Megan Thee Stallion has filed a lawsuit against social media commentator Milagro Gramz, claiming she spread damaging lies during Tory Lanez’s trial. Megan alleges Gramz (real name Milagro Cooper) acted as a “paid surrogate” for Lanez by pushing false narratives to undermine her. Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan in the foot in 2023, resulting in a 10-year prison sentence.
The lawsuit accuses Cooper of cyberstalking and defamation, saying she portrayed Megan as dishonest and even suggested the shooting never happened. Additionally, Cooper allegedly encouraged her followers to view a fake explicit video of Megan, further harming the rapper’s reputation. Megan is seeking damages for emotional distress and demanding an injunction to limit Cooper’s social media activity around her case.
Megan stated that “recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods” should have consequences, especially when it causes real harm. Cooper responded by arguing that this lawsuit violates her right to free speech. Her legal representatives claim Megan’s team is using the lawsuit to intimidate and silence her, making it a First Amendment issue.
This case raises questions about online accountability and freedom of speech. Where is the line between free expression and damaging misinformation? Cardi B recently won a defamation suit and was awarded $4 million over false claims made by a YouTuber. Many are watching closely to see if Megan’s lawsuit will follow a similar path.
Should influencers be held responsible for spreading unverified claims? Or does this lawsuit risk silencing voices in media?
Let’s discuss this!
