TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

  • Maybe if you can't take a joke, you should stay away from the comedy clubs. 
  • While nobody likes people speaking negatively on their reputation or character, I don't know if this is the best way to try and address those sorts of allegations. 
  • I don't care who you are -- when you cross a line, don't be surprised if you get checked. Just ask Chris Rock
  • Then again, how's that working out for Will Smith?

T.I.: Confronts Comedian On Stage Over Sexual Assault Allegations

It’s dangerous to be a comedian these days. The latest incident was when a stand-up performer at an Atlanta comedy club brought up T.I. and the sexual assault allegations against him.

Lauren Knight was hosting an open mic night event at Our Bar ATL when she brought up the allegations against Tip and his wife -- who were in attendance. That was enough to get T.I. to walk up to the stage, where he strongly addressed the allegations. He ranted into the mic, “There was no [effing] crime. There is nothing to charge me for, or my wife… Shut the [eff] up for a second!… I’m gonna check your…ass as long as it takes… When you stop talking about it, when you stop playing with me and mine, Ima stop saying something."

Things continued to escalate, with the comic later making a callback to the jokes, which set T.I. off again. At one point, he actually got on stage and snatched the microphone away before walking away.

After the show, Knight took to Instagram and explained that T.I. was continuously heckling and provoking her, which is why she decided to take aim at him and the allegations against him. Since then, he went on Instagram Live offering a million dollars if she could provide a video proving that he called her a bitch. She managed to do just that. No word on the million yet, but he has posted Knight to his Instagram page, as an attempt to highlight up-and-coming comics.
