Megan Thee Stallion is suing YouTuber and social media personality Milagro Gramz for allegedly acting as a “mouthpiece and puppet” for Tory Lanez, who shot the rapper in 2020.
In a new lawsuit filed Wednesday, Megan’s attorney Alex Spiro accused Gramz, real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, of waging a public campaign to “denigrate, belittle, insult and spread false statements” about Megan, 29, on behalf of Lanez, 32 .
The blogger is accused of going so far as to share a “deepfake pornographic video” depicting the rapper, real name Megan Pete — a move that Spiro says violates a Florida statute that prohibits “altered sexual images ‘ of real people.
In a statement shared with DailyMail.com, Megan said: ‘It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life.
“I have suffered numerous attacks on my character based on false stories from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists.”

She continued: ‘It is unacceptable behavior and these individuals must understand that there will be consequences for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.’

After quoting from the letter, she added: “Of course we talk about it. They threw the tape in there too.”
The lawsuit alleges that Gramz disseminated false statements “for no other reason than to bully, harass and punish Ms. Pete for Mr. Peterson’s conviction and to tarnish her reputation, causing emotional distress.”
Citing the blogger’s decision to share the alleged deepfake video, the lawsuit said: “The lengths to which Defendant Cooper goes to harass Ms. Pete knows no bounds. For example, she has gone so far as to share a deepfake pornographic video of Ms. Pete.
“After Defendant’s conduct led to a barrage of negative responses from others, Defendant doubled down in a YouTube video on June 9, 2024, claiming Ms. Pete was a ‘professional victim’ and denying any wrongdoing.”
It continued: “But the defendant is wrong; her conduct constituted an unlawful promotion of a modified sexual image and caused Ms. Pete serious emotional distress and reputational harm.”
The lawsuit noted that Megan “repeatedly attempted to stop Defendant Cooper’s misconduct” and “asked what it would take to no longer be posted on Defendant’s platforms.”
In a statement on X, Gramz acknowledged the lawsuit, telling her followers, “Of course we will talk about it. They threw the tape in there too.”
“In response, Defendant gave the spiteful advice that Ms. Pete should ‘just get over it or leave,’” the complaint alleges.
Megan’s attorney wrote in a letter to the blogger, “Ms. “Pete – a victim of violent crimes and a champion of women’s rights to her millions of fans worldwide – will no longer stand up for the defendant’s campaign of intimidation.”
He stated that Gramz repeatedly spread falsehoods about the case, including questioning whether Megan had even been shot and claiming the rapper had been “caught misleading the courts.”
It is alleged that Gramz recently raised the “outlandish claim” that the gun used in the shooting was missing, as an example of how the YouTuber has acted on Lanez’s behalf as a “paid surrogate used to spread lies ‘.
Lanez was convicted of three felonies in August 2023 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The Canadian musician, who recently appealed his guilty verdict, was convicted after a bitter war of words with Megan, sparking an equally heated public debate among fans of the hitmakers.
After his conviction, Lanez could be deported to Canada, where he was born.
Lanez grew up from birth in Brampton, Ontario, before the rapper’s family moved to Montreal and later moved south of the border, first to Miami and then to Atlanta.
Lanez was found guilty by a unanimous jury of three firearms charges: assault with a semi-automatic firearm, grossly negligent discharge of a firearm and carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle.
Lanez was found guilty of the 2020 shooting of Megan Pete, 29, which left her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet. The rapper was sentenced to 10 years in prison
The rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was part of the general population of North Kern State Prison
In emotional testimony during Lanez’s trial, Megan Thee Stallion admitted to having a sexual relationship with the defendant and recounted how they got into an argument in the back of his SUV while in the Hollywood Hills.
Early in the day of July 12, 2020, they had attended a pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house, and the two had been drinking prior to their subsequent argument.
Megan testified that she asked Lanez’s driver to let her out of the car, and she told him, “Dans b****!” and started firing his gun at her.
He allegedly shot it five times and hit the WAP rapper in the feet, after which surgery was required to repair the damage.
Megan then claimed that he offered her and her boyfriend Kelsey Harris a million dollars to keep quiet about the shooting since he was already “on probation.”
Megan also claimed that Lanez apologized to her afterwards and attributed the shooting to his drunkenness.
