Megan Thee Stallion Wins Defamation Case Against Blogger

A federal jury recently found blogger Milagro Gramz guilty of defamation, awarding rapper Megan Thee Stallion damages for harm caused by false claims and an explicit AI-generated video. The verdict affirmed that Gramz knowingly amplified narratives and a deepfake clip portraying the artist negatively, compounding trauma she experienced previously. Gramz, whose legal name is Milagro Cooper, was found to have willfully encouraged her followers to engage with false information and a manipulated video. This sustained campaign, which Megan Thee Stallion described as cyberstalking and emotional abuse, targeted her reputation and mental well-being following a prior incident. While the final awarded damages were reduced, the outcome was seen as a significant acknowledgment of the online harassment endured. The case also brought broader discussions about online free speech and new legal protections against nonconsensual AI-generated content.
