Megan Thee Stallion Defamation Verdict: Justice Served

Back in October 2024, Megan Thee Stallion filed a civil lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz (legal name Milagro Cooper), accusing her of spreading false claims, including that Megan was a “paid surrogate” for rapper Tory Lanez and promoting a sexually explicit deepfake video of the artist after a 2020 shooting incident. 

The Verdict That Shocked the Internet

On December 1, 2025, a Miami federal jury returned a verdict: Milagro Gramz was found liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and contributing to the distribution of the altered video. 

The court initially awarded Megan $75,000 in damages. After judicial review, the amount was later adjusted to $59,000. 

Why This Win Matters Beyond Money

Reputation Repair & Accountability

The verdict reinforces that spreading false claims and deepfake content can have serious legal consequences — even for bloggers. Megan’s legal team emphasized this as a stand for truth and accountability in the digital age.

Mental Health & Victim Support

Megan testified about the emotional distress and mental health toll the harassment caused — including seeking therapy and losing career opportunities. The ruling is viewed as a victory for survivors who face online harassment.

Precedent for Digital Defamation Cases

As AI-generated deepfakes become more common, this case sets a benchmark — a reminder that courts may hold parties responsible for creating or promoting harmful, manipulated content.

Since the verdict:

• Milagro Gramz has posted provocative comments, drawing backlash from many who see the verdict as a message against harmful online behavior.
• Legal experts note the case could encourage similar lawsuits from public figures harmed by deepfakes or false online narratives
• Many fans and advocates applauded the jury’s decision — calling it a win not just for Megan, but for all people vulnerable to online slander and manipulation.

Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation victory isn’t just about money or fame — it’s about reclaiming her truth and forcing accountability in an age where misinformation spreads fast. This ruling may just change how celebrities, victims, and everyday people handle defamation, deepfakes, and online harassment going forward.
