T.I. and Tiny’s former friend Sabrina Peterson was ordered to cough up a high 5-figure sum to the couple after they defeated most of the claims in her bombshell lawsuit.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a hearing was held this week on T.I. and Tiny’s motion seeking attorney fees from Sabrina.

Recently, T.I. and Tiny’s powerhouse lawyer Andrew Brettler, and his team convinced a higher court to reverse a decision made by the lower court that favored Sabrina.

The couple argued Sabrina should be on the hook for the $164k legal bill they racked up defending themselves in the case. The lawsuit is still alive but without most original claims.

Sabrina opposed the request for legal fees from T.I. and Tiny. She claimed the bill was excessive and there was a lack of evidence for certain hours billed.

At the recent hearing, the judge sided with T.I. and Tiny. He did not award the entire requested amount but awarded the couple $96,702.

“The Court finds that based on its experience with fee rates in the Los Angeles area and based on the representations set forth in the Brettler declaration, the fee rates requested by the Harris Defendants are reasonable,” the minute order read.

Sabrina was ordered to pay the amount within 90 days.
