T.I. and Tiny’s $71 Million Award at Doll Trial Chopped Down to $18 Million
T.I. and Tiny won a whopping $71 million for infringement and misappropriation of their girl group OMG Girlz, but a judge slashed the amount Tuesday
and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris scored an eye-watering $71 million jury award with claims toy titan MGA Entertainment copied the name, neon hair, and unique outfits of their teen pop group OMG Girlz, a judge has slashed the payout by nearly three-quarters. “We are considering our options as to next steps – but if in the end there is another mini-trial on just the punitive damages, we expect another jury will be similarly offended by MGA’s maliciousness and copying,” the lawyer, John Keville with Sheppard Mullin, says.
