A woman sued rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka Tiny Harris, for damages on Monday, accusing the couple of defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
She had previously alleged that T.I. threatened her at gunpoint after she got into an altercation with his assistant, and had also accused him of drugging and raping women throughout the years.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., denied the allegations in late January in a joint statement with Tiny, claiming they have had difficulty with the woman, Sabrina Peterson, for well over a decade.
