On December 10, 2024, Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyers filed an amended complaint accusing her shooter Tory Lanez of “running a harassment campaign” against the rapper using YouTube podcaster Milagro Cooper “as his mouthpiece.” This is the latest update in Megan’s cyberstalking and defamation lawsuit against Cooper filed on October 30, 2024.
According to the recent filing, Megan’s attorneys claim they obtained prison phone call recordings between Tory Lanez and his father, Sonstar Peterson, discussing Cooper.
The filing added that Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyers obtained the recording by subpoenaing the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation.
“In one phone call, the Petersons confidently asserted that Ms. Pete (Megan Thee Stallion) would be unable to prove that Mr. Peterson paid Defendant (Cooper) for attacking Ms. Pete,” the complaint stated.
The complaint further alleged that Tory Lanez “is still orchestrating” his harassment campaign against Megan Thee Stallion by paying Cooper to spread misinformation about the rapper and the shooting case online.
It also claimed that Cooper’s “extreme and outrageous conduct” was causing Megan “severe emotional distress.”
“By consciously coordinating with Ms. Pete’s convicted assaulter to amplify Mr. Peterson’s disproven and baseless theories to help him seek retribution against Ms. Pete, Defendant engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct that has caused, and continues to cause, Ms. Pete severe emotional distress,” the complaint added.
Revisiting Megan Thee Stallion’s lawsuit against Milagro Cooper
On October 30, 2024, Megan The Stallion filed a lawsuit against YouTuber and podcaster Milagro Cooper, aka Milagro Gramz, accusing her of cyberstalking, “churning out falsehoods” and acting as a mouthpiece for Tory Lanez.
According to Billboard, the suit alleged the YouTuber conducted a public harassment campaign to “denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements” about the rapper.
“Enough is enough. Ms. Pete—a victim of violent crime and champion of women’s rights to her millions of fans worldwide—will no longer stand for defendant’s campaign of harassment,” said Megan’s attorney in a statement.
The suit also accused the YouTuber of spreading an “altered s*xual depiction” of Megan online. This came after the podcaster allegedly shared a deepfake p*rnographic image of Megan Thee Stallion on social media.
The suit claimed Cooper “liked” the deepfake on social media and then posted “Go to my likes” to encourage her followers to see the image. The lawsuit claimed Cooper intended “for this statement to encourage her followers and other members of the public to watch the Deepfake Video, which had been added to her ‘Likes’ page around the same time.
According to the lawsuit, Cooper also allegedly told her Stationhead and YouTube followers to visit her likes in an attempt to spread the image.
Milagro Cooper had previously accused Megan Thee Stallion of lying in her testimony
The lawsuit also questioned the legitimacy of Milagro Cooper’s coverage of the 2020 shooting case due to her alleged bias towards Tory Lanez. The complaint pointed out that Cooper’s coverage claimed Megan Thee Stallion lied about the shooting in her testimony and also falsely accused Lanez as the shooter.
According to court documents, the lawsuit referenced a statement that Cooper made on October 28 on social media, where she claimed the gun and bullet fragments from the shooting “have gone missing.”
She later recanted her claim after the California Attorney General’s Office filed a declaration on November 19 that the gun and fragments in question were in police possession.
“From this day forward today is November 19th and the public has been made aware of this form, I have to acknowledge that the gun, the bullet fragments […] the magazine and the bullet casings are with the LAPD,” she posted on X.
Megan Thee Stallion is reportedly seeking $75,000 in damages and a “permanent injunction” preventing Cooper from sharing the deepfake image of the rapper. In a statement to Billboard, Megan said:
“I’ve endured countless attacks on my character based on false narratives from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists. It’s unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.”
