Megan Thee Stallion is moving forward with an appeal in her defamation case against blogger Milagro Gramz, but Gramz is standing her ground—and representing herself.
The original case concluded with a mixed outcome: damages were reduced to $59,000, and the court dismissed Megan’s defamation claim after determining that Gramz qualified as a media defendant. Now, according to AllHipHop, Gramz has filed a response to Megan’s appeal, arguing that there’s no legal basis to revisit the ruling.
In her filing, Gramz contends that Megan already accepted the benefit of the reduced judgment, making it inconsistent to now challenge the decision. She also maintains that Megan previously agreed to let a jury determine whether Gramz should be classified as a media defendant—an issue that ultimately worked in the blogger’s favor. From Gramz’s perspective, the appeal attempts to undo a process both sides already accepted.
The lawsuit dates back to 2024, when Megan accused Gramz of spreading false statements in connection with the 2020 shooting involving Tory Lanez. Megan also alleged that Gramz reposted deepfake pornographic content depicting her—claims that became central to the case.
In December, the jury ruled that Gramz’s work placed her under the legal definition of a media defendant. That finding meant Megan was required to give special notice before filing a defamation lawsuit, leading the court to dismiss that portion of the case. However, the jury did find Gramz liable for promoting the deepfake content, resulting in the remaining damages.
Following the verdict, Gramz addressed supporters during an Instagram Live session, reflecting on what the case meant for online creators and independent media voices. Speaking in a clip later shared by Hot 97, she thanked her audience and emphasized the legitimacy of “new media,” saying she was proud to stand by her beliefs without needing outside validation.
As the appeal process continues, the dispute highlights a growing legal gray area at the intersection of celebrity, blogging, and media classification. Whether Megan’s appeal gains traction or the original ruling stands, the case is likely to remain a touchstone for how courts view independent online commentators moving forward.
