Megan Thee Stallion secured a major courtroom win in Miami, where a federal jury found blogger Milagro Gramz liable for defamation and harassment tied to AI-generated deepfake content and a prolonged online campaign allegedly connected to Tory Lanez.
The jury has found Milagro defamed Megan Thee Stallion and intentionally inflicted emotional distress by coordinating with Tory Lanez and promoting the deep fake video at issue during the trial. Court reporter Meghann Cuniff explained that the jury found her liable on all three claims, but the defamation claim might still go away because Megan’s lawyers forgot a simple rule: they were supposed to warn Milagro before suing her and they didn’t.Cuniff added that the damages totaled $75,000, including punitive damages.
Megan filed the lawsuit in October 2024, accusing Gramz of spreading a pornographic deepfake video and false narratives that damaged her reputation and mental health. Jurors heard emotional testimony from the Houston artist, who detailed the toll the harassment took on her career and well-being, describing how the smear campaign led to the loss of at least four music deals, each reportedly worth around $1 million.
