Megan Thee Stallion got emotional while testifying in her defamation case against blogger Milagro Gramz.

*Trigger warning: This article touches on thoughts of suicide.*

TMZ Hip Hop reports Thee Stallion let the tears flow while speaking to the jury about the PSA she cut about suicide prevention, and revealing how Tory Lanez, the convicted felon who shot her, fed Milagro Gramz lies to spread on social media and her blog.

The celebrity gossip site reports the Hip-Hop superstar tearfully opened up, wanting to take her own life, and spoke on how the entire situation with Lanez and Gramz affected her.

She also touched on the rumors being floated about her, accusing her of sleeping with her manager, Travis Farris, and having to battle them.

Per TMZ Hip Hop:

Megan tearfully told jurors she knows what it feels like to “not want to live anymore” and went into detail about the toll the ordeal with Tory and Milagro has taken on her.

Megan also told jurors about battling rumors — including the one that she was sleeping with her manager, Travis Farris — and feeling tremendous anxiety as a result.

The attorney also questioned Megan about the surgery she underwent the night of the shooting, discussing the bullet fragments removed from her feet … and her feelings about the counternarrative she believes Tory and Milagro were pushing online that she wasn’t shot.

Megan Thee Stallion Talked About Entering A Medical Facility For Treatment

The “Lover Girl” crafter also touched on entering a medical facility for Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which taught her how to help her deal with and store the trauma in her brain.

As previously reported, the treatment isn’t cheap, as it costs Thee Stallion $240,000.

While on the stand, she also spoke about initially not naming Lanez as her shooter, telling the jury she now regrets that decision, explaining she only did it out of fear of the aftermath following the tracking police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man.

Trial is currently ongoing with Gramz taking the stand and Cuniff sharing updates via her X account. You can see more reactions below.

Recent testimony from Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation trial revealed the rapper needed therapy after blogger Milagro Gramz shared a deepfake porn video featuring the rapper.

During day 3 of Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation lawsuit against Milagro Gramz, born Milagro Cooper, Thee Stallion’s friend and manager, Travis Farris, took the stand and testified in support of the rapper. 
During his testimony, Farris revealed that Thee Stallion went to a treatment center that cost $240,000 monthly after the blogger shared a deepfake porn video of Thee Stallion. 
Everyone’s favorite legal reporter, Meghann Cuniff, was at the courthouse in Miami, Florida, and has been sharing updates on X (formerly Twitter). 
“We are finally on the lunch break after testimony from Megan’s friend and manager, Travis Farris, who talked about how social media vitriol hurts Megan. He testified he got her into a treatment center that cost $240,000 a month,” Cuniff tweeted. 
According to celebrity gossip site TMZ, Thee Stallion checked into the treatment center to deal with the emotional distress caused by Gramz sharing the video.
Megan Thee Stallion Lost Out on Brand Opportunities 
In another post, Cuniff shared testimony from Roc Nation Senior VP, Branding & Strategic Partnerships, Daniel Kinney, who revealed that Megan Thee Stallion lost out on multiple brand opportunities, including Call of Duty, due to the emotional distress she was dealing with. 

“Daniel Kinney of Roc Nation testified about brand opportunities for Megan that fell apart: Activision/Call of Duty, Google Pixel, Just Eats Takeaway and U.S. Women’s Soccer Federation. Megan ditched Call of Duty when she learned she would be a shootable character in the game,” Kinney said.

In the suit, Megan Thee Stallion is accusing Gramz of causing her emotional distress by cyberstalking after sharing the deepfake porn video and questioning if Tory Lanez shot the rapper.

Speaking of Lanez, he isn’t getting out of jail anytime soon after his appeal was denied. He was also ordered to pay a $20,000 fine for obstructing the deposition in the Milagro Gramz deposition case.

Tory Lanez is not getting out of jail.

On Wednesday (Nov. 12), the California Court of Appeals affirmed Lanez’s conviction and 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff shared on social media. 
The news is the latest legal setback for Canadian Yosemite Sam and his stans, who thought he had a chance to get out of prison. 

The decision comes after Thee Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, dropped a 31-page report in May, slamming Lanez’s team and his supporters for trying to undermine the conviction.

In a statement shared by Rolling Stone, Spiro said:

Despite Mr. Lanez being convicted at trial by overwhelming evidence (that included his own admission of his guilt), he and his team—flanked by any ignorant person they can find—have pushed whatever misleading narrative they can.

One by one, their misleading statements unravel, and all that is left is the simple truth: he was convicted by overwhelming evidence, and those who seek to traumatize the victim of the crime should be called out as foolish bullies.

The report also shared that Ring camera footage and DNA evidence on the gun indicated it was a 90 percent likelihood that it was a male who fired the weapon.

Tory Lanez Other Ls He Has Suffered In Court

This also follows a previous legal loss the “Say It” crafter endured in court after unsuccessfully trying to avoid testifying in a related civil case.

Lanez was ordered to be deposed again in Megan Thee Stallion’s civil suit against gossip blogger Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper), whom she accused of spreading lies about the shooting and the trial while being paid by the Canadian artist.

Those who support Megan Thee Stallion and have no love for anyone who attacks Black women have been clowning Lanez on social media.

Welp, they can’t blame Roc Nation for this one. You can see more reactions below.

Tory Lanez ain’t got much to do while he serves out his prison sentence. Still, he will have to answer questions again in Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz after flopping in two previous ones.

In response to Judge Lisette M. Reid, on Oct. 30, the court order, the convicted felon’s lawyer argued that the deposition testimony could hurt Lanez’s ongoing appeal of his criminal conviction for shooting Houston Hip-Hop star Megan Thee Stallion, which was struck down after the judge said it was “unclear” how the deposition would hurt his appeal.

“The focus of Mr. Peterson’s deposition is his relationship with defendant Cooper, not with plaintiff,” the judge wrote. “Thus, the court does not see how testimony regarding Mr. Peterson’s communications and relationship with the defendant would serve to prejudice his criminal appeal.”

Reid continued in his court order that Lanez must be deposed and can exercise his Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination, “on a question-by-question basis, the propriety of which will be decided by the undersigned, who will be supervising the deposition.”

Tory Lanez’s Behavior In The First Two Depositions Led To A Third One Being Requested

This latest attempt to depose Lanez follows two previous attempts that were not satisfactory. In an April attempt, Megan’s lawyers said he “feigned ignorance regarding the definition of basic words,” while also harassing one member of The Stallion’s legal team.

Thee Stallion’s lawyers also claimed that Lanez “pretended that the video equipment was not working despite prison staff confirming it was functioning properly.”

Canadian Yosemite Sam’s behavior during the first deposition earned him a contempt citation from the judge, and he had to participate in another one, but this time under the judge’s supervision.

Lanez showed up at the courthouse with a new lawyer, who said his client wouldn’t answer any questions because of his appeal.

The third deposition will be held “at a date agreed upon by all parties,” per Judge Reid’s motion. Reid also says she may make Lanez repay Thee Stallions’ lawyers for wasting their time with his heada** behavior.

As for the actual trial, it is set to begin on Nov. 17. The “Lover Girl” crafter spoke about it last October after going public.

“It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying, and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life,” Thee Stallion said. “I’ve endured countless attacks on my character based on false narratives from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists. It’s unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.”

Lanez has filed a protective order requesting that he not be required to answer any more questions regarding the case, even though the lawsuit alleges that Gramz acted on Lanez’s behalf as part of her “campaign of harassment.”
