Overview

  • Samantha Gibson’s attorneys filed their fourth motion on July 29 asserting Gibson owes $492,651.99 in attorney fees and accrued interest and alleging he has made no effort to satisfy the balance.
  • The Gleklen Law Firm and Bloom Lines Alexander are seeking criminal contempt sanctions that could include up to 20 days behind bars if Gibson fails to pay.
  • Gibson has neither paid the full attorney fee balance nor obtained a court stay to block the contempt proceedings.
  • The original court order set Gibson’s fee liability at $399,512, and accrued interest has driven the balance to $492,651.99.
  • The motion renews a legal battle rooted in Gibson’s 2017–2020 marriage to Samantha and their ongoing co-parenting of daughter Soraya.
