Referee Rob Jones appeared to initially indicated that the Forest man had got the ball, drawing the shape of a football with his hands.
However, he later changed his mind, dishing out a second yellow card for the midfielder.
Gibbs-White was seen shouting in fourth official Anthony Taylor’s face, pointing his finger at him.
However, the Tricky Trees talisman’s complaints were to no avail.
The referee also sent off Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler and his Forest counterpart in the aftermaths.
The officials explained this was due to ‘unacceptable technical area behaviour following the incident’.
Nuno was spotted raging at the referee, and he had also been seen fuming at Taylor, too.
Hurzeler’s initial reaction to the incident was not shown, but cameras did catch his face when he was also given a red.
The German’s mouth dropped open in shock, with him shrugging his shoulders in disbelief.
Gibbs-White had initially picked up a booking on the hour mark after being deemed to pull down Georginio Rutter.
