Broke and Broke Again: Milagro Gramz Pleads Broke in Megan Thee Stallion Case

When a jury decides you owe someone $75,000, the reality sets in fast—especially when your income depends on how many people decide to watch your content that month. That’s where Milagro“Gramz”Cooper finds herself right now, fighting a defamation judgment from Megan Thee Stallion and essentially asking a federal judge to pump the brakes on payment.

Cooper’s argument is straightforward: she can’t afford it. According to court documents, the self-employed media commentator and content creator is telling the court that her monthly income fluctuates unpredictably and she doesn’t have the liquid assets to cover the judgment—let alone post a supersedeas bond, which would be required to pause the judgment while she appeals. She’s also supporting two minor children and a household on that unstable income, which compounds the financial squeeze.

Here’s where it gets more complicated. The original lawsuit centered on posts Cooper made related to Tory Lanez and the aftermath of his shooting case. Megan’s legal team won big at trial, and now Cooper wants to delay payment while she challenges the verdict in appeals court, arguing there are substantial legal issues still to be resolved. But Megan’s lawyers aren’t having it—they’ve already opposed the request.

And the $75,000 judgment might not even be the final tab. Under Florida law, Cooper could also be on the hook for Megan’s attorney fees, potentially ballooning the total well beyond the jury award. That’s a sobering reality for someone who says she doesn’t have substantial liquid assets to begin with.

The court now has to decide whether to hit pause on payment or enforce the judgment immediately. It’s a tension that plays out all the time in civil suits: one party says they can’t pay, the other says tough luck—you lost. The judge will have to weigh whether Cooper’s financial circumstances are genuine hardship or strategic delay tactics.
