Megan Thee Stallion sues YouTuber over alleged Tory Lanez lies and deepfake porn causing “intentional infliction of emotional distress”

Megan Thee Stallion has sued a YouTuber who alleging she spread lies about her case with Tory Lanez and their creation of deepfake porn.

As per Billboard, the Texas-born singer and rapper – whose real name is Megan Pete – has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz – real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper – after claiming that she is a “mouthpiece and puppet” for Lanez and accused Cooper of  “churning out falsehoods”.

The suit also claimed that the YouTube personality was carrying out a public campaign to “denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements” about the ‘Savage’ singer and included allegations of “cyberstalking, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.”

Pete’s attorneys at the law firm Quinn Emanuel have alleged that Cooper had intentionally spread lies and misinformation about the case by questioning if the rapper was actually shot in the feet, claiming that Pete had been “caught trying to deceive the courts” and that the weapon used by Lanez during the incident had supposedly gone missing.

The rapper’s lawyers stated that Cooper’s posts had “recklessly disregarded the truth and suggested that the firearm was never presented in court because it had allegedly disappeared. It has not. The firearm remains in the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department,” (per Stereogum).

They also accused Cooper of allegedly sharing a link to an AI-generated deepfake porn video of the ‘WAP’ singer. Though she is not being accused of creating the video, Pete’s lawyers did claim that she had “willfully and maliciously promoted” the video by encouraging her followers to watch it (as per Stereogum). The attorneys also cited a Florida statute that banned “altered sexual depictions” of real people.

Lanez – real name Daystar Peterson – was sentenced to 10 years in prison last August an incident that took place in 2020, when the singer and rapper was shot in both feet by Lanez after attending a party.

The ‘Traphouse’ singer was found guilty of all three charges pegged against him: one count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm; one count of carrying a concealed, loaded, and unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and one charge of discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Pete has opened up about the whole incident in her new documentary  Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, which was released today (October 31) via Amazon Prime Video, a previous press release for the film read: “The documentary will provide viewers with an intimate perspective into Megan’s life and career. From delving into Megan’s upbringing in Texas to chronicling key milestones in her career, the project will shed light on the many facets of the Houston native’s multilayered personality.

“With a mix of rare archival footage and fresh verité video, the documentary will highlight Megan’s rise from viral freestyling phenom to iconic cultural powerhouse. Beyond amplifying the Houston native’s journey to success, the project will also touch on how Megan overcame various personal hurdles to thrive in her professional career.”

Back in April, Pete issued a “final” response over the incident. In her response, she reflected on the “humiliation” she faced from the public when coming forward with the claims.

In other news, Megan Thee Stallion recently released her latest LP ‘Megan: Act II’. In a five-star review of the LP, NME shared: “On ‘Act II’, Megan confirms why she’s “the baddest bitch out right now” once again. Despite all the adversity that has plagued her in recent years, she firmly stands atop the rap world as the princess of rap, gazing down from her pedestal while polishing her tiara – maybe there’s a coronation on the horizon very soon.
