The 2025 Legal Battleground: Major Victories and a $17.9M Decision
The year 2025 has been pivotal for the Harrises on the legal front, featuring the culmination of several high-profile lawsuits that threatened to overshadow their careers. Their strategy of legal defense and offense has resulted in several significant outcomes.Defamation Lawsuit Dismissed
In a major victory for the couple, a judge dismissed the long-standing defamation lawsuit filed against them by Sabrina Peterson. Peterson, a former friend, had alleged that T.I. and Tiny had defamed her after she accused T.I. of assault. The judge's ruling, which came in March 2025, marked a significant setback for Peterson's efforts to revive the case and a clear win for the Harris defense team.Sexual Assault Allegations Lawsuit Dropped
The Harrises also secured the dismissal of a civil lawsuit filed under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act. The lawsuit, which involved allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, was dismissed by a judge, providing a major legal reprieve for the couple. This dismissal effectively closed the book on a series of serious allegations that had previously led to the temporary halt of their reality television projects.The OMG Girlz Copyright Saga: A $71 Million Award Slashed
The most complex legal battle involved a copyright infringement case related to the OMG Girlz, a group co-created by Tiny. The Harrises had sued the toy manufacturer MGA Entertainment, claiming the company's O.M.G. Dolls infringed on the likeness and branding of the girl group. Initially, a jury awarded T.I. and Tiny a staggering $71 million in damages. However, a subsequent ruling in 2025 saw a judge slash the award dramatically, reducing the amount to $17.9 million. The couple was given a choice: accept the reduced monetary award or request a new jury trial to argue for a higher figure. This ongoing saga highlights the lucrative, yet legally volatile, nature of intellectual property in the entertainment industry.Relationship Milestones and the Future of Reality TV
