Megan Thee Stallion won her defamation lawsuit<\/a> against the blogger Milagro Gramz, real name Milagro Cooper, on December 1. Cooper was found liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and spreading a sexual deepfake of Megan after the rapper was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in July 2020, per NBC News<\/a>. The jury initially awarded Megan damages of $75,000, but judge Cecilia M. Altonaga brought the total down to $59,000. In their filing, Megan\u2019s lawyers accused Cooper of being a \u201cmouthpiece,\u201d \u201cpuppet,\u201d and \u201cpaid surrogate\u201d for Lanez after the shooting. Her lawyers said Cooper had \u201cacted on behalf of\u201d Lanez as \u201can online rumor mill churning out falsehoods \u2026 to her tens of thousands of social-media followers\u201d and noted she was paid by Lanez\u2019s father, Sonstar Peterson, according to Local 10 Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just happy,\u201d Megan said in a video shared<\/a> by court reporter Meghann Cuniff outside the courtroom. Cooper, however, told NBC News she\u2019s \u201cnot ecstatic.\u201d \u201cOf course, you want things to go your way, but like I said, I respect the jury and what they decided,\u201d she stated. Her lawyer, Jeremy McLymont, meanwhile, was pleased the damages were not higher. \u201cWe respect the jury\u2019s verdict \u2014 you always have to, right? Whether we agree with it or not, we respect it,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the end of the day, it was not a complete win for any side.\u201d Lanez, who in 2023 was convicted of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence, continues to serve his ten-year prison sentence<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winner.
