Production on T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle has been paused while the network looks into allegations made against the couple. According to Deadline, filming will stop until MTV Entertainment can gather more information.
The pause follows public accusations from a woman named Sabrina, a former friend of the couple, who alleged on social media that T.I. and Tameka “Tiny” Harris engaged in sexual misconduct and threatened her with a gun. T.I. and Tiny have strongly denied the claims, and none of the allegations have been proven in court.
“We are aware of the allegations, and while they are not connected to our show, we have reached out to T.I. and Tameka Harris, as well as local and state officials,” an MTV Entertainment spokesperson told Deadline. “Given the serious nature of the allegations, we have decided to suspend production in order to gather more information.” Deadline reports the decision was a mutual one between the network and the couple.
T.I. responded on Instagram, writing, “We vehemently deny ALL these disgusting, anonymous allegations.” In a video, he said that anything done in his private life involved consenting adults, adding that he and Tiny have never forced or drugged anyone or held anyone against their will.
A representative for the Harris family also gave a statement to Complex saying the couple “emphatically deny” the allegations. The statement said the Harrises have had difficulty with the accuser for over a decade, are taking the matter seriously, and may take legal action if the claims continue.
