Megan Thee Stallion vs. Milagro: Court Rules on Defamation

A Florida judge has ruled that Megan Thee Stallion claims against blogger Milagro Cooper go beyond negligence. The court says Cooper led an intentional campaign to ruin Megan’s reputation.

Milagro accused Megan of perjury, calling her a liar and claiming she ruined Tory Lanez’s life. The judge found these statements could be seen as factual accusations, not just opinions.Legal experts highlight that accusations of perjury can be proven true or false. The ruling points out that Milagro did not use language like “I think,” which could indicate opinion.

The court noted her conduct did not show “impartial dissemination of information.”The judge rejected Milagro’s motion to dismiss the case. The ruling states that Megan’s claims depict a defamation campaign rather than neutral journalism.

Milagro attempted to justify her statements as substantially true by submitting social media posts and transcripts. However, the court ruled that these materials could not be considered at this stage.

Journalists and media figures are watching this case closely. Some believed Milagro’s statements were opinion, but the court sees them as potential defamation.With the case moving forward, Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team is set to prove that Milagro’s statements caused reputational harm.
