MIAMI — 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 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 the blogger willfully encouraged her thousands of followers on X and Instagram to view a sexually explicit deepfake video of the artist that'd been circulating on social media.
Lanez shot Megan in the foot after the pair left a party at Kylie Jenner’s home in 2020.
A Los Angeles jury found Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, guilty of three felony charges on Dec. 23, 2022: Assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
He was sentenced to up to 10 years behind bars.
The plaintiff said she’s been struggling with mental health since the shooting and harassment from the blogger.
