29 May
Summary
- Judge reinstated $16,000 defamation award against blogger Milagro Gramz.
- Blogger acted on behalf of Tory Lanez, attacking Megan's credibility.
- Gramz owes $75,000, including previous emotional distress and video damages.
A federal judge has reinstated Megan Thee Stallion's $16,000 defamation win against blogger Milagro Gramz. Initially, the award was set aside on procedural grounds, but upon review, Chief U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga reversed this decision.
The court found that Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, was commissioned by Tory Lanez and his father to make defamatory statements. These statements questioned Megan's credibility regarding the 2020 shooting incident.
Cooper is now liable for the full $75,000 judgment. This amount includes previous awards for intentional infliction of emotional distress and promoting a deepfake video.
Megan Thee Stallion expressed gratitude for the ruling, emphasizing that truth prevails and lies have consequences.
Gramz's actions included suggesting Megan was lying about the shooting and promoting a deepfake video of the artist on social media. The jury's initial verdict also found Cooper liable for emotional distress and promoting the doctored video.
