A judge ruled that Hunter Tylo gets to keep the $4.9 million judgment she was awarded for being fired from "Melrose Place" - and then some.
Television producer Aaron Spelling's companies also must pay Tylo's legal fees of nearly $1 million, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Fumiko Wasserman ruled Wednesday in upholding her $4.9 million judgment.Tylo, 34, won the award in a discrimination lawsuit after she was fired from the steamy prime-time soap opera for being pregnant.
Spelling Entertainment general counsel Sally Suchil said in a statement the company was disappointed but "confident that we will be vindicated" in appeals.
