Tyrese Gibson Announces Retirement from Social Media: “Real Men Cry Too”

Tyrese Gibson, known for his roles in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, made a surprising announcement on Instagram this week. The actor revealed that he is officially retiring from social media, citing a desire to go dark and focus on himself.

This decision comes after a series of high-profile interviews and public emotional moments, including a tearful appearance on The Breakfast Club and at the premiere of his new film, “1992.” Tyrese expressed frustration with the narrative that “real men don’t cry” and shared his thoughts on being an outspoken father and head of his household.

In his Instagram post, Tyrese also mentioned his ex-wife Samantha Lee and his current girlfriend Zelie Timothy, vowing to no longer make public posts about them. He credited his recent album, “Beautiful Pain,” to the hard life transition he has been going through.

The actor emphasized the importance of recognizing men’s emotions and the role they play as fathers, kings, husbands, and providers. He praised mothers for their physicality in bringing life into the world but stressed that men also have feelings that should be acknowledged.

It remains to be seen if Tyrese’s retirement from social media will be permanent, but for now, he is taking a step back from the online world. Fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for the actor and musician.
