It is not just the well-known people who are involved that made this case notorious but also it has its effect on artists in different fields. T.I., Zonnique’s stepfather, was content with the result, he expressed, “Justice was done. This is partly due to the unflinching unyielding determination of my wife, girl and their cousins. We stood up for what was right.
MGA Entertainment’s Response
MGA Entertainment which is well-known for its popular Bratz and L.O.L. Surprise! doll collections, refused every accusation during the trial. The company insisted that L.O.L. Surprise! OMG dolls were not inspired by the OMG Girlz. As a matter of fact, MGA even got an injunction in 2020 by the court to avoid being forced to a trial after they got cease-and-desist from the band
Although MGA has been trying to throw out the lawsuit as “baseless”, the court, however, discovered the similar patterns between the band and the dolls in which it was in favor of the OMG Girlz. The jury ruled that MGA’s dolls had indeed misappropriated the band’s name, likeness, and image in violation of intellectual property laws.
