  • Megan Thee Stallion Testifies Against Blogger

    It’s not easy being in the public eye, and Megan Thee Stallion is making sure her voice is heard when it comes to the damaging effects of online harassment. The Grammy-winning artist recently took the stand in a Miami federal courtroom to testify in her defamation case against blogger Milagro Cooper, who is known online as Milagro Gramz.

    The Emotional Toll of Online Attacks

    For nearly two hours, Megan Pete (her real name) detailed the years of online harassment she says she’s endured. She told the court that Cooper’s actions went beyond simple opinions, alleging that the blogger orchestrated a campaign to discredit her, spread lies, and turn people against her. This intensified, she claims, after the 2020 shooting incident where Tory Lanez was convicted of injuring her.

    Pete testified that Cooper was allegedly working with Lanez to undermine her story. The emotional impact has been immense. She shared how Cooper’s posts fueled widespread hate, creating an environment where strangers felt emboldened to insult her, question her experience as a victim of violence, and even blame her for what happened.

    Fighting for Her Reputation

    Megan expressed the deep pain of having her personality and lifestyle dissected instead of focusing on the fact that she is a victim. She recounted how people used her public persona – her discussions about sex, twerking, and drinking – as justification for blaming her for being shot. This victim-blaming narrative is something she’s fighting against.

    Furthermore, Pete stated that Cooper repeatedly portrayed her as unstable and untrustworthy, pushing a narrative designed to make people doubt her credibility. She described this as harassment that has significantly damaged her reputation and potentially put her safety at risk. “She’s created a space for a lot of people to come speak negatively about me,” Pete said of Cooper’s influence on social media.

    Seeking Accountability

    The testimony concluded with a brief break before cross-examination, but Megan Thee Stallion’s appearance in court sends a clear message: she is fed up with being a target of online attacks and is seeking legal accountability for the harm she believes has been done. This case is ongoing, highlighting the serious consequences of online defamation and harassment.

  • Judge Rules Milagro Gramz Not a Journalist

    The defamation case filed by Megan Thee Stallion against blogger Milagro Gramz is heating up, and a recent court ruling has dealt a significant blow to Gramz. In a move that could impact her defense, a judge has determined that Milagro Gramz is not a legitimate journalist, effectively stripping her of the protections typically afforded to reporters.

    Her Own Words Seal the Deal

    According to reports from The Neighborhood Talk, Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team filed new documents arguing that Gramz lacks any journalistic merit. The core of their argument is that Gramz should not be able to hide behind journalistic ethics because she doesn’t operate as a true journalist. The presiding judge agreed, using Gramz’s own past statements as evidence.

    The court resurfaced quotes from Gramz’s own livestreams, where she explicitly stated things like, ‘I did not tell anybody I was a reporter… I ain’t never told you I went to school for journalism… You don’t need to be a journalist to give an opinion.’ These candid admissions proved crucial in the judge’s decision.

    Lack of Journalistic Integrity

    Adding to her legal troubles, Gramz also reportedly admitted to having no knowledge of journalistic ethics or the standard processes involved in reporting. This further solidified the court’s stance that her content is not that of a professional journalist.

    Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team argues that this ruling clearly demonstrates Gramz was merely spreading opinions, potentially influenced by Tory Lanez and his father, Sonstar Peterson. The goal of this motion is to officially label Gramz as an inauthentic reporter, preventing her from using journalistic privilege as a shield.

    The Trial Looms

    This defamation case stems from statements made by Gramz concerning the 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. Megan Thee Stallion filed the lawsuit over a year ago, accusing Gramz of ‘churning out falsehoods’ and attacking her character with false narratives. She stated last year, ‘It’s unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.’

    The trial for this high-profile defamation case is scheduled to begin on Monday, November 17, 2025. The outcome could set a significant precedent for how social media content creators are treated in legal proceedings, especially when they claim journalistic privilege.
