Megan Speaks Out in Court
DOJO – Megan Thee Stallion took the stand Thursday in Miami, describing the emotional toll caused by a sexually explicit deepfake video allegedly promoted by blogger Milagro Gramz. The Grammy-winning rapper said the situation has left her feeling “defeated” and struggling with her mental health.
Lawsuit Details
Megan filed the lawsuit against Gramz, accusing her of encouraging thousands of followers on X and Instagram to view the unauthorized video. The suit claims Gramz acted as a “paid surrogate” for rapper Tory Lanez during and after his criminal trial. Megan alleges the blogger spread false statements, harassed her online, and promoted content intended to humiliate her.
Emotional Impact
“I feel a little defeated,” Megan testified, often breaking down in court. She explained that, even though the video was fake, the public circulation caused deep embarrassment and stress. Megan also described ongoing therapy and difficulty recovering from the 2020 shooting by Lanez, who is serving a 10-year sentence.
Blogger’s Response
Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, denies creating the deepfake but the lawsuit argues she “willfully and maliciously promoted” it. The case also mentions misinformation spread by Cooper about Megan’s trial, including false claims regarding the shooting and Megan’s character.
Legal Context and Precedent
Megan’s legal team is pursuing claims including promotion of altered sexual content, cyberstalking, and emotional distress. Similar cases exist in entertainment, such as Cardi B’s defamation win against YouTuber Tasha K, which resulted in a $4 million judgment.
What’s Next
The civil trial in Miami could last through December, and Megan is seeking damages while aiming to stop further harassment.
