Judge dismisses defamation case against blogger in Megan Thee Stallion lawsuit

A judge dismissed a jury’s defamation verdict against Milagro Cooper, a social media commentator, in a lawsuit by Megan Thee Stallion, citing lack of legal notice prior to filing. Although Cooper was found liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress and promotion of an altered sexual depiction, damages were reduced from $75,000 to $59,000. Megan alleged Cooper was a “paid surrogate” for Tory Lanez, who was convicted for shooting her in 2020. Cooper’s claims about the incident included doubts about Megan’s shooting, but she denied being influenced by Lanez.
