Megan Thee Stallion's Rep Argues Context After Legal Win Over Blogger

Megan Thee Stallion has emerged victorious following the end of her defamation case with the blogger, Milagro "Gramz" Cooper. However, both sides have different understandings of what happened in court. M

The "Hot Girl Summer" hitmaker became embroiled in a defamation lawsuit with the media personality following the latter's comments about the 2020 Tory Lanez shooting. The latter supported the incarcerated rapper and dropped scathing allegations about Megan.

After butting heads in court before a jury, Milagro "Gramz" Cooper ended up losing the battle on Monday, December 1. Nonetheless, her attorney argued that the jury's verdict wasn't a complete loss for the blogger, as Megan Thee Stallion didn't achieve the victory she wanted.

According to Milagro's legal rep, Jeremy McLymont, the court did not find his client liable for defamation in the final judgment. He noted that the jury's decision to award Megan damages wasn't a complete loss as they offered the rapper "a nominal amount" compared to the millions she had demanded.

Megan's legal team refuted this statement, accusing Milagro's attorney of sharing a false narrative of what happened in court.

They told TMZ, "The court has not issued a final judgment regarding the defamation count. The judge will make a final ruling and determine the entire financial amount that Milagro will be required to pay Megan."

As for why Milagro's attorney believes she was not found liable for defamation, his words referenced the jury's decision to see the blogger as a "media personality." This distinction under Florida law meant that Megan was required to send a cease and desist letter to Milagro before filing a defamation lawsuit.

According to the outlet, the jury awarded Megan $75,000 in damages. The sum included $15,000 for defamation, $8,000 for emotional distress, $50,000 for a deep fake porn posted online, and an additional $2,000 for punitive damages and emotional distress.

Under Florida law, Milagro was liable for Megan's attorney fees and could end up paying more than the $75K in the judge's final judgment. However, the damages sum might be reduced if the judge decides to toss the defamation damages.

The defamation damages would be dismissed if the judge ruled that, as a "media personality," Milagro wasn't liable for defamation under Florida law. If tossed, the damages sum would be reduced to $59,000, or likely increased if the blogger got slammed with Megan's legal expenses.

Following the December 1 hearing, Megan left the Florida Courthouse with her legal team and her former manager, Travis Farris, after the jury's verdict was read. She paused to share her joy with the reporters waiting outside, declaring, "I'm just happy."

On the other hand, Milagro could not echo similar sentiments, confessing that she did not believe she could foot the bill when the final judgment arrived. Megan sued the blogger in October 2024, accusing her of online harassment in support of Lanez.

During the defamation trial, Milagro faced accusations of sharing a deep-fake sex tape of Megan, which many had believed was real. The rapper also took the stand to call out the blogger for her actions, claiming the fake video and false allegations reignited her trauma for the 2020 shooting.

During Megan's defamation drama with Milagro, she was facing off with Lanez in his attempt to prove his innocence in the 2020 shooting. He was sentenced to ten years in prison in August 2023 after he was convicted for shooting the female rapper in the foot.

The Blast reported that his legal woes increased in November, with a $20,000 fine for failing to allow Megan's legal team to depose him. He was uncooperative throughout the deposition attempts on three separate occasions, including a disruptive episode on November 15.

Lanez had to be taken out of court while screaming at Megan's lawyer. Additionally, his attorney wasn't spared, as the judge held her in contempt for trying to coach Lanez during his deposition. Megan also fell victim to a $5,000 fine for failing to abide by ethics and professional standards in court.

The legal battle between Lanez and Megan reignited when he claimed to have new evidence proving his innocence. The Blast shared that his legal team released a statement from Bradley James, the former driver and bodyguard of Megan's ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris.

James alleged he was a witness to the shooting and overheard Harris saying she fired a gun three times at Megan before Lanez intervened. According to the former bodyguard's statement, Lanez grabbed Harris' arm, causing the weapon to fire two more times.

Megan's legal team called BS on the story, with her attorney, Alex Spiro, stressing that Lanez was waging a losing war. He argued that the rapper was found guilty based on "overwhelming evidence (that included his own admission of his guilt)."

Will the final judgment in Megan Thee Stallion's defamation case hold the blogger accountable?
