camp told the media today that the new Mrs. Gibson is indeed black -- Ecuadorian, Jamaican and African-American to be exact.
Tyrese didn't give any details about his new wife, other than saying she has multiple degrees and her own money, but now we know more.
Reports state her name is Samantha Lee, and she has a Masters in Social Work and fights sex crimes and advocates for sex crime victims in Georgia. TMZ says:
A source close to the couple tells us the missus' name is Samantha Lee -- a New Jersey native who got a Master's degree in social work at the University of Georgia. We're told she's put her education to work on serious issues -- fighting sex and human trafficking and counseling for inmates. She's also handled cases for the Division of Family and Children Services in GA.
She's accomplished and well-paid -- we're told Samantha lives comfortably on a hefty salary.
By the way, Tyrese deleted any mention of his wedding, honeymoon and wife from his Instagram page. And he had this to say to his haters:
Sheesh.
