In the latest blow of Megan Thee Stallion's long battle in court, the rap icon is now able to depose her alleged attacker, Tory Lanez, when he is serving out his sentence. This is the latest update in her ongoing lawsuit against the blogger Milagro Gramz, whom she accuses of defaming her with false claims and malicious online harassment.
Megan's birth name is Megan Pete, and she is allowed to grill Lanez under oath as part of her efforts in her case against Gramz. Lanez, who was found guilty in 2022 of shooting Megan, is serving a 10-year sentence at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California. Now, he will have to respond directly to accusations that he helped to fuel a smear campaign against her.
Milagro Gramz, a social media personality and vocal Lanez supporter, has become the focus of this legal maelstrom. Megan says Gramz circulated destructive falsehoods about her, including claims that she perjured herself, is an alcoholic, and needs a guardian. But that's not all because Megan also claims that Gramz was amplifying a deepfake pornographic video of her, part of a growing campaign of online harassment.
Megan's legal team claims Lanez had a hand in this, reportedly using Gramz as a mouthpiece to come for her from behind bars. Court filings indicate that Lanez, while behind bars, had worked with his father, Sonstar Peterson, to arrange payments to Gramz and continued the defamatory statements. Megan's lawyers argue that questioning Lanez directly is necessary to uncover the full details of his involvement.
Though Gramz and Lanez's legal representatives reportedly did not contest the deposition request, the decision still needed a judge's green light. With those stars aligning, Tory Lanez must start preparing to answer questions under oath about whether he orchestrated or encouraged Gramz's social media attacks on Megan.
For Megan, this deposition is about accountability for those who wielded social media as a weapon to deceive and damage her reputation. Her legal team is convinced that Lanez's testimony will ultimately be crucial in presenting a coordinated effort to discredit her that extends from social media platforms directly up to prison walls.
This case isn't just another installment in the ongoing Megan Thee Stallion vs. Tory Lanez saga but is a statement about the power and responsibility wielded by social media influencers, the possible ramifications of online mobs, and the far-reaching consequences of defamation. Now that Lanez has been ordered to speak under oath, the stakes have only gotten higher.
As this legal battle continues to play out, what is apparent is that Megan Thee Stallion is not backing down, and she will make sure to clear her name and combat all who try to tear her down. In this latest move, she ensures that every voice in this controversy is heard under penalty of perjury.
