Tyrese Gibson has filed a lawsuit against Home Depot.
The “Fast and Furious” star and two other plaintiffs — Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez — are seeking over $1 million Usd in damages, alleging they “experienced outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling” while visiting the West Hills, California store on February 11, People reported.
The amount in damages reportedly reflects how much Gibson has spent at the store over the years.
He’s also asking for punitive damages and “a declaratory judgment declaring that” Home Depot’s actions violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.
Despite Gibson telling the cashier that he was giving permission for Mora and Hernandez — who “regularly provide construction services” to him — to use his credit card, the cashier allegedly refused, even after Gibson returned to the store.
“The cashier gave no reasonable explanation other than repeating ‘store policy’ and demanded to see a form of identification,” the lawsuit stated.

On Wednesday, Tyrese Gibson and two of his associates filed a lawsuit against The Home Depot, alleging that they “experienced outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling” when visiting a store in West Hills, California, in February.
The actor and the two other men, Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, are looking for $1 million in damages. Gibson claimed this amount represents the amount he’s spent at Home Depot during his life as well as the company’s violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.
The trio’s lawsuit states that Gibson waited in his car as Mora and Hernandez attempted to make a purchase with his credit card.

Tyrese Gibson and his associates, Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, are suing The Home Depot for $1 million over what they claim was a racial profiling incident that took place at a Los Angeles-area store. The alleged incident took place on the evening of Feb. 11. The lawsuit claims the trio were “subjected to outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling.” Gibson estimates he’s spent no less than $1 million at various Home Depot stores over the years.
The alleged incident involved Gibson and his two associates being held up at a Home Depot checkout station due to a “purported glitch in the system.” The trio’s complaint says “the glitch” prevented them from checking out for around 20 minutes before a crowd started to form around the checkout line due to Gibson, a star of the “Fast and Furious” franchise. He decided to leave the store and wait in his car while...

Laura Mora’s “The Kings of the World” has no shortage of beautiful shots. The Colombia-set road trip follows a group of four teenagers as they set out to start a life anew away from the violence and poverty they’ve long grown up with. As the film moves away from the bustling streets of Medellin and into the foggy Andean landscapes, Mora captures a vision of this country in transition that is as stunning as it is eye-opening. Every frame begs to be dissected for the way it conjures the promise of futures and freedoms while also stressing the perils and dangers of such possibilities.
One early such shot is that of Rá (Carlos Andrés Castañeda), shirtless and fearless, atop a white horse in the middle of an empty urban street. It’s our first introduction to this young man. By himself atop this wild horse, he looks equally regal and boyish,...
