A federal jury in Florida ruled that Megan Thee Stallion was defamed by blogger Milagro Gramz following the high-profile shooting involving Tory Lanez in 2020.
The panel of five men and four women sided with the Houston rapper, awarding her $75,000, later adjusted to $59,000 by U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga. The lawsuit claimed that Gramz, real name Milagro Cooper, spread false narratives and amplified a fake sexually explicit video featuring Megan, encouraging her thousands of followers to engage.
Megan’s legal team described the blogger as a strategic supporter of Lanez, calling her a “mouthpiece” and “paid surrogate” who contributed to online harassment. The case stems from the 2020 incident where Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, shot Megan in the foot after a party at Kylie Jenner’s house. He was later convicted on multiple felony charges and sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Megan has said the backlash and harassment she’s endured since the incident have taken a toll on her mental health. The court ruling not only offers financial compensation but also sends a strong message about the consequences of targeting and defaming victims online.
