T.I. and Tiny have released a statement responding to more allegations as three new unnamed women have come forward with abuse claims.
In a statement to Billboard, the couple’s attorney, Steve Sadow said: “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.”
Although the accusers have decided to remain anonymous, Page Six reports that the women have retained attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, the same attorney who has been representing 11 of the women leveling accusations against the couple.
Jarring allegations from the new accusers include an encounter in a Miami nightclub in 2010 when the accuser was 20 years old.
The woman alleged the couple “pulled out a pill and forced her to swallow it” which drugged her. She also claimed she was taken to a South Beach hotel, where the couple’s security purportedly took her phone and T.I. “forced her to take a powdered substance from his finger” and “[Tiny] undressed her and proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse. She said her body was numb, the room was slowing down, and she could not consent.”
Another woman, also 20 at the time, claims she was drugged and raped by T.I. and one of his male friends, again in Miami, in May of 2010.
The third accuser says she was sex trafficked in Nevada, California, and Florida by the couple.
The Harris’ have dismissed all abuse claims against them, which first surfaced in January.
