The judge in Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation lawsuit against Milagro Gramz, real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, has issued a gag order against the gossip blogger.
As reported by Law360, which listened in on the Wednesday (June 4) court hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid issued the gag order on Milagro, who is facing a lawsuit from Megan Thee Stallion for engaging in an alleged “campaign of harassment” against the rapper.
Milagro is now banned from discussing Megan when it comes to the Tory Lanez case, for which he was found guilty of shooting Megan in the foot in July 2020.
Milagro, who is representing herself in the lawsuit, has agreed to stop posting about the case online after Megan expressed concern her comments could incite violence.
“There’s an accusation that you defamed her,” Reid said. “So what I have to do as a judge in this case is at least contain the information that’s going around in social media from you right now on this case. And the plaintiff would be required to do the same. If she were posting about you or this case, that would be highly inappropriate as well.”
Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney, Robert Schwartz, alleged that Milagro has continued to post defamatory comments about his client. He noted that she suggested that Meg was “involved and associated” with the alleged prison stabbing of Tory, which happened last month.
“It’s really getting out of hand,” Schwartz said. “What I’ve described is the least of it. It has taken itself to a more serious level. It rises potentially, at least in our judgments, to a level of incitement. There’s a real risk that people could act on the defendant’s statements.”
The case against Milagro, which was filed by Megan in October last year, is still pending. Reid said that Milagro will need to hold off on holding “press conferences” or sharing “media posts” until that changes.
Milagro has until June 27 to find new legal counsel, or she will have to represent herself in court. Her deposition in the case has been tentatively set for July 1.
“It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying, and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life,” Megan said in a statement announcing the lawsuit last year. “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.”
