Follow on Google News | Sabrina Peterson Prevails, T.I. and Tiny Suffers Second Major Legal Defeat Shekinah lost as well!By: T. A. Blackburn Law, PLLC. In a 30-page opinion, the Court of Appeals held the following, "After Peterson initiated this action, [Shekinah] Anderson admitted she had been "enlisted" by the Harrises and directed by Tameka to make the accusations against Peterson on Instagram." The Court of Appeals went on to say, "The Harrises' hostility toward Peterson is so clear as to leave no substantial doubt. Their statements were responsive to Peterson's public revelation of controversial issues involving the Harrises. From the parties' dispute, a reasonable factfinder could infer the Harrises were "motivated by hostility and lacked regard for the truth of their publications." Finally, the Court of Appeals held, "In addition, Peterson averred the Harrises fabricated the salacious sexual accusations and engaged in a campaign of harassment aimed at discrediting her. The Harrises offered no evidence to contradict this evidence. Thus, Peterson has met her burden of establishing minimal merit for defamation under both of her claims." Shekinah withdrew her appeal, and all of Sabrina Peterson's claims against her will move forward. The case now returns to the trial court for further proceedings. TABlackburnlaw.com End
