Megan Thee Stallion had an emotional day in court on Thursday.

The Grammy-winner testified in her lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz, who is accused of encouraging thousands of her followers on X and Instagram to view deepfake sexually explicit video of her, according to NBC News.

Milagro Gramz is also alleged to be a “mouthpiece,” a “puppet” and a “paid surrogate” for rapper Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting Megan and sentenced to 10 years in prison back in 2023.

On the stand, Megan said through tears, “I feel like ... to this day, I feel a little, like, defeated. Because no matter what, no matter if the video was fake or not ... [Gramz] wanted it to be real."

Megan, whose real name is Megan Pete, accused Gramz, real name Milagro Cooper, in the civil trial of seeking to “denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements about Ms. Pete on her online social media platforms, for no other reason than to bully, harass and punish Ms. Pete for Mr. Peterson’s conviction and to tarnish her reputation, causing emotional distress."

Gramz is not accused of creating the video but is alleged to have “willfully and maliciously promoted” it to her followers.

Megan said, per NBC, "It’s really embarrassing to have to look at what the people don’t know. See, in a position like that, like, I know it’s not me, but to be in front of everybody else and they have to watch it — it’s really embarrassing."

Gramz is also accused of sharing misinformation about Megan’s criminal trial with Tory Lanez, including claims she wasn’t actually shot and implying Megan had a drinking problem.
