T.I. & Tiny Harris Lawyer Denies ‘Baseless’ Sexual Assault Allegations & His Attempt To Silence Alleged Accusers
As we previously reported, Tyrone A. Blackburne, a New York attorney, is seeking a criminal investigation into T.I. and Tiny Harris after 11 women recounted their stories of alleged sexual assault (via rape, drugging, trafficking). The Harrises’ lawyer, Steve Sadow, has since denied the “baseless” claims, and denied ever attempting to “make a deal” to silence the alleged accusers.
During a virtual press conference on Monday (Mar. 1), Sadow said, “Clifford (T.I.) and Tameka (Tiny) Harris deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations. We are confident that if these claims are thoroughly and fairly investigated, no charges will be forthcoming. These allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media. The Harrises implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system.”

While Blackburne is also filing a defamation suit against the couple on behalf of Sabrina Peterson, who took to social media accusing T.I. of putting a gun to her head, plus sex trafficking, he responded to Sadow. He said, “They’re seeking justice… These women have never put forth a request for money. They’ve never asked for money. Steve Sadow, maybe he misspoke… I didn’t ask him for a dollar and from what I got from the conversations we had from the emails, they were very, very interested in killing this story and these claims. They didn’t want this to come out.” Sadow fired back, “That is patently false. I reached out to see if he would share any information since his name was posted on Instagram as the attorney for Sabrina Peterson. Blackburn [sic] repeatedly refused to provide the names of his accuser-clients or any corroborating or supporting evidence of his groundless claims. The Harrises repeat that they are confident if a thorough and fair investigation is conducted, no charges will be brought.”
