T.I.‘s daughter is opening up about her father’s comments about taking her to the gynecologist every year to ensure her hymen is still intact.
During Monday night’s (June 15) episode of T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle, Deyjah Harris talked about the immediate fall-out of her father’s comments while they are on a family vacation.
“Things are completely uncomfortable for me right now,” Deyjah, 18, said in a confessional. “We’re all together in this house, so I have to see my Dad and be around him. And we’re in a foreign country so it’s not like I can leave and get away.”
“I’m scrolling on Twitter, and I see that I’ve been tagged in a post,” Deyjah added. “The only word that I saw was ‘gynecologist’ and I didn’t even need to read the whole title ’cause I just knew. My heart sank — very shocked, hurt, angry, embarrassed.”
Deyjah then talked to her cousins about the situation, saying, “I mean, honestly, I’m embarrassed definitely for sure. I’m trying to put it in the back of my mind so I’m not really thinking about it. I know it’s not healthy. But I’ve been doing that since I was a child.”
She then added that T.I. had been going with her to gynecologist appointments “since I was 14 or 15.” Deyjah said that she “couldn’t have said no” to his coming with her.
“I need more time to figure out what I want to say, but things are completely awkward and uncomfortable between me and my Dad,” Deyjah added, while getting emotional. “Prior to all of this happening, our relationship was pretty decent, but after all of this, it’s changed, honestly.”
Back in November, T.I. addressed his comments, saying that he was “joking.”
