T.I. and his wife Tiny Harris have found themselves in legal trouble once again as they are hit with another lawsuit alleging sexual assault. New details have emerged surrounding the case, with the couple being accused of drugging a woman they met in a nightclub and engaging in non-consensual activities.
The plaintiff referred to as Jane Doe, claims that she was drugged by T.I. and Tiny after meeting them at a nightclub. The incident allegedly took place in or around 2005 when she was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in L.A.
According to the lawsuit, the hip-hop couple was not present at the party where the initial encounter occurred, but a person named “Caviar,” who claimed to work for the couple, assured her they would meet in an L.A. nightclub the following night.
Jane Doe alleges that Tiny handed her a drink at the nightclub, which she consumed, and Tiny did not. Soon after, the woman further claims that T.I. invited her along with Tiny to their hotel, where they engaged in sexual activities. However, she states that during the encounter, T.I. penetrated her vagina with his toe without her consent, leading her to say “no” and try to push him away.
The plaintiff also alleges that she vomited in the bathroom, prompting T.I. to mock her saying “Are you alright? Looks like you are in last place.”
As a result of these disturbing allegations, Jane Doe is suing the couple for sexual battery, assault, negligence, and false imprisonment. She cites the California Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act as the basis for filing the suit at this time, as it provides a year-long window to revive claims that the statute of limitations would otherwise bar.
In response to these allegations, the legal representatives for both T.I. and Tiny informed TMZ:
“Not only are the claims bogus, but they missed the deadline to file the lawsuit.”
Following the claims, the hip-hop couple has vehemently denied the allegations and expressed:
“On the heels of positivity, negativity always rears its ugly head. This plaintiff has been threatening to file this lawsuit for THREE years. For THREE years, we have emphatically and categorically denied these allegations. For THREE years we have maintained our innocence and refused to pay these extortionate demands for things we didn’t do. For THREE years, we’ve maintained the same position while the claims in this story have changed time and time again. Our position is clear… We are innocent of these fake claims, we will not be shaken down, and we look forward to our day in court.”
This recent lawsuit is not the first legal battle T.I. and Tiny have faced. They previously filed a lawsuit against the toy company MGA, alleging that the company had stolen the image of the tween music group they managed, OMG GIRLZ, for their LOL Surprise dolls.
Unfortunately, they lost the case. Additionally, the couple dealt with a defamation lawsuit filed by Sabrina Peterson, a former friend, who accused them of sexual and physical abuse. However, they emerged victorious in that legal battle.
The music industry is grappling with a whirlwind of lawsuits, implicating numerous influential figures. One such figure is Bad Boy music mogul Diddy, who recently settled a high-profile case with his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, before finding himself embroiled in his fourth lawsuit concerning allegations of sexual and physical abuse with a 17-year-old girl.
