Y'all, when I tell you Bryce Gray has found himself in a mess, I mean a mess. Because according to reports, not one, not two, but five different women are allegedly coming after Bryce for child support. And the internet is still trying to process how we got here.
The wildest part, most people didn't even know Bryer had kids in the first place. Then he hopped on a podcast and casually revealed that he has five children with five different women and baby. The backlash was immediate.
Now, social media is dragging him for allegedly having multiple women pregnant at the same time. Questions are flying about where the child's support money is supposed to come from, and the entire situation has turned into a full-blown circus. But just when everybody was ready to pile on, someone unexpected [music] stepped in to defend him because Taraji P.
Henson is now speaking out, urging people to show Bryer some grace and arguing that there may be a lot more going on behind the scenes than people realize. The problem is a lot of fans aren't buying it. Not after everything that's happened over the last few years.
And now what started as a conversation about child support is turning into a much bigger discussion about Bryce's past, his behavior, and whether people have been ignoring red flags for a very long time. So let's get into it because this story gets a whole lot messier than five baby mamas and a lawsuit. One thing about Brisher Gray, he has not been in the news for good reasons since he left Empire.
But somehow him getting sued for child support by five different women has to be one of the wildest things that we have heard from him. girl. [music] We didn't even know that he had kids until he went on a podcast a couple of days ago and revealed that not only has he been living in Kenya, but he has kids with different Kenyan women.
Take a listen. It's okay. You You never know.
You never know. Do Do you plan to have kids? Yeah, I got five.
You already have five kids? Yeah. Got five kids.
Welcome home, brother. Welcome home, brother. [laughter] I got five.
Lil Rico, Tony, Maria, Mariah, and Lil Hakee. You have five kids. I have five kids.
How many baby mammas? Five. God damn.
And I thought I was shining. [screaming] [laughter] Five kids with five different women is wild enough. But honey, it gets even worse.
According to him, all five of the kids are around the same age. Here's what he said. [laughter] Yeah.
And then you pull up over here, they're like, "Yeah, I got five. I got Rico. I got Mariah, Maria, Leah, Hakee.
" I'm like, "How old are they? " They all three months, huh? They all had them at the same time.
What? Yeah. This This is why this is something that's legendary.
They all three months old. [laughter] Yes, sir. All the kids are 3 months old.
Mhm. 3 months old. Go.
They all going on four now. Next month it'll be four months. Wow.
Okay. Is that crazy? Yeah, that's crazy.
I thought I thought I was, you know. So, this man had five different women pregnant at the same time, which means that he was either careless or he deliberately planned to have the kids. And girl, I don't even know which option is worse.
But wait, that's not all. From what he said, he doesn't even seem to like or even respect the mothers of his children that much. When he was asked why he wasn't with any of the mothers, he said he chose not to be with them.
Take a listen. Okay. Okay, that's good.
Why Why are you not staying with their mothers? Cuz they like to wake up and blast music. Scared me to death.
I'd be sleeping be like [music] whiz kid or something come on a um a calligraph they wake up to the loud music it's like oh said you can't do that has to be respected yes OG got to be respected if it's calligraphy it has to be blasted man yes that's cool that's cool that's cool I love I love the music but like 6:00 in the morning [music] like whatever it is you just blast the music I can't [music] it's like that's why I don't live with And the others got to come to a medium [music] medium. And the others, the other girls, one is um Ethiopian. They're very diverse.
Yeah. And the other three is American. Not wanting to be with the mother of your kids just because they play music is wild.
And it doesn't even sound like a good excuse. He's just out here creating broken homes willy-nilly and laughing about it. But that interview turned out to have the opposite effect because the next thing we know, there are reports that every one of his baby mamas just sued him for child support.
From what some insiders are saying, it seems like his baby mamas didn't know that he was in a hit show. This kind of makes sense because Empire was mostly just a hit in the US. I mean, sure, it did make some waves in other countries, but it was mostly a US show, so it makes sense that his baby mamas didn't know that part of him.
They probably thought that he was just another regular degular American living in Kenya. But the moment that interview went viral, it seems like the baby mamas put two and two together. And now Bryson is facing not one, not two, not three, but five different child support lawsuits.
Every single one of his baby mamas wants a piece of the cake. And now he's found himself in a hot mess. But the thing is, knowing what we know about Bryer's finances, they might be in for a major shocker because last we heard, Bryce was kind of sort of broke.
