T.I. AND his wife Tiny have been accused of sexual abuse.
The 40-year-old rapper and his 45-year-old wife are under fire after the stars’ former friend, Sabrina Peterson, accused the couple of sexual misconduct.
What are the allegations against T.I. and Tiny?
Sabrina has accused the pair of sexual misconduct and claimed T.I. threatened her with a gun in 2009 following a nasty fight.
After making allegations against T.I and Tameka “Tiny” Harris, Sabrina claimed more than 100 women contacted her with their own sexual misconduct accusations toward the couple.
Additionally, cops in Los Angeles have launched an investigation into the pair, The Daily Beast reported on May 17, 2021.
A woman, identified as Jane Doe, met with detectives virtually and alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted in 2005, the Daily Beast reported.
Sabrina shared a few claims on her account, as some of the alleged victims said they’d been drugged, forced into sex, and/or trafficked by the Harrises.
The Sun revealed in February 2021 that a group of women with claims against the couple planned to travel to New York to meet an attorney building a class action against the stars.
Sabrina told The Sun she was “overwhelmed” with the response she has had since coming forward with the allegations.
She added that she plans to open up more about her experience, sharing: “I got a call today from a documentary team so we’re going to go ahead and let the girls tell their story like in the R. Kelly show, to get them some therapy, too, so they can process their pain.
“At the end of this, it might be into the hundreds of girls that come out, ultimately. It’s bad.”
Back in January 2021, a spokesperson for T.I. and Tiny profusely denied the claims.
The rep told Complex: “Mr and Mr. Harris want to be on record and more importantly want the public to know they emphatically deny in the strongest way possible the egregiously appalling allegations being made against them by Sabrina Peterson.
“The Harrises have had difficulty with this woman for well over a decade. They are taking this matter very seriously.”
Who are T.I. and Tiny?
T.I. is a rapper who also is known for his work as an actor, and even appeared in the Ant Man films.
Meanwhile, Tiny is a singer and songwriter who co-wrote the hit TLC song No Scrubs in the 1990s.
Following the Sabrina allegations, production on the couple’s reality show- T.I. and Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle- has been halted.
Filming for the fourth season of the VH1 reality series began in December 2020.
According to Rolling Stone, an MTV Entertainment spokesperson said: “We are aware of the allegations, and while they are not connected to our show, we have reached out to T.I. and Tameka Harris, as well as local and state officials.
“Given the serious nature of the allegations, we have decided to suspend production in order to gather more information.”
After meeting in 2001, the couple dated for nine years before tying the knot.
They wed in June 2010.
The couple had four children together, although their second child, a daughter, was stillborn in 2007
