Workplace harassment allegations have surfaced between radio personalities TT Torrez and Funkmaster Flex, with Torrez accusing Flex of physically assaulting her at Madison Square Garden. The incident allegedly followed years of tension from their time together at HOT 97.
Through her representative Roseay, Torrez claimed that Flex became physical after an argument with her husband on Tuesday, Oct. 20, inside the arena’s Delta Lounge. She’s been vocal about her experience, stating firmly: “There is no justification for a man to put his hands on a woman, under any circumstances.” Workplace harassment in the media industry has long been a conversation worth having—and this situation brings it front and center.
The conflict happened shortly before the New York Knicks faced the Philadelphia 76ers in their season opener. Video of the encounter quickly spread across social media, but Torrez says the footage doesn’t capture the full context. “What the public saw was a husband defending his wife,” her statement clarified.
Beyond this incident, Torrez addressed her professional history with Flex at HOT 97, where she alleges she endured repeated bullying over time. She previously settled with the station, including a non-disparagement agreement. According to Torrez, Flex has continued violating that agreement. Her representative told TMZ that Torrez filed a police report online.
Flex rejected the allegations on Instagram, writing: “HAHAHAHAH! ASSAULTED WHEN? IM MINDING MY [BUSINESS]?” In another post, he accused the couple of trying to provoke him into a payout.
