T.I. and Tiny Harris have achieved a major legal victory, coming out on top in their lawsuit against MGA Entertainment. The court upheld the full $71 million award after almost reducing it significantly.
The couple had accused MGA of creating dolls that closely resembled the members of their girl group, the OMG Girlz. MGA initially faced $53.6 million in punitive damages, aimed to penalize the company for its actions.
Judge James Selna initially considered cutting the damages after finding insufficient evidence of wrongdoing by MGA. However, upon further review, he upheld the full amount in favor of the Harrises.
Following the outcome, Tiny Harris took to Instagram to express her relief and gratitude. She emphasized her thanks for their legal team’s hard work and the support they received from friends and fans alike.
T.I. sharply criticized MGA for its dismissive attitude throughout the legal battle, asserting that the company had wronged the family by using their group’s likeness without permission.
It took T.I. and Tiny three attempts to successfully litigate against MGA. The court recognized that MGA’s dolls were indeed modeled after the OMG Girlz, acknowledging the couple’s claims of copyright infringement.
Despite MGA’s vigorous defense and derogatory claims against the couple, the court’s final decision favored T.I. and Tiny, granting them a significant moral and financial victory.
This resounding win reinstates justice for T.I., Tiny, and the OMG Girlz.
