Legal Battle Continues: Megan Thee Stallion Challenges Milagro Gramz's Attempt to Pause $75,000 Judgment
Megan Thee Stallion is challenging Milagro Gramz's attempt to pause a $75,000 judgment while appealing the defamation case. Megan's legal team argues that Gramz should have to post a supersedeas bond equal to the judgment, plus anticipated interest and costs if any stay is allowed. They criticize Gramz's financial hardship claim as an effort to avoid consequences after the jury's verdict.
Gramz, also known as Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, requested the court to delay enforcing the judgment as she appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. She stated her income sources and financial constraints, emphasizing her inability to immediately satisfy the judgment or post a full supersedeas bond due to her fluctuating revenue streams and family responsibilities.
The legal battle stems from Megan's 2024 lawsuit against Gramz for her involvement in an online campaign linked to Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting Megan in 2020. A Miami jury found Cooper liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and promotion of an altered sexual depiction. The amended final judgment restored the $75,000 damages, leading to the current dispute over payment during the appeal process.
Megan's attorneys are adamant that Gramz's motion should be denied entirely, or if a stay is granted, it should be contingent upon posting a full supersedeas bond covering the judgment, interest, and costs. The legal battle continues as both parties navigate the complexities of the appeal process and financial obligations.
