Megan Thee Stallion's Defamation Lawsuit Against Milagro Gramz: Trial Update
11/28/2025, 2:17:11 PM
Overview of the Defamation Case
Megan Thee Stallion has initiated a defamation lawsuit against online commentator Milagro Gramz, alleging that Gramz disseminated false information regarding her involvement in a shooting incident and collaborated with Tory Lanez. The trial commenced earlier this month, with jury deliberations beginning on November 26, 2025. The jury, consisting of five men and four women, deliberated for approximately 5.5 hours before pausing for the Thanksgiving holiday, with plans to resume on November 29.
Key Testimonies and Evidence
During the trial, Megan Thee Stallion testified about the emotional toll of Gramz's alleged actions, including the sharing of a deepfake pornographic video, which led her to experience suicidal thoughts. She revealed that she sought therapy to cope with these feelings, incurring costs of around $240,000, as testified by her former manager, Travis Farris.
The jury was presented with various recordings and social media posts from Gramz, which included derogatory comments about Megan. Notably, one of the statements in question was a tweet from December 21, 2022, where Gramz suggested that Megan was a non-credible witness in a related case involving Tory Lanez. The jury was tasked with determining whether these statements constituted defamation under Florida law.
Legal Arguments and Jury Instructions
Megan's legal team, led by attorney John O'Sullivan, argued that Gramz's statements were defamatory and harmful to Megan's reputation. O'Sullivan emphasized the importance of the truth in the context of the criminal justice process, asserting that "Tory shot Meg." In contrast, Gramz's defense claimed that she operates as "new media" and should be considered a media defendant under Florida law, which could potentially dismiss the defamation claim if Megan's team failed to notify Gramz of the lawsuit in advance.
The jury posed questions during deliberations, seeking clarification on specific exhibits and the application of Florida's laws regarding digitally altered sexual depictions, which form part of Megan's claims against Gramz.
Criticism and Opposition
Gramz's defense team highlighted the distinction between her online persona and her real-life character, arguing that her comments were made in the context of entertainment rather than journalism. Gramz herself stated, "I know I’m rough... but when it is all said and done, I’m a good person with a good heart who cares about people." This defense aims to position her statements as protected commentary rather than malicious defamation.
What's Next
As the jury prepares to resume deliberations on November 29, the outcome of this high-profile case remains uncertain. The verdict will hinge on the jury's interpretation of the evidence presented and the legal definitions of defamation and media responsibility under Florida law.
