Tyrese Gibson and two other plaintiffs allege they were 'purposely interfered with' by Home Depot employees while they attempted to make a transaction in February
Tyrese Gibson is taking The Home Depot to court.
On Wednesday, Gibson, 44, and two men described as associates of the Fast and Furious star who "regularly provide construction services to Gibson," filed a lawsuit against the home improvement company alleging that the three "experienced outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling" during a visit to the company's West Hills, Calif. store in February.
Gibson and the two other plaintiffs, Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, are seeking over $1 million in damages β to reflect the amount Gibson says he's spent at Home Depot locations over his lifetime β in addition to punitive damages and "a declaratory judgment declaring that" Home Depot's actions violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act.
The lawsuit alleges that when Gibson, Mora and Hernandez visited the company's West Hills location on Feb. 11, the actor and musician decided to wait in his vehicle for the other two men to complete their transaction with his credit card when fans of Gibson began noticing he was in the store.
Though the lawsuit claims Gibson told the cashier he would allow Mora and Hernandez to use his credit card to complete their purchase, it alleges "the cashier refused to complete the purchase transaction" even after Gibson returned to the store.
