Megan Thee Stallion's defamation lawsuit against social media commentator Milagro Cooper faces a significant challenge as Cooper files an aggressive dismissal motion, claiming the statements in question cannot be considered defamatory by a reasonable person.

The lawsuit, filed in late October, accuses Cooper (known professionally as Milagro Gramz) of conducting a "years-long campaign of harassment" allegedly on behalf of Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Key points from Cooper's dismissal motion:

• Claims the statements are "substantially true" and lack "actual malice"
• Argues the comments are opinions and rhetorical hyperbole
• States Megan Thee Stallion is using legal action to silence opposing viewpoints
• Disputes allegations regarding a deepfake video, claiming Cooper actually warned against it

The amended complaint by Megan Thee Stallion (real name Megan Pete) spans 40 pages and emphasizes a purported connection between Cooper and Lanez, suggesting they have a "vendetta" against her. The lawsuit claims Cooper spreads "vicious and hateful rumors" to over 100,000 social media followers, causing extreme emotional distress.

Cooper's legal team argues that Megan Thee Stallion's lawsuit represents an attempt to "cancel those opinions she disagrees with" rather than addressing the claims directly. The motion particularly challenges the plaintiff's interpretation of events surrounding the Lanez trial and disputes the characterization of Cooper's social media activity.

The case (1:24-cv-24228) awaits the court's decision on the dismissal motion, with Megan Thee Stallion yet to publicly respond to these latest developments.
