Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawsuit against pro-Tory Lanez blogger Milagro Gramz has moved forward and now has a proposed trial date.
On Monday (November 18), legal affairs reporter Meghann Cuniff obtained documents showing that a date of July 21, 2025 has been set as Milagro finalizes her legal team, and that “the Parties will explore the possibility of a settlement in good faith; however, it is premature to address whether settlement is likely.”

For now, the YouTube personality is represented by one of Tory’s lawyers, Michael Hayden. However, Cuniff notes that he’s not licensed in Florida, where the case is being litigated, so he needs to add local counsel to their team.
Cuniff also revealed that Hayden failed the California State Bar exam eight times after graduating from an online, unaccredited law school – highlighting what may be quite a hindrance in her defense.

We are awaiting the finalization of Milagro’s legal team.
She has one lawyer: Michael Hayden, who also represents Tory Lanez in his appeal.
Hayden has been a licensed lawyer in California since March 2022, but he’s not licensed in Florida, so he’ll need to find local counsel.

As previously reported, Megan Thee Stallion filed a lawsuit against Milagro in October, saying that the blogger’s remarks on social media and elsewhere have had “a negative effect” on her “mental and emotional state.”
“Defendant’s conduct caused, and continues to cause, significant personal and economic harm to [Megan],” it continues. “It injured her reputation and standing as a professional musician. It caused severe mental and emotional harm. It caused economic harm in Plaintiff’s efforts to remove the various ‘bots’ Defendant enlists to attach Plaintiff’s supporters.”

The suit charges Gramz with “promotion of an altered sexual depiction,” for allegedly directing her followers to a deepfake video of Megan having sex; cyberstalking; intentional infliction of emotional distress; and invasion of privacy, false light. The last of these is a type of invasion of privacy where, according to Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute, “a defendant is accused of spreading falsehoods about a plaintiff that would be considered objectionable by the average person.”
The suit talks about Gramz’s “conspiratorial relationship” with Tory Lanez, who shot Megan in July 2020 and is currently serving a 10 year sentence for it.
“Defendant acts as a paid surrogate used to spread [Tory]’s lies about [Megan],” the suit reads. Gramz “acted, and continues to act, on behalf of Daystar Peterson (also known as Tory Lanez) as an online rumor mill churning out falsehoods about [Megan] to her tens of thousands of social media followers.”
Gramz responded to the suit on her X account, writing, “Countersuit gone go crazy.”

Days later, Tory Lanez’s nonprofit legal team, Unite the People, announced they are now representing the blogger and urged any other influencer or personality who receives similar threats or litigation to contact them.
