Rapper T.I. And his wife Tiny Harris are facing a new civil lawsuit that claims they allegedly drugged and allegedly sexually assaulted a woman they met in Los Angeles nightclub in 2005.
The complaint was filed on January 2 in a Los Angeles court. Lawyers of the woman, who remains anonymous, says T.I. (Clifford Harris) and Tiny (Tameka Harris) allegedly gave her an allegedly spiked drink after she had met them in a VIP section of a club. It goes on to claim that they then allegedly brought her back to her hotel room where they allegedly “forced her to get naked” and allegedly assaulted her.
Billboard attained documents from the lawsuit, where it states the “plaintiff did not consent to any of the sexual assault or misconduct and did not have the capacity to consent after being drugged by defendants.”
Both the rapper and Xscape member issued a statement to Billboard denying the allegations. They “empathetically and categorically” denied the allegations and would retaliate against the lawsuit the plaintiff had reportedly threatened to file for years. “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.” A court date has not been set yet.
This is the latest sexual assault lawsuit against men in the music industry, with the most recent being Sean “Diddy” Combs and the multiple assault allegations from different women, including his former girlfriend Cassie.
