Megan Thee Stallion's Legal Battle Against Milagro Gramz Heats Up

Megan Thee Stallion's Legal Battle Against Milagro Gramz Heats Up

Today, we're unpacking the high-profile lawsuit between Megan Pete (better known as Megan Thee Stallion) and Milagro Elizabeth Cooper (aka Milagro Gramz). If you've been following the fallout from the 2020 shooting incident involving Megan and Tory Lanez, this case is a wild extension of that chaos. As of September 22, 2025, things are escalating with new motions, witness lists, and discovery disputes. Let's break it down step by step.

A Quick Recap: How We Got Here

For those new to the story, Megan Thee Stallion was shot in the foot in July 2020 after a party in Hollywood Hills. Tory Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) was convicted in 2022 of assault with a firearm and is currently serving a 10-year sentence. Enter Milagro Gramz, a social media influencer who's been accused of being Lanez's online cheerleader. In 2023, Megan filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida, claiming Gramz defamed her, cyberstalked her, and caused intentional emotional distress. The suit alleges Gramz spread false narratives—like saying Megan lied about the shooting—and even promoted deepfake porn featuring Megan to incite harassment.

This isn't just petty online beef; it's a serious legal fight highlighting issues like online harassment, free speech, and the blurred lines between influencers and accountability. Gramz has defended herself by invoking Florida's anti-SLAPP laws, arguing her posts are protected speech.

Key Milestones in 2024 and Early 2025

The case has seen plenty of back-and-forth. In December 2024, Gramz tried to get the whole thing dismissed, but a judge partially denied it in February 2025. One count was tossed out, but the main claims—defamation and emotional distress—stuck around. Megan got until mid-February to tweak her complaint. Oh, and Tory Lanez himself was ordered to sit for a deposition because of his alleged connections to Gramz.

Mediation happened in March 2025 via Zoom, but no dice—it didn't lead to a settlement. By June, things got stricter: A gag order was slapped on Gramz, banning her from talking publicly about Megan or the case. Gramz also switched up her legal team amid the drama. And in July, she was hit with a $5,000 fine for dragging her feet on discovery requests.

The Latest Twists: September 2025 Updates

Fast-forward to now, and the case is still grinding on without a trial date in sight. But recent filings are turning up the heat. On September 8, Gramz dropped her witness list, and it's a doozy. We're talking big names like Carl Crawford (from 1501 Certified Entertainment), Kelsey Harris (a witness from the Lanez trial), media mogul Jason Lee, Tory Lanez's dad Sonstar Peterson, Kylie Jenner, Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, and even medical experts Dr. Milton Little and Dr. Anthony Loffredo. This lineup suggests Gramz's defense will revisit the shooting details and challenge Megan's narrative.

Just days ago, around September 20, Megan's team filed a motion to force DJ Akademiks (Livingston Allen) to testify about a leaked sealed court report. This report had DNA results from the gun in the 2020 shooting, and apparently, Akademiks and Gramz got their hands on it and chatted about it online—even though it was confidential. Megan wants to know who leaked it, and fingers are pointing toward Lanez or his circle.

On top of that, Megan is pushing for full access to Gramz's social media and digital records. Gramz allegedly blew a May 2025 deadline to hand them over, so discovery fights are raging. If this keeps up, we could see more sanctions or even a trial looming.

What Does This Mean for Megan and the Bigger Picture?

This lawsuit isn't just about two people clashing online—it's a spotlight on how social media can amplify harm and the legal tools available to fight back. Megan has been vocal about her trauma from the shooting and the online backlash, and winning here could set a precedent for holding influencers accountable. On the flip side, Gramz's free speech arguments raise questions about where criticism ends and harassment begins.

As we wait for more developments, keep an eye on court filings. If depositions from heavy-hitters like Kylie Jenner or Tory's dad happen, this could explode into even bigger headlines. What do you think—will it settle, or are we headed to a full-blown trial? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
