*The Game must pay entertainment giant Viacom $32,000 to cover the company’s legal bills from the $20 million lawsuit the rapper lost earlier this year, reports The Blast.
Documents obtained from the site show the judge granted Viacom’s motion for attorney fees and ordered the rapper to pay a total of $32,528.80.
The company had originally sought a little north of $35,000 in coverage of its legal bill after The Game unsuccessfully sued Viacom for $20 million, demanding they be held liable for the $7.1 million judgment against him by a cast member on his VH1 show. Viacom got that lawsuit dismissed in June.
As previously reported, Priscilla Rainey accused The Game of sexual assault during the filming of his reality dating show. The Game argued Viacom should be liable for the bill because they cast Rainey despite knowing she had a criminal history. He claimed they knew of her multiple felony arrests for battery and that she suffered from mental health issues.
Viacom denied they should be held liable for the $7.1 judgment and on June 5, the judge came sided with the media company by dismissing The Game’s case.
