T.I. will not be returning for Marvel Studios’ upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that T.I. will not reprise his role in Ant-Man. This announcement comes after the embattled rapper and his wife were accused of sex assault by over 30 women.
The attorney representing 11 alleged victims, Tyrone A. Blackburn, is accusing the couple of sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, false imprisonment, intimidation, assault, and harassment and requested prosecutors in Georgia and California to launch investigations.
The accusers include an intern for Grand Hustle, a stripper, and even a military veteran.
Blackburn’s request goes on to describe a childhood friend of Tiny’s recalls being forced to take multiple ecstasy pills and forced to perform sexual acts on other women against her will.
The military vet says she left the club with the couple feeling like her drink had been spiked. The woman says she vomited on herself even though she only had two drinks. She recalls Tiny getting her into the tub and then being naked with T.I., who allegedly tried to “put his foot in her vagina.” All the military veteran can remember “was waking up naked on the couch, with a towel thrown over her, with a very sore vagina.”
T.I. and Tiny have denied all claims against them through a lawyer. “Clifford (T.I.) and Tameka Harris (Tiny) deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations. We are confident that if these claims are thoroughly and fairly investigated, no charges will be forthcoming.”
T.I. played Dave in both Ant-Man installments and was presumed to return for the third installment.
Ant-Man 3 is currently in development and doesn’t have a release date so it’s not too late to change the script.
What are your thoughts on T.I.’s departure from the movie?
