“Rainey, who accused The Game of sexual assault, was granted the judgment in 2016.
While she was a contestant on the VH1 reality show She Got Game, Rainey said the veteran rapper sexually assaulted her during what she thought was a “required after hours date” while taping the show. She alleged The Game got intoxicated and forced “his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks.”
A motion for a new trial was thrown out last September and Rainey then threatened to come after The Game’s royalties earlier this year.”
