Megan Thee Stallion has won a civil defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper) in Miami federal court. The jury awarded her $75,000, later reduced to $59,000, for defamation, harassment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The case stemmed from Gramz’s social media posts after Megan was shot in 2020 by Tory Lanez, who was convicted of assault with a firearm and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. Megan accused Gramz of acting as a paid surrogate for Lanez and spreading falsehoods, including promoting a sexually explicit deepfake video of Megan and falsely claiming her firearm was missing. Megan testified that Gramz’s actions, including liking and encouraging the spread of the deepfake, severely impacted her mental health, leading to depression and suicidal thoughts. The jury found Gramz liable for defamation and emotional distress, and liable for promoting the deepfake video, with damages awarded accordingly. Megan emphasized that the harassment and false information caused her significant emotional pain, and she continues to deal with mental health issues related to the case. Gramz’s attorney expressed respect for the jury’s decision, noting the case raises concerns about free speech online. Megan’s legal team is seeking coverage of her legal fees, which may exceed $1 million. The case highlights ongoing issues of online harassment, the spread of false information, and the impact on public figures.
