Overview

  • A Florida federal judge sanctioned Lanez to cover Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney fees for his disruptive April 9 Zoom deposition in her defamation suit against blogger Milagro Gramz.
  • The deposition from Tehachapi State Prison was cut short after Lanez insulted Megan’s counsel, interrupted questions and feigned ignorance of basic facts.
  • He failed to respond to a contempt motion by the April 30 deadline, leading the court to impose the financial penalty.
  • The court order mandates magistrate judge oversight for all future depositions and Megan’s team is seeking a special master at Lanez’s expense.
  • Milagro Gramz was previously ordered in July to pay $5,000 in legal fees for delaying Megan’s legal team’s access to her social media evidence.
