Trey Songz was ordered to pay $11 million to a police officer who went to pick up his wife from Songz’s hotel room in 2021.
A Las Vegas judge ordered Songz to pay $11 million to Tyrell Dunn who suffered serious injuries during the fracas.
The incident happened in November 2021 when Songz invited a group of women to his hotel room to celebrate his birthday. Dunn later went to the Cosmopolitan Hotel to pick up his wife who was in the room with Songz.
Dunn claimed that his wife called him in distress and yelled for help because she was being held against her will.
When Dunn arrived at the hotel, Songz and his security beat up the Maryland cop after he refused to leave. Dunn sustained multiple injuries including fractured eye sockets, black eyes, and facial abrasions.
In April 2022, Songz was found not guilty of assaulting Dunn in the criminal case. So Dunn filed a civil lawsuit seeking punitive damages for his pain and suffering.
The judge found Songz in default because he refused to respond to the lawsuit. Songz now has 30 days to appeal the default judgment.
It isn’t clear if Dunn and his wife are still married.
