R&B artist Trey Songz has been ordered by the court to pay more than $11 million in damages for battery a Maryland Capitol police officer.


Tyrelle Dunn, the officer who filed the lawsuit, alleged he was injured while trying to rescue his wife from Songz's hotel room at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas during the singer's 37th birthday celebration.


The lawsuit claimed that Songz invited a group of women to his room, where Dunn’s wife allegedly screamed for help, saying she was being held against her will. When Dunn intervened, he says he was attacked by Songz and his security team, leaving him with serious injuries, including fractured eye sockets and permanent scarring that caused him to miss work.

I can't believe my celebrity crush did that. It seems even the gentlest of American celebrities have a drop of violence in them.

These celebrities tend to forget that they are public figures, so they need to be extremely careful in everything that they do.

it is always bad that they are always engaged in one assault or the other. it Is not the best thing to do as they are celebrities

What a waste of money. It's so huge in billions. I think he can negotiate it with a lawyer but if it's okay for him, he better pays to pay the crime he committed. What a waste of money.

Honestly, the punishment is far higher than the crime. $11 million for battery without life threatening damages, the judge is heartless. Some of these celebrities sometimes behaves like they don't have common sense. Let him pay it, he deserve it.

Yes some judgement can be very harsh and doesn't complement the punishment meted out

We all have that moment of madness though. Apart from the money now, Trey should know how damaging this would be to his brand.
