Megan Thee Stallion wins defamation suit against blogger

A Florida jury sided with Megan Thee Stallion, agreeing a blogger defamed and harassed the rapper after she was shot five years ago by R&B musician Tory Lanez.

MIAMI — A federal jury sided with Megan Thee Stallion on Monday and agreed that a blogger defamed and harassed the rapper — but limited damages to less than six figures.

The federal panel of five men and four women came down in favor of Megan, the artist born Megan Pete, in her lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper.

The suit was over material Cooper posted after R&B musician Tory Lanez shot Megan five years ago.

Jurors initially awarded Megan $75,000, which U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga indicated could change in her final written judgment.

“We’re thankful for the jury’s commitment to reinforcing the importance of truth, accountability and responsible commentary on social media,” Megan’s attorney Mari Henderson said in a statement. “Not only is Milagro being held accountable for paying Megan compensatory and punitive damages, but Florida’s fee-shifting legal provision will require her to cover costs of Megan’s legal bills on the deepfake claim. This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences.”
