For years after the 2020 shooting, Megan Thee Stallion endured harassment and false accusations online. She finally confronted one of her loudest critics in court Milagro Gramz (legal name Milagro Cooper) and on December 1, 2025 a jury sided with Megan, marking a significant moment in her long fight for justice and truth.The verdict didn’t just offer financial compensation. It publicly affirmed that what was done to her wasn’t just “rumours on the internet,” but actions that caused real emotional and professional harm.Defamation Jury Rules in Favor of Megan Thee Stallion in Case Against Milagro GramzAt the heart of the trial was a pattern of posts and a manipulated video that Megan said deepened her trauma. The court found that Milagro Gramz not only spread false claims calling Megan a “paid surrogate” “puppet” and “mouthpiece” for rapper Tory Lanez, who shot Megan in 2020 but also encouraged her followers to view an AI-generated, sexually explicit video portraying Megan without her consent. Jurors concluded that Gramz knowingly amplified harmful misinformation and a deepfake depiction, causing emotional distress.During testimony, Megan Thee Stallion detailed how the harassment post-shooting made her feel unsafe, depressed, and unable to pursue career opportunities. She revealed that the ordeal forced her into therapy, and her mental health and ability to work suffered deeply.Although the jury initially awarded $75,000 in damages, a judge reduced the final award to $59,000 still a clear win for Megan Thee Stallion, but a reminder that courts weigh multiple factors such as actual harm and legal standards carefully.In court, the defence tried to argue that the real source of Megan’s distress was the original shooting not the blogger’s posts. But the jury disagreed, determining that Gramz’s conduct independently caused substantial harm on top of any prior trauma.In their judgement, jurors called Gramz liable for defamation, the intentional infliction of emotional distress, and promotion of an altered sexual depiction. Under Florida law, this means she must also cover Megan’s legal fees which could amount to far more than the damages themselves.This ruling sends a message: malicious misinformation and deepfake abuse even online and anonymous can and will be treated as real wrongdoing under the law. For Megan Thee Stallion, it brings not just compensation but public recognition that what she experienced wasn’t just "drama" but harassment with serious consequences.
