Singer ordered to pay $11 million to police officer who was injured

Trey Songz has been ordered to pay as much as $11 million in a civil case stemming from a 2021 incident involving Maryland police officer Tyrelle Dunn.

According to court documents obtained by our friends at TMZ, the verdict comes after allegations that Songz physically assaulted Dunn and caused significant injuries.

The wild altercation took place during Songz’s 37th birthday celebration at a Las Vegas hotel, where the singer reportedly invited a group of women to his room. Among them was Dunn’s wife, who was reportedly unable to leave and began screaming for help. Dunn tried to intervene but was attacked by Songz and his security team.

Sheesh.

The crazy incident left Dunn with serious injuries, including broken eye sockets and facial scarring, which left him unable to work. Despite being acquitted of criminal charges related to the altercation, Songz faced ongoing civil lawsuits, with Dunn seeking compensation for his medical expenses, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

After Songz reportedly failed to respond to the lawsuit, the court ruled in Dunn’s favor and awarded him $11 million. The verdict is the latest legal problem for the 39-year-old singer, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson.

Doesn’t respond and has to pay $11 million. Wow.

Additionally, earlier this year, Songz settled a $25 million lawsuit related to an alleged sexual assault at a party in 2016. That case included allegations of rape, gender violence, false imprisonment and emotional distress.

Sounds terrible.

At the time, Songz’s legal team released a statement via Radar Online, saying, “The settlement agreement provides for the dismissal of this case upon satisfactory completion of certain conditions… A motion to dismiss will be filed no later than June 10, 2024.”

Wonder how that worked. The dismissal request, after the settlement.
