Social media personality Milagro Gramz, also known as Milagro Cooper, is facing mounting legal pressure after being sued by rapper Megan Thee Stallion for cyberstalking and defamation. In a significant development, Gramz has agreed to refrain from speaking publicly about the ongoing case, following strong warnings from the court.
The case, filed in Florida’s Southern District in 2024, alleges that Cooper engaged in a sustained campaign of online harassment, which included the sharing of AI-generated pornographic imagery falsely depicting Megan, whose real name is Megan Pete. Megan’s legal team also claims that Tory Lanez—who was convicted of shooting the rapper in 2020—paid Cooper to smear Megan’s name online during and after his trial.
Court Orders Silence to Prevent Escalation
During a virtual hearing in Miami this week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid instructed both parties to cease public commentary on the matter. Reid tasked Megan’s attorney, Robert Schwartz, with drafting a formal order to gag both sides to preserve the integrity of the case.
“There’s an accusation that you defamed her,” Judge Reid told Cooper. “My role is to contain what’s circulating online from both sides.”

The court’s intervention came shortly after Megan’s legal team raised concerns that online attacks could provoke real-world violence, referencing a recent incident in which Tory Lanez was stabbed in a California prison—an incident some online have tried to link to Megan without evidence.
Defendant Without Counsel, Deadline Looming
Cooper appeared at the hearing without legal representation, telling the court she is currently seeking new counsel after her previous attorney stepped down. She now has until June 27 to retain a lawyer and is ordered to sit for a deposition by July 1.
The court’s move to restrict public speech reflects growing concern over how social media platforms can amplify defamation, harassment, and misinformation, particularly involving high-profile figures.
Background: A Case Fueled by Internet Hype
Megan’s lawsuit accuses Cooper of:
- Cyberstalking
- Defamation
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
- Unauthorized use of sexually manipulated images, in violation of Florida state law
Schwartz also claims Cooper continued to publish defamatory statements, including attempts to falsely implicate Megan in Lanez’s prison stabbing.
Celebrity, Speech, and the Power of Social Media
This case underscores the dangerous intersection of celebrity reputation, digital influence, and misinformation, especially as AI-generated content and smear campaigns become more common.
While Megan Thee Stallion continues to defend her name in court, Milagro Gramz must now navigate the legal system under tight scrutiny and without a lawyer—at least for now.
