<p id=”par-1_61″>Megan Thee Stallion recently <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-believes-trial-witness-mistook-petite-tory-lanez-woman.html/”>won a lawsuit</a> she filed against Texas blogger Milagro Cooper. Megan said that after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-admitted-scared-life-during-tory-lanez-shooting-could-shoot-kill.html/”>Tory Lanez shot her</a> in 2020, Cooper worked with him to conduct an online smear campaign against her. A jury sided with Megan, agreeing that Cooper defamed and harassed the rapper. Still, Cooper said she sees the outcome as a win for her.</p>

<p id=”par-2_34″>Megan filed a lawsuit against Cooper over content she posted after Lanez shot her. She accused Cooper of spreading rumors about her and directing followers to view a fake, sexually explicit video of her. </p>
<p id=”par-3_34″>This month, a jury ruled in Megan’s favor <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/tory-lanez-owes-megan-thee-stallions-lawyers-20000-behavior-during-trial.html/”>and awarded her</a> $75,000. U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga ultimately <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/megan-thee-stallion-won-lawsuit-judge-dismissed-jurys-ruling-milagro-gramz-pay.html/”>reduced this to $59,000</a>. Cooper said she will treat the trial as a learning experience.</p>
<p id=”par-4_28″>“Everything is a learning lesson in life, a regret?” she told <a href=”https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/texas-blogger-milagro-cooper-defamation-megan-thee-stallion-verdict/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>CBS News</a>. “I hate that someone was hurt in the midst of me doing something I love.”</p>

<p id=”par-5_28″>While the jury sided against her, Cooper said she views the outcome as a win. She didn’t have to pay the rapper as much as she might have.</p>
<p id=”par-6_22″>“For the jury to decide that it wasn’t a multimillion dollar settlement or fining – that is a win, absolutely!” she said.</p>
<p id=”par-7_6″>Her lawyers view the situation similarly.</p>
<p id=”par-8_40″>“It’s not easy to take on a giant as Megan Thee Stallion in court,” defense attorney Natacha Bien-Aime said. “We’re very proud of being media defendant’s result that we got in this case. Commentators, bloggers, people online — they’re overlooked.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_15″>Ultimately, though, Cooper noted that she still wishes the jury had ruled in her favor.</p>
