On Monday, Sabrina Peterson sued the couple along with their good friend and hairstylist Shekinah Jones for defamation, according to The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ. As we previously reported, Peterson alleged that T.I. pulled a gun on her and threatened to kill her after she got into an altercation with his assistant. She posted about it on social media back in January and she alleges she was defamed by their responses to it! Tiny did respond to her claims in an Instagram post which included a photo of Peterson’s 8-year-old son to her millions of followers, and also asked Peterson that she should stop harassing her family and get help. Peterson says this exposed her son to “vitriol and danger.”
While defending Tiny, Shekinah posted an Instagram video that said that they were all good friends at one point and that Peterson had also been sexually involved with both T.I. and Tiny. The couple later issued a joint statement denying many claims including the serious sexual abuse ones that were also made by Peterson. As a result of all the drama, Peterson is suing the couple and Shekinah for defamation and infliction of emotional distress, the news site reports.
T.I. and Tiny’s attorney, Steve Sadow, has released a statement on this lawsuit. He said they “deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations.” Sadow adds “These allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media.” He says the couple “implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system,” TMZ notes.
