T.I. and Tiny Head to Fourth Trial Against MGA Entertainment Over Slashed $71 Million Doll Award
T.I. (Clifford Harris Jr.) and his wife Tiny (Tameka Harris) are heading back to court for a fourth trial against dollmaker MGA Entertainment, set to begin June 23. The trial will focus solely on punitive damages after a judge slashed their original $71 million jury award to $17.6 million. The couple originally sued MGA in 2019, claiming the OMG Girlz doll line copied their daughter's girl group's likeness. A jury initially awarded them $71 million, but the judge reduced the punitive damages from $53.6 million to $900,000, citing constitutional limits. The Harrises are now seeking to restore some of those punitive damages.
