T.I.┬аand wife┬аTameka тАЬTinyтАЭ Harris┬аare under police investigation in Los Angeles following claims of sexual assault and drugging. The LAPD confirmed to ET that there is an active investigation but declined to provide more information at this time.┬аET has reached out to T.I. and TinyтАЩs reps for comment.
In March, Attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn тАФ who is representing multiple women levelling serious accusations against the artist and his wife тАФ announced at a press conference that he was seeking criminal charges against the couple.
Blackburn said he is representing 11 accusers тАФ including 10 women and one man тАФ who claim to be victims of numerous crimes тАФ including kidnapping, drugging and sexual assault тАФ allegedly committed by the тАЬT.I. & Tiny: The Family HustleтАЭ┬аstars.
The coupleтАЩs attorney, Steve Sadow, released a statement to ET in March denying the allegations in their entirety.
тАЬClifford (T.I.) and Tameka Harris deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations,тАЭ Sadow stated. тАЬWe are confident that if these claims are thoroughly and fairly investigated, no charges will be forthcoming.тАЭ
тАЬThese allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media,тАЭ the statement continued. тАЬThe Harrises implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system.тАЭ
Blackburn┬аclaimed┬аthat his firm had┬аbeen contacted┬атАЬby over thirty womenтАЭ in the past two weeks with additional allegations claiming that the couple, тАЬaided by several individuals in their employ, have kidnapped them, drugged them, raped them, and terrorized them with threats of death or physical bodily harm.тАЭ
In his letter to the California State Attorney General Xavier Bacerra, Blackburn said the alleged incidents occurred in Los Angeles, as well as Georgia and Florida, and span between 2005 and 2018.
The attorney claimed that all eleven clients тАЬrecount eerily similar events of sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, terroristic threats, and false imprisonment.тАЭ
Production on the fourth season of the coupleтАЩs reality show, тАЬT.I. & Tiny: The Family HustleтАЭ, was put on hold in early February when allegations against the pair began to surface on social media.
Additionally, T.I. will reportedly not be returning for the third installment in MarvelтАЩs тАЬAnt-ManтАЭ franchise, тАЬAnt-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaтАЭ, according to The Hollywood Reporter. ItтАЩs unknown at this point whether or not his absence from the cast is related to the recent allegations.
