Megan Thee Stallion Scores Victory in Defamation Lawsuit

Megan Thee Stallion has won her defamation lawsuit against a social media commentator and blogger. Milagro Cooper was found liable on Monday, Dec. 1 in a suit Megan filed back in Oct. 2024. According to ABC News, Cooper was found liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and promotion of an altered sexual depiction. 

“We’re thankful for the jury’s commitment to reinforcing the importance of truth, accountability and responsible commentary on social media,” said Megan’s attorney, Mari Henderson, in a statement. "This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences."

In her suit, Meg (real name Megan Pete) claimed that Cooper was a "paid surrogate" for singer/rapper Tory Lanez and was spreading lies about her on behalf of Lanez — who was convicted in 2023 of shooting and injuring her in a July 2020 incident. As blogger Milagro Gramz, it was alleged that Cooper participated in a coordinated campaign across social media to harass and defame Meg.

"I am not ecstatic, of course, you want things to go your way, but like I said, I respect the jury and what they decided, and I think I made out pretty good," Cooper said, according to WSVN. "I am just happy to be moving forward; things will be handled. It wasn't a multimillion-dollar verdict and I think that's a blessing. God is good through and through," Cooper added.

Cooper is now required to pay $59,000 in damages, reduced by the judge from $75,000, to Megan Thee Stallion.