I mean, Homeboy was out here running an OAF and creating adult content. He also hasn't booked a single acting gig since 2018 or so. So, it doesn't seem like he has been making any money from that either.
So, it's kind of unclear where the child support money is going to come from, but it's not Hollywood money, that's for sure. Anywh who, this was a hot mess. And he has been getting dragged for being so reckless.
But y'all want to know who has been in his corner? Taraji P. [music] Hensen.
That's who. See, Taraji is convinced that Bryce is struggling with his mental health. And she has been defending him and asking us to give him some grace.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Taraji is taking up for Brcher like this because she has always been protective of Brcher. According to Brcher himself, Taraji was super protective of him when he first got his big break on Empire. In one interview, he claimed that she even taught him how to treat a woman, saying, "I learned how to treat a woman from Taraji.
She teaches me things on life experiences, cooks for me, Jesse, and Gabby. We hang out outside of set, and it's like a real family. They've been in the game longer.
You really have to listen, and it saves you from making mistakes they may have made. It has been 6 years since Empire ended and it doesn't seem like Taraji's maternal feelings towards Bryer have changed. Now she's asking fans to go easy on him because allegedly he's still dealing with some mental health issues.
And some fans agree with Taraji like this person who said, "We can't treat the mentally ill like a spectacle FR. Let's hope he finds the right meds and the right path forward. " However, this other fan asked a valid question when they asked who opened for him.
This other person also said, "What? I thought he just had the one wife who filed domestic violence charges against him. This is sad, y'all.
This man has spread his legacy over five different people. I hope his kids do not turn out like him. SMH.
Now, like I said, these questions are valid. I'm not trying to knock a man who's struggling with his mental health. But the last we heard about him with a woman, he was accused of hurting her very bad.
I'm talking about the time in July 2020 when his wife at the time, Candace Jimdar, begged for help from a random passer by on the street, claiming that she was a vict DV and that her husband had hit her and even choked her until she passed out. Good evening. Thanks for joining us.
Up first tonight, we're following breaking news in the arrest of Brashier Gray, one of the stars of the hit show Empire. Tonight, we're seeing hours of new video from his July arrest that [music] ended with his wife flagging down police and telling them the actor had a her for hours inside their Goodyear home. She claimed that she had confronted him about cheating on her, which made him angry and he started putting his hands on her.
The alleged crime brutal. Gray's wife calling 911 after escaping him at a Goodyear QT claiming Gray punched her hundreds of times, strangled her, [music] and threatened her with a knife. She went to the police and a unit of negotiators was sent to her residence.
Bryer was indoors and the police negotiated with him for 9 hours before he agreed to surrender. He was charged with a felony aggrav a misdemeanor [music] and a misdemeanor disorderly misconduct. His mug shot quickly went viral on social media and people were shocked at how different he looked.
There were speculations of substance use and all that, but he never confirmed or denied it. Candace later revealed that Bryer had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD, but he refused to get treatment or take prescribed medication. He ended up taking a guilty plea in the DV case, pleading guilty to felony, and he was sentenced to 10 days in county jail and 3 years probation.
He obviously didn't learn his lesson because in October 2022, the police responded to a call of a domestic disturbance at his residence. But for some reason, details about the incident were not made public. [music] Then a couple of weeks later, TMZ reported that he was arrested on DV charges again after a woman who claimed that she was his girlfriend went to the police and claimed that his behavior was escalating and she was concerned for her safety.
She also claimed that he had thrown food at her and would often pull her by her hair. This was a violation of his probation and he got locked up again. He got released after some time, but nobody wanted to work with him anymore because of all the negative press and the fact that he never really sought medical help for his mental condition.
Oh, and can we talk about the rumors about how he allegedly used to get high and throw wild parties at his house? Back in 2020, he was sued by a former landlord who claimed that Bryer trashed the home he was renting. According to the landlord, not only did Brycher trash the house, but he also clogged the toilets with used protection.
The landlord went on to claim that Bryce left dog poop smeared all over the apartment and in total caused damage worth about $26,000. So, it seems like Taraji has a point about how Bryce's mental health, but a lot of people are still struggling to see what the correlation is between him struggling with his mental health and him having multiple kids with multiple women all in the same month. But I want to know how y'all feel about this.
So, drop your thoughts in the comments and I will see y'all girlies in the next video.
