Megan Thee Stallion Case: Judgment Pending

While many might believe the legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and Milagro Gramz has concluded, the court has confirmed that no final judgment has been officially entered. Despite the jury ruling in Megan’s favor, there are still crucial legal steps to be taken before the case is formally closed.

Understanding the Post-Verdict Process

Legal correspondent Meghann Cuniff reported that even those present in the courtroom were uncertain about the next steps after the jury delivered its decision. The judge indicated that post-verdict motions must be addressed before a final judgment can be officially recorded on the court docket. This process is necessary because once a judgment is entered, the court loses its jurisdiction over the case.

This clarification means that legally, the case is not yet closed, even though the jury has already determined Milagro Gramz’s liability. The jury found Gramz responsible for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and promoting an altered explicit depiction, concluding that her online actions intentionally harmed Megan Thee Stallion.

Financial Totals and Legal Fees Pending

The jury awarded Megan Thee Stallion $75,000 in damages. Furthermore, due to Florida law, Milagro Gramz will also be required to cover Megan’s legal fees specifically related to the deepfake claim. However, these financial details will only be finalized once the judge issues the official judgment, which has not yet occurred.

Megan’s legal team has emphasized that the jury’s findings underscore the critical importance of accurate and responsible online commentary, especially concerning manipulated content. They have also noted that Milagro Gramz’s continued public statements, which they claim misrepresent the verdict, could potentially lead to further complications, prompting a request for her to remove such content immediately.

The Road to Finalization

While the jury’s verdict provided clarity on Milagro Gramz’s liability, the exact financial total and the final court order are still pending. The judge’s upcoming ruling will officially close the case and determine the full amount Milagro must pay. Until that judgment is officially filed, the legal process continues, and the final resolution remains on hold.
