Reality TV star Melany "Mel" Viljoen and her husband, Peet Viljoen, who recently relocated to Miami, United States of America, have reportedly been ordered to pay US businesswoman Tammy Taylor R71 million.
The United States-based couple made headlines in May when a judge ordered them to pay over half a million rand to Taylor.
The Citizen reports that a United States court ruled in June that the Viljoens must pay the real Tammy Taylor R71 370 400 ($4 million) for statutory damages caused by their use of her trademark and breach of contract.
This comes after Taylor, who is the founder and owner of Tammy Taylor Nails in the US, revealed on her Instagram that she is suing the Viljoens and filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Southern District of California in April 2024.
