What's Happening?
Megan Thee Stallion is requesting a court to mandate that blogger Milagro Gramz post a $75,000 bond to appeal a defamation judgment. The judgment was awarded to Megan after a federal jury sided with her in a case involving defamatory posts related to Tory
Lanez. Gramz has claimed financial inability to pay the judgment, prompting Megan's legal team to argue that this is precisely why a bond should be required. The bond would ensure that Megan receives the payment if the appeal does not overturn the original decision.
