Samantha Lee, ex-wife of American singer and actor, Tyrese Gibson, has expressed regret over her decision to divorce the ‘Fast and Furious’ star.
She said that if she had advice from a supportive “pro-marriage community”, she would not have filed for dissolution of her marriage.
Speaking during a recent chat on Hardly Initiated podcast with Ryan Catchngs and Tysean Jackson, the social worker added that she would reconcile with Tyrese if they were both “willing to work.”
According to Lee, she let people influence her decision to leave her marriage and she was “emotionally intoxicated” when she pulled the plug.
In her words; “It’s very important to seek wise counsel, you have to really decide and make a very calculated decision based on your belief systems. I think we do take divorce very casually. I would never tell a woman to walk through that in the same frame as I was when I did it.
“I was very, very, hurt, I was very angry. I remember when I made the decision I was hysterically crying on the phone with my attorney. I was not in any position to make that decision, I was extremely emotionally intoxicated.”
