VH1 has suspended production on the reality series T.I and Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle; after the show’s stars, rapper T.I and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, were accused of multiple counts of kidnapping, drugging, and sexual abuse.
Production on the fourth season of T.I and Tiny had started in December. A spokesperson for MTV Entertainment said, “We are aware of the allegations.
And while they have no connections 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.”
Back in January, Sabrina Peterson accused T.I. of putting a gun to her head in an Instagram post. She then used her account to share statements from over 30 women who claimed the Harrises had drugged, coerced or raped, and trafficked them.
The couple denied the accusations in a statement from a spokesperson shared with Complex, “Mr. and Mrs. Harris want to be on record and more importantly want the public to know they emphatically deny in the strongest way possible; the egregiously appalling allegations being made against them by Sabrina Peterson.”
“The Harrises have had difficulty with this woman for well over a decade. They are taking this matter very seriously, and if these allegations don’t end, they will take appropriate legal action.”
