In a notable legal challenge against AI-driven harassment, rapper Megan Thee Stallion successfully sued a social media influencer for defamation involving the promotion of deepfake content. The case highlights the growing intersection of celebrity rights, platform accountability, and the legal repercussions of nonconsensual synthetic media.
What happened
Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, who operated various social media accounts under aliases such as @MobzWorld and @milagrogramz, engaged in a campaign of fake posts targeting Megan Thee Stallion. According to a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Cooper was on the payroll of Tory Lanez, who had previously been found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Central to the litigation was Cooper’s active promotion of a deepfake video depicting the artist. The complaint alleged that Cooper not only shared the altered sexual depiction on X but also urged her followers to view it. In 2025, a jury found Cooper liable for defamation. The court awarded Megan Thee Stallion $75,000 in total damages, of which $50,000 was specifically attributed to the "promotion of an altered sexual depiction." Following the verdict, the @MobzWorld account was suspended by X, and Cooper has since filed a notice of appeal.
