Megan Thee Stallion is standing firm in her legal battle against blogger Milagro Gramz, who recently petitioned the court to postpone the payment of a $75,000 defamation judgment awarded to the rapper. In early June, Gramz sought to delay the payment until her appeal is resolved, citing financial difficulties and the concern that paying the judgment could jeopardize her appeal.
In response, Megan’s legal team swiftly filed a counter-response, urging the court to require Gramz to post a bond equivalent to the judgment amount before any stay is granted. The legal documents highlight Gramz’s previous actions, including spreading false claims and sharing a deep-fake pornographic video of Megan, which the court found to be defamatory. Megan’s attorneys emphasized that Gramz should not be shielded from the consequences of her actions simply because she is now seeking leniency from the court.
The court’s recent ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga reinstated the jury’s verdict, which found Gramz liable for defamation. Following this decision, Megan was awarded $75,000, a judgment that Gramz is now attempting to sidestep as she appeals the case.
In her filing, Gramz characterized herself as a self-employed media commentator whose income fluctuates and does not allow her to immediately meet the financial obligation of the judgment. She also mentioned her responsibilities as the head of a household with two minor children, which adds to her financial strain.
The original jury determined that Gramz had collaborated with Tory Lanez and his father to defame Megan, leading to the judgment that is now under contest. As the legal proceedings continue, this case highlights the ongoing tensions within the celebrity sphere, where public statements and online interactions can lead to significant legal repercussions.
