Kevin Gates’ publicist, Alvina Alston, is legally fighting the defamation case against her. Her lawyer, Tynia Coats, revealed that the woman who claimed to have been threatened by the publicist will defend herself in court. Coats pointed out that the woman, Shaila Hassanoff, had made false allegations against her client. She also illegally recorded her conversation with Kevin Gates and his publicist and harassed the latter with calls and texts. Additionally, an unidentified number threatened to ruin Alston’s career. Hassanoff will be defending herself against these charges in court.
Kevin Gates’ Publicist’s Attorney Blasts Woman Alleging To Be Gates’ Girlfriend
Kevin Gates’ publicist’s attorney has fired back at a woman who called out the rapper. The woman, Shaila Hassanoff, known on Instagram as Purrrian_P, claimed that the rapper’s team threatened her. Hassanoff claimed to be Gates’ girlfriend and called him out on social media for misleading her. However, Kevin Gates’ publicist’s attorney, Tynia Coats, has shut down the accusation. She said she was “speaking specifically on behalf of Alvina Alston” and called Shaila Hassanoff’s claims “false and defamatory.”
“Any comment made by Miss Alston during the call do not amount to a threat by any legal standard,” Coats asserted. She revealed that Hassanoff repeatedly tried to make Alston support her romance with Gates, which Alston had no interest in. “When they finally spoke, the conversation was brief, emotionally charged, and came after continued harassment,” Coats disclosed. “Miss Hassanoff then recorded the call without my client’s knowledge or consent, which is illegal and violated the state law where Miss Hassanoff was located.”
Anonymous User Threatened Kevin Gates’ Publicist
Meanwhile, Kevin Gates’ publicist’s attorney revealed that Alvina Alston faced increased harassment. An anonymous number threatened to ruin her career. Although Coats’ team couldn’t identify the user, they discovered they used a third-party app. Hence, they sent a legal preservation notice to the app, requesting user data. Coats also refuted Hassanoff’s claims that Kevin Gates’ publicist was happy about her relationship with the rapper.
Coats added that Alston never expressed delight about Hassanoff and Gates buying a house. She said Hassanoff’s claims were “fabricated, bizarre,” and intended to damage Alston’s reputation. The attorney revealed that her team will be taking legal action against Hassanoff. A cease and desist letter has also been issued.
Woman Claims To Be Kevin Gates’ Girlfriend
Tynia Coats’ warning comes amid Purrrian_P’s – now identified as Shaila Hassanoff – allegations that Kevin Gates misled her. Last week, she took to social media after Gates’ outing with influencer Brittany Renner on DDG’s livestream. Hassanoff also shared a recording of her confrontation with the rapper on the phone over his relationship with Renner. She asked him several times if he was back with the social media influencer, but Gates didn’t confirm or deny her claims.
Hassanoff alleged on her Instagram Stories on April 5 that Gates told her he was legally separated from his wife. The rapper married Dreka Haynes in 2015, and there have been rumors about their separations since 2022. Hassanoff said, “I want to make one thing very clear, I would never f**k with a married man. This man told me he’s legally separated, so that’s that…”
She added, “I’m sick of this man leading me on this whole time.” She claimed she “believed everything” the rapper told her at the beginning of their romance. However, she “started to peep all of his bullsh*t” later. The woman added, “I just believed everything that came out of that man’s man, and that’s my fault. I take accountability for that, and lesson learned.”
Shaila Hassanoff Disappointed At How Kevin Gates Treated Her
Hassanoff noted that she knew women always surround rappers. However, she expressed dismay at how Kevin Gates treated her. She said, “It’s just the way that he went about this situation that’s just real disrespectful.” She also alleged that his team was now threatening her. This included a woman “applauding” her and Gates last week for being together and discussing getting a home together. The woman is now identified as Kevin Gates’ publicist, Alvina Alton.
Kevin Gates’ publicist is handling the situation in the best way possible. Hopefully, the mess is cleared up soon so that it doesn’t affect her career and the truth can come out.
