Megan Thee Stallion Secures $59,000 Damages in Defamation Lawsuit Against Blogger Milagro Gramz
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has emerged victorious in her defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Cooper, also known as Milagro Gramz. A Florida jury recently ruled in her favor, awarding the damages of $75,000 which was subsequently reduced to $59,000 by a U.S. District Court Judge.
The controversy began when Megan initially sued Cooper in October 2024, alleging that she had been conspired with Tory Lanez to defame her after he shot her in July 2020. Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison on three felony charges, while Megan accused Cooper of being a "paid surrogate" and "mouthpiece" for the singer.
According to testimony, Megan claimed that Cooper promoted a sexually explicit deepfake of herself on social media by encouraging her followers to view it. The rapper stated that she felt "defeated" by the experience, which she said had harmed her mental health, saying, "It's really embarrassing to have to look at what the people don't know."
The incident was part of a broader pattern of alleged harassment and abuse by Lanez towards Megan, who was granted a five-year restraining order against him earlier this year. During a video call testimony, she expressed fear for her safety, stating that "maybe he'll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won't make it."
The verdict is seen as a significant victory for Megan Thee Stallion in her fight against Cooper's defamatory statements, which have caused her considerable emotional distress.
