OMG Girlz Win $71 Million in Lawsuit Against MGA Entertainment
A jury found that MGA's L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. dolls infringed on the intellectual property of the music group OMG Girlz.
- The jury awarded $17.9 million in real damages and $53.6 million in punitive damages.
- The lawsuit claimed MGA's dolls copied the likeness and style of OMG Girlz members at specific public events.
- This was the third trial in a years-long legal battle, with previous trials ending in a mistrial and a verdict for MGA that was later overturned.
- The OMG Girlz, formed in 2009 by Tameka 'Tiny' Harris, included her daughter Zonnique Pullins, Bahja Rodriguez, and Breaunna Womack.
- MGA Entertainment, which denied the allegations, plans to appeal the verdict.
