Megan Thee Stallion’s Legal Battle: Tory Lanez to Be Questioned from Prison

Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team has been granted permission to depose Tory Lanez from behind bars as part of her defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. This latest legal development adds another layer to the ongoing battle between Megan and those she alleges have engaged in an orchestrated campaign to discredit her. Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawyers have been granted permission to question Tory Lanez from behind bars as part of her defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. On Monday (February 24), the Houston rapper’s legal team filed a motion to request permission to depose Tory in her suit, as it directly involves him as well.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Lawsuit: Key Details

On February 24, 2024, Megan’s lawyers filed a motion requesting permission to question Tory Lanez from prison, arguing that his involvement is crucial in the lawsuit. The lawsuit, initially filed in October 2023, accuses Milagro Gramz (real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper) of cyberstalking, emotional distress, and promoting an altered sexual depiction of Megan.

Megan alleges that Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting her in July 2020 and is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence, paid third-party bloggers to spread false narratives and damage her reputation. One of the key claims in the lawsuit is that Gramz acted as a mouthpiece for Tory Lanez, amplifying misinformation about Megan to sway public perception in his favor.

Deepfake Controversy and Cyberstalking Allegations

The lawsuit specifically charges Gramz with:

• Defamation – Spreading false information that harmed Megan’s reputation.

• Promotion of an altered sexual depiction – Allegedly directing her followers to a deepfake pornographic video of Megan.

• Cyberstalking – Engaging in online harassment.

• Intentional infliction of emotional distress – Contributing to Megan’s public scrutiny and emotional suffering.

One particularly damning claim in the suit is that Tory Lanez’s father allegedly made payments totaling $3,000 to Gramz. Megan used this evidence to file for (and receive) a restraining order against Tory Lanez for harassment last month.

Tory Lanez’s Alleged Role in the Defamation Campaign

Megan’s lawsuit describes Gramz’s close ties with Tory Lanez, stating:

“Defendant acts as a paid surrogate used to spread [Tory]’s lies about [Megan].”

This suggests that Gramz was part of a coordinated effort to damage Megan’s credibility, especially in the wake of Tory’s conviction. The lawsuit further claims that Gramz played a significant role in distributing misinformation to sway public opinion against Megan, casting doubt on her allegations about the 2020 shooting.

Gramz’s Response to the Lawsuit

Following news of the lawsuit, Gramz took to social media to respond to the allegations, seemingly unfazed by Megan’s legal action. On her X account (formerly Twitter), she wrote:

“Countersuit gone go crazy.”

She also appeared to mock the claims that she was acting on behalf of Tory Lanez:

“I den went from being ignored to an alleged employee, deum y’all taking me too fast.”

Her social media posts suggest she is not backing down and may even consider a counter-lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion.

Trial Date Set for July 2025

While the legal battle continues to unfold, a trial date of July 21, 2025, has been set. This means that the case will continue for at least another year, potentially revealing more details about the alleged misinformation campaign and the extent of Tory Lanez’s involvement.

If Megan’s legal team successfully deposes Tory Lanez, it could provide key testimony that strengthens her case, offering further proof that he was actively engaged in an attempt to smear her reputation. Alternatively, if Lanez’s testimony does not support Megan’s claims, it could create challenges for her lawsuit.

The Bigger Picture: Megan Thee Stallion’s Fight Against Misinformation

Megan’s lawsuit highlights the broader issue of celebrity defamation and online harassment. The rise of deepfake technology and social media-fueled misinformation has made it easier than ever to spread harmful falsehoods, particularly targeting high-profile women in entertainment.

This is not the first time Megan has had to defend herself against public attacks. Since the July 2020 shooting, she has faced relentless criticism, with many questioning her story. However, the guilty verdict against Tory Lanez in 2023 proved that her allegations were true, vindicating her in court. Now, she’s fighting back against those who she claims contributed to a smear campaign against her.

The lawsuit also brings important legal questions to the forefront:

• How should courts handle online harassment and deepfake content?

• Should social media platforms be held accountable for allowing defamatory content to spread?

• What responsibilities do public figures have when engaging in social media disputes?

What’s Next for Megan Thee Stallion?

With the lawsuit in motion and a trial date set, Megan Thee Stallion remains determined to clear her name and hold Gramz and others accountable for their actions. If Tory Lanez is deposed, it could provide critical insight into how deeply involved he was in orchestrating the alleged smear campaign.

The outcome of this case could have lasting implications for celebrity defamation cases, especially in an era where misinformation and social media attacks can spread rapidly. Megan’s legal battle could set a precedent for how artists and public figures handle similar targeted harassment campaigns.

As this legal battle unfolds, one thing is clear: Megan is committed to fighting for justice—both for herself and for others who have been victims of online harassment and misinformation.

Final Thoughts: The Power of Standing Up Against Defamation

Megan Thee Stallion’s lawsuit against Milagro Gramz is about more than just one person’s online attacks—it’s about holding people accountable for the harmful impact of false narratives in the digital age. By taking legal action, Megan is setting a precedent for celebrities and public figures who are frequently targeted by cyberstalking and defamatory content.

If Megan emerges victorious in this case, it could pave the way for more stringent legal protections against deepfake pornographic content, defamation, and harassment in the digital space. The lawsuit may also prompt stronger regulations around social media misinformation and how platforms handle fabricated content about celebrities.
