Trey Songz just lost a huge lawsuit – to the tune of $11 million, Media Take Out has learned.
Trey was accused of misconduct while in Las Vegas for his 37th birthday back in Nov. 2021. The “Bottoms Up” artist allegedly brought a group of women back to his hotel room at The Cosmopolitan hotel, including a married woman – who left her husband behind.
The husband, Tyrelle Dunn, identified himself in an affidavit as a Maryland Capitol police officer who has specifically worked as a field training officer and was appointed to guard the governor of Maryland.
“Plaintiff’s wife was escorted by Defendant security personnel to room 6014 where she was told she would meet Trey Songz,” the lawsuit alleged. “That while in room 6014, plaintiff’s wife was assaulted, tried to leave and had her phone taken away.”
Dunn began searching for his wife and walked toward the room, according to the complaint. Dunn heard his wife screaming for help and reporting she was being held against her will, the complaint stated. That is when Dunn said that he was attacked.
“The attack has had a profound and everyday impact on my life. I still have the scarring, and suffer emotionally from the attack,” Dunn wrote. “I think about the attack every day when I see the injuries to my face and body.”
Dunn says the attack caused him serious injuries, including fractured eye sockets and scarring that caused him to miss work.
While Songz was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing in April 2022, Dunn later sued Trey Songz. Fortunately for Dunn, Trey Songz never responded to teh lawsuit, which eventually led to the default judgment being entered against him.
A Las Vegas judge awarded millions to the man to cover past medical expenses, past pain and suffering, and punitive damages. The total award is $11 million.
