Megan Thee Stallion asked a federal judge to sanction Milagro Gramz and grant her access to her social media accounts due to missing evidence.
Megan Thee Stallion is urging a federal judge in Florida to sanction Milagro Gramz and grant her legal team direct access to Gramz’s social media accounts after repeated failures to comply with court orders in their ongoing defamation case.
In newly filed court documents, Megan’s attorneys allege that Gramz, whose legal name is Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, has ignored multiple requests to turn over documents and digital communications tied to the lawsuit.
The records were due by May 27, but Megan’s team says nothing has been produced.
The rapper’s legal team is asking the court to compel Gramz to immediately provide the requested materials and waive any objections she may have had to the discovery requests.
They also want a third-party forensic firm, FTI Consulting, to be granted access to Gramz’s accounts on platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord, and iMessage to retrieve potentially deleted or hidden messages.
If that access is denied, Megan’s lawyers are asking the court to instruct the jury to assume that any missing messages would have been damaging to Gramz’s defense.
The filing also includes a request for sanctions, including attorney fees, due to what Megan’s team describes as Gramz’s “continued refusal to participate in discovery.”
They argue that her lack of cooperation is obstructing the case and creating unnecessary legal expenses.
This dispute is part of a larger defamation and harassment lawsuit Megan filed against Gramz in 2023.
The suit accuses Gramz of spreading false claims online about the Tory Lanez shooting, including allegations that Megan lied under oath and distributed deepfake pornography.
The court previously ruled that Gramz’s statements were not protected as journalism or opinion, allowing the case to move forward. A gag order was also issued, barring Gramz from posting online about Megan.
After her previous lawyers withdrew due to unpaid fees, Gramz recently hired two new attorneys—Jeremy McLymont and Ronda Dixon—to avoid a default judgment, according to AllHipHop.
The court has scheduled a hearing for July 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to address the matter.
