Overview
- U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid held Lanez in contempt and ordered him to pay $20,000 for obstructing his third jailhouse deposition.
- Lanez refused to answer how he knew Milagro Cooper, whether he communicated with her, or if he sent her Instagram direct messages or texts.
- Judge Reid also found Lanez’s attorney, Crystal Morgan, in contempt and fined her $5,000 for coaching and failing to instruct him to answer.
- The court order recounts Lanez saying, “Whatever the fines are, I’ll pay them. I’m a millionaire. I don’t care,” before leaving the deposition.
- Jury selection began in Miami for Megan’s suit against Cooper, and the defense said Cooper believed an explicit video she shared of Megan was genuine.
