The Game is asking Viacom, the parent company of VH1, to cover a $7.1 million judgment entered against him in a sexual assault lawsuit, according to a TMZ report published May 1, 2017.
The judgment was awarded in 2016 to Priscilla, who was cast on his VH1 dating show “She’s Got Game.” After she was removed from the show, she sued Game, alleging he sexually assaulted her at an off camera outing. The judgment came after Game did not appear in court for the case.
In his new lawsuit, Game claims a doctor working on the production raised concerns about Priscilla’s background and temperament before she was cast. He alleges Viacom ignored that information because it believed she would be good for ratings. He wants Viacom to pay the $7.1 million judgment plus $13 million in additional damages, for a total of about $20 million. These are Game’s claims, and they have not been tested in court.
TMZ reported that it reached out to Viacom and had not heard back when it published. Priscilla’s response to the new claims was not reported.
