Tyrese‘s ex-wife Norma Mitchell broke her silence on her former marriage to Tyrese. The couple began dating in 2002, married in 2007 and Tyrese filed for divorce less than a year later.

Norma revealed the union had some rocky moments. “Yes, there was [physical and emotional abuse in my marriage],” she told MadameNoire. “Definitely. If you have this conversation with many women, they can tell you the exact same thing. Sometimes it’s so covert that you don’t know it’s happening until it’s happening.”

Norma & Tyrese have been battling it out in court for years. Norma was recently granted permission to take their daughter Shayla to Isreal to visit her mother and ailing grandmother.

“I’m not a flight risk. It was sad for me seeing myself called ‘Satan’ in the press. It really hurt my feelings. I would never take my daughter to live in a different country away from her father. And if I were going to do that, I wouldn’t be asking for her passport. I’m just going to see my mom. My mom is from Israel and she’s in Israel with my grandmother who is too old to travel. Sometimes we only get to see them once a year. The last time we saw them was three years ago.”

It definitely doesn’t sounds like these two will be friendly anytime soon.
