You may have heard of some allegations that have been circulating on the Internet about Atlanta rapper TI (whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr.) and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris.
Sabrina Peterson, allegedly a former friend of the Harris family, shared a post on Instagram earlier this week when she accused the rapper of putting a gun to his head.
She followed this up using her Instagram story to share messages from more than 30 women, claiming that TI and his wife forced them to use drugs and sexually abused them, according to a Billboard report.
These are serious accusations that prompted the celebrity couple to issue a statement threatening a lawyer.
“Sir. And Mrs. Harris wish to be included and, most importantly, to let the public know that they emphatically deny in the most vehement way possible the blatantly terrifying accusations made against them by Sabrina Peterson,” said a spokesman for TI and Tiny at a statement for Complex. “The Harris had a hard time with this woman for more than a decade. They are taking this matter very seriously and, if these allegations are not over, they will take appropriate legal action.
G / O Media can receive a commission
The famous loquacious TI also posted an eight-minute video on his Instagram defending himself and his wife from Peterson’s allegations that they abused women (again describing the allegations as blatant).
“Women who have been victimized deserve to be heard,” said TI. “However, evil has no gender.”
After saying that he does not want to open his room for the public to comment on, TI said emphatically that everything he and his wife did was with consenting adults.
“We never force anyone, we never take anyone against anyone’s will, we never arrest anyone against our will, we never force anyone to do anything. we never traffic anything – well, we never traffic anything sexually, ”he said.
This aside is probably a reference to TI’s confused record with the law, which includes convictions for possession of drugs and weapons. While on probation in 2010 after serving a sentence in a federal prison, TI and his wife were arrested on drug charges.
“If a person does not have the right to prosecute you criminally or civilly, the best thing they can do is take you to defamation proceedings,” said Tip. “That is the reason, that is the intention.”
Tiny also joined the conversation to discredit Peterson, saying on Instagram that the woman considered TI her “uncle” two years ago. “Stop harassing my family. You are weird, ”Tiny added.
In turn, Peterson says that she subjected to a lie detector test to prove that your statements are true.
