T.I. Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Ex-Friend, Sabrina Peterson, Over 3-Year-Old Allegations

by

After winning a $71 lawsuit against MGA Entertainment, T.I. appears to have prepared a new lawsuit against a former friend over abuse allegations. TMZ broke the news that the King of the South filed a defamation lawsuit against Sabrina Peterson. The court documents allege Peterson accused Tip of threatening her with a gun in 2021. The documents claim the Harris family severed ties with Peterson because of her negative influence. T.I., born Clifford Harris, claims this decision triggered a campaign of harassment and false allegations from Peterson, whom he accuses of spreading defamatory statements about him and his family on social media.

T.I. contends that her posts were intentionally malicious, aimed solely at damaging his reputation and causing distress to his loved ones. But Tip isn’t the only one going after Peteson — according to the claims, others are targeting her as well. Tip’s lawsuit is pursuing unspecified damages, citing the personal and professional harm caused by Peterson’s accusations. Peterson filed a defamation lawsuit against the rap star in the past.

T.I. Isn’t Letting Former Friend Off The Hook, Files Defamation Lawsuit

In 2021, Peterson sued T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, for defamation after they publicly denied her claims that T.I. had held a gun to her head. Peterson also implied that the couple had been involved in drugging and sexually abusing women, allegations T.I. and Tiny have consistently refuted. Their attorney at the time dismissed her accusations as part of “a sordid shakedown campaign.”

While he recently announced his upcoming retirement in October, Tip asserts that Peterson’s claims have caused irreparable damage to his personal and professional life. The rap star is set to release his last album in 2025. He reconnected with Young Thug in the studio after the rap star’s release from three-year detainment in Fulton County Jail last month. Peterson has not responded to news of the lawsuit at this time.

Peterson first came forward with her accusations against the couple in 2021, claiming that T.I. held a gun to her head and said, “Bitch, I’ll kill you” during a heated argument. She also cited numerous other women while accusing them of sexual and physical abuse. T.I. and Tiny vehemently denied the allegations, to which Peterson ended up filing a defamation lawsuit. T.I. and Tiny addressed Peterson’s defamation lawsuit on Monday, arguing that they meant “no malice” when they branded their assault accuser a liar.

At the time of the allegations, T.I. and Tiny released a joint statement explaining the situation. “Whatever we ever have done has been done with consensual adults who into what we into and like what we like,” T.I. said at the time. “We want something, we know exactly where to go to get it, we ain’t never forced nobody, we ain’t never drugged nobody against their will. We ain’t never held nobody against their will, we never made nobody do anything, we never trafficked anything. Well, sexually traffic, anything. I ain’t ever raped nobody.”

Back in 2021, a former friend of T.I. and Tiny’s, Sabrina Peterson, sued the couple for defamation. She had alleged that T.I. threatened her with a gun after she got into an argument with his assistant, telling her “b*tch I’ll kill you.” She went on to accuse the couple of assaulting “over 100 women,” who she claimed were ready to come forward. Peterson additionally tried to promote the hashtag “Surviving T.I.” on social media.

After she made those claims, Peterson alleged that the duo defamed her on the internet, after Tiny made a post about her son. “Hold up …. So you want your abuser to train your son … now when did you say my husband assaulted you? Did you change your mind or change it back? What’s up wit you today Pooh? I’m confused. Stop harassing my family. You strange. Everybody know you been special. Please Get help,” the post reads. She further accused the couple of trashing her reputation with additional social media posts.

T.I. later responded to the lawsuit by arguing that the posts shared on social media were only opinions. He further claimed that her reputation wasn’t the best to begin with. They demanded that the lawsuit be dropped, which was initially denied. Earlier this month, however, the court’s decision was reversed, and a majority of the causes of action were dropped.

Now, T.I. and Tiny are seeking $164,650 from Peterson to cover their legal fees. “The Harrises’ request for $164,650.56 in attorneys’ fees and costs is reasonable and in line with fee awards regularly affirmed in this district,” their lawyer claims. “Given the complexity of the legal issues, the time necessary to adjudicate Peterson’s seven causes of action over a two-year period, and the additional costs of appeal, the amount requested should be awarded in full.” The case is ongoing, with two out of seven causes of action remaining.
