T.I. and Tiny Awarded $0 in Punitive Damages at OMG Girlz Trial, Jury Rules
A jury has denied punitive damages to T.I. and Tiny in their legal dispute against MGA Entertainment over the OMG Girlz doll line.
The brief
A jury ruled that T.I. and Tiny will receive $0 in punitive damages in their ongoing lawsuit against MGA Entertainment. The legal action centered on allegations regarding the misappropriation of likenesses in the company's L.O.L. While the plaintiffs sought $125 million in punitive damages, this specific request was rejected by the jury.
Coverage from Law360, Bloomberg Law News, Akerman LLP, Billboard, and Rolling Stone emphasizes that the final award for the plaintiffs is capped at $18 million. Outlets note that despite this cap, the jury’s decision regarding punitive damages effectively halts the higher financial demand sought by the entertainers. Future updates will depend on any potential appeals or finalization of the judgment.
Coverage does not yet specify if either party plans further legal action regarding the $18 million cap or the punitive damages ruling.
