A judge reinstates Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation judgment against Milagro Gramz, following a ruling that concerns how Gramz’s statements were organized and who commissioned them. According to reports, the court finds that Gramz was “commissioned” by people connected to Tory Lanez’s family to portray Megan Thee Stallion as a liar in coverage related to their past dispute. The reinstatement is described as restoring the full verdict in Megan’s favor. Rolling Stone and Billboard both state that the judge’s decision eliminates protections that would otherwise apply to media defendants for the statements at issue. Billboard reports the verdict is for $75,000 and that the judge reinstates the entirety of that judgment. Rolling Stone likewise characterizes the ruling as reinstating the defamation decision and linking the blogger’s conduct to arrangements involving Lanez’s family. The reports agree the judge’s findings play a central role in reinstating the judgment.
