As the T.I. and Tiny allegations of sexual assault continue to play out in the court of public opinion, an unidentified woman amongst the accusers is detailing her alleged interaction with the couple. A woman known as Jane Doe 4 is claiming that she was drugged and forced by the couple to sleep with different women and the rapper Nelly in 2014. The woman’s story is recounted in a visual Instagram video that was posted in February. The video consists of images and a narrator detailing the allegations made by several women being represented by attorney Tyrone Blackburn.
Visual Instagram Video Promotes False Statement
The caption for the videos’ posted by NotYourModelVictim, reads, “The following allegations are a part of a criminal referral sent to the following agencies.” The post lists some California Attorney General agencies and then ends with “At the time of this video’s publishing, Clifford [T.I.] Harris and Tameka [Tiny] Harris have not confirmed or denied the allegations”. This statement was false. The video was posted to Instagram on February 28, 2021 and begins with a voice over from an Instagram video that T.I. posted in January, denying the allegations. The NotYourModelVictim Instagram page has 8 posts with the most recent post dating back to March. The website linked from the age has no additional information. It appears the creator of this Instagram page and website are also anonymous.
Through their attorney, Steve Sadow, T.I. and Tiny have denied all allegations of coercing, kidnapping, trafficking and drugging women. Sadow stated on their behalf: “The Harrises are still waiting for the accusers to reveal themselves publicly. By continuing to hide behind anonymous allegations, the unnamed accusers effectively render themselves not credible and unworthy of belief. We say: let the light shine on their identities so we can go about disproving these scurrilous accusations.”
Is T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle cancelled?
In light of the allegations, T.I. & Tiny’s show Family Hustle has been suspended until further notice. A spokesperson for MTV Entertainment stated the following: “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.” Deadline reported that the decision was mutual between the couple and MTV.
