   Home Depot said Tyrese Gibson made a series of false and misleading claims   
   in the $1 million racial profiling and discrimination lawsuit he filed   
   last month against retailer.   
      
   The retailer has answered back after the actor-singer, 44, in August filed   
   a suit in Los Angeles Superior Court linked to a February 11 incident at   
   the retailer's West Hills, California location.   
      
   Home Depot filed new court docs in the matter, reviewed by TMZ Thursday,   
   in which the company says that surveillance footage from the incident   
   contradicts a number of claims Gibson made in his suit.   
      
   The Fast & Furious actor in his suit said that he and two construction   
   workers he had employed had their civil rights violated in an incident in   
   which he clashed with store employees over whether he needed to be   
   physically present to process a payment.   
      
   Home Depot said that the How You Gonna Act Like That singer visited the   
   store and took a number of different items to the cash register, where   
   everything was scanned in by the cashier.   
      
   Gibson did not pay for the goods at the time, returning back to shopping   
   for 25 minutes, the company said in legal docs. The cashier voided the   
   items Gibson presented to continue being able to help customers in his   
   absence.   
   The company said that the Watts, Los Angeles native was misleading in his   
   complaint that a computer glitch caused the transaction to be delayed.   
      
   In his suit, Gibson said that fans began to recognize him, so he left the   
   establishment and waited in his vehicle in the parking lot while the items   
   he picked up were supposed to be rung up.   
      
   Gibson said in his suit that he had his two workers there to use his   
   credit card for the purchase; and that a cashier was fine with the   
   arrangement and told him he was fine to wait outside.   
      
   Home Depot said in its rebuttal that footage indicated that Gibson did not   
   speak to any of the cashiers prior to leaving the store initially.   
      
   Gibson said that he told a cashier via FaceTime that he was fine with the   
   transaction, but that the cashier insisted he show his identification in   
   person to finish the sale.   
      
   Home Depot said that footage showed the cashier asking Gibson for his ID,   
   and explained to him that he needed to be in person to present his   
   identification.   
      
   Gibson eventually came back into the store and was involved in a tense   
   discussion with workers, Home Depot said in legal docs.   
      
   Gibson filed legal documents in Los Angeles Superior Court in August   
   claiming that he and two construction workers he had working for him had   
   their civil rights violated in an incident at the store.   
      
   The two workers Gibson had working for him, Eric Mora and Manual   
   Hernandez, are also named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Fox11 reported,   
   citing court docs.   
      
   Gibson also claims the company violated California's Unruh Civil Rights   
   Act; and had been negligent in its hiring, supervision and retention of   
   employees in the lawsuit, in which he's also seeking punitive damages.   
      
   Gibson in the legal filing that the $1 million was for compensatory   
   damages, based on how much he estimates he has spent at the home   
   improvement store over the years.   
      
   Gibson's lawyers said the entertainer 'experienced outrageous   
   discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling first-hand   
   inside the Home Depot retail store in West Hills.'   
      
   It continued: 'The company needs to understand that there are consequences   
   for discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling.'   
      
   Gibson's legal team said he and the plaintiffs remain 'committed to doing   
   their part to advance civil rights and put an end to the despicable   
   practice of discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling at   
   the Home Depot, and, by extension, all retail stores.'   
      
   He said that the cashier refused to put through the transaction for his   
   workers and 'gave no reasonable explanation other than repeating store   
   policy and [demanding] to see a form of identification.'   
      
   Gibson said that the transaction was finally put through following an   
   argument with the cashier, and that the manager would not speak with him.   
      
   He said in court docs that 'there is no other plausible explanation for
