T.I. and Tiny are off the hook for criminal charges related to a woman who accused the married couple of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2005 in Los Angeles, TMZ is reporting. The outlet says that prosecutors declined to move forward with the case.

The statute of limitations was cited as the reason to let the case go, according to legal documents cited by TMZ. Previously, the site reported that the couple’s anonymous accuser filed a police report earlier this year, alleging T.I. and Tiny drugged and assaulted her circa early 2005, claiming to have met them at a club.

In their decision, the prosecutors say the 10-year statute of limitations has expired, making it a cold case.

It’s a similar outcome to other allegations against T.I. and Tiny faced in Las Vegas. We previously reported that those charges were dropped for the same reason. The Vegas woman claimed she was drugged and sexually assaulted in 2010 after meeting Tiny at the airport and being invited to hang with the couple.

There were ultimately no charges filed.

In related news, T.I. still will have to face his “defamation” case vs. Sabrina Peterson in court. A Fulton County judge gave Sabrina the go-ahead after T.I. tried to stop the lawsuit. She claims he and his wife Tiny defamed her publicly earlier this year.

T.I. and Tiny don’t seem too troubled about their legal woes, the couple recently celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary in Amsterdam.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
