Jury Weighs Megan Thee Stallion’s Defamation, Deepfake Claims Against Blogger

Jurors are weighing the reach of Florida’s new deepfake law in a case accusing blogger Milagro Cooper of circulating an AI‑altered explicit video.

Overview

  • Deliberations began after closing arguments in Miami federal court, and a verdict could arrive as soon as today.
  • Megan Pete alleges Milagro Cooper, known online as Milagro Gramz, spread false posts and shared a manipulated pornographic video that caused severe distress.
  • Pete testified she lost at least four music deals worth about $1 million each and completed a four‑week therapy program costing $240,000.
  • Jurors are considering whether Cooper qualifies as “media” under Florida law, a determination that could affect liability for online influencers.
  • The defense challenged Pete’s credibility and described Cooper’s work as a new form of journalism, with Tory Lanez’s 2023 conviction for shooting Pete providing background to the dispute.
