A Florida jury sided with Megan Thee Stallion on Monday, agreeing that a blogger defamed and harassed the rapper after she was shot five years ago by R&B musician Tory Lanez.
The federal panel of five men and four women came down in favor of the artist born Megan Pete in her lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper.
Jurors awarded the plaintiff $75,000.
The musician accused the blogger of being a “mouthpiece,” “puppet” and “paid surrogate” for Lanez, who shot Megan on July 15, 2020, in Los Angeles .
Jurors found that Cooper willfully encouraged her thousands of followers on X and Instagram to view a sexually explicit deepfake video of Pete that had been circulating on social media .
