This isn’t the first time Tyler has been accused of stealing ideas.
Damn Tyler is always getting sued.
Because he’s always stealing lol
Now why did this make me laugh out loud?
I’m starting to think Tyler may be stealing because someone is always accusing him of it. LOL.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire. This is like the 3rd or 4th time he has been accused of doing this.
Exactly.
Again?! Goodness.
Lawd Tyler get it together.
Another day, another lawsuit for TP.
Tyler has always been a thief. But he’ll most likely just settle this out of court.
