Megan Thee Stallion has sued a YouTuber who alleging she spread lies about her case with Tory Lanez and their creation of deepfake porn.As per Billboard, the Texas-born singer and rapper – whose real name is Megan Pete – has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz – real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper – after claiming that she is a “mouthpiece and puppet” for Lanez and accused Cooper of “churning out falsehoods”.The suit also claimed that the YouTube personality was carrying out a public campaign to “denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements” about the ‘Savage’ singer and included allegations of “cyberstalking, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.”Pete’s attorneys at the law firm Quinn Emanuel have alleged that Cooper had intentionally spread lies and misinformation about the case by questioning if the rapper was actually shot in the feet, claiming that Pete had been “caught trying to deceive the courts” and that the weapon used by Lanez during the incident had supposedly gone missing.The rapper’s lawyers stated that Cooper’s posts had “recklessly disregarded the truth and suggested that the firearm was never presented in court because it had allegedly disappeared.

It has not. The firearm remains in the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department,” (per Stereogum).They also accused Cooper of allegedly sharing a link to an AI-generated deepfake porn video of the ‘WAP’ singer.

Though she is not being accused of creating the video, Pete’s lawyers did claim that she had “willfully and maliciously promoted” the video by encouraging her followers to watch it (as per Stereogum).
