In court docs, Tyra ... who is battling with a Washington D.C. landlord over a scrapped plan to open an ice cream shop ... is now seeking more than $50,000 in sanctions from the landlord who tried to drag her to court.

Tyra said the landlord knows she lives in Australia and has no real ties to America or D.C., where the lawsuit was filed. She said her move to the land Down Under was well-publicized, and the landlord should have been aware.
