Milagro Gramz asked the court again to stop Megan Thee Stallion from collecting while claiming the bond demand could wreck her appeal.
Milagro Gramz asked a Miami judge for more help staving off Megan Thee Stallion’s $75,000 judgment while her appeal moves forward.
The latest filing is Gramz’s reply to Megan Thee Stallion’s attempt to collect the money now. It follows Gramz’s first request for a pause, which Megan’s lawyers fought hard for earlier this month.
Gramz now says she has sworn financial proof and cannot post the money needed to delay collection, saying Meg’s “attempts to portray my request as an effort to avoid accountability” were wrong. She then told the judge, “That is not what this motion is,” as she pressed for relief.
She wrote, “I am not asking this Court to erase the judgment. I am not asking this Court to ignore the jury’s verdict.”
In simple terms, Gramz wants the judge to freeze collection while another court reviews the case. Usually, a person who owes a judgment must post cash or other security with the court.
That money protects the winner if the appeal fails and collection becomes harder months later.
Megan’s side says Gramz should not get a break without that protection during the appeal fight, but the blogger says that demand would crush her appeal before the next court even hears it.
Gramz wrote, “I am self-employed,” while explaining that her income comes from subscriptions, audience support and platform money. She said, “I do not own a home,” and told the court she has no large assets. Gramz also wrote, “I do not have liquid funds available to post a full supersedeas bond.”
Gramz added, “I support my household and two minor children,” while describing her family expenses. She said her money problems did not appear only after Megan started pressing for payment.
“My financial hardship is not a new development created for purposes of this motion,” Gramz wrote.
Gramz said she lost several lawyers during the case and relied on unpaid legal help. She also said the case damaged one of her main sources of income during the long fight.
Gramz wrote that “I lost one of my primary sources of income, my contract with Stationhead.” She argued that her inability to post a full bond does not prove she wants to delay.
Megan secured the $75,000 award after a federal judge reinstated her defamation verdict against Gramz in May. Gramz now wants a lower payment, a payment plan or another condition the judge finds fair.
Gramz also denied Megan’s claim that Tory Lanez’s family secretly directed her posts and shaped the judgment fight. She said she covered the case through court records, public reports and her own opinions.
Gramz wrote, “I was not paid by them to attack [Megan Thee Stallion],” while disputing the rapper’s theory of the case. She also added, “I was not commissioned to harass [Megan],” while defending her coverage.
Milagro Gramz also fought back over the deepfake issue that helped shape the case. She wrote, “My position is that I did not create the video,” while denying bad intent.
She also wrote, “I did not know it was fake when I first became aware of it.”
AllHipHop previously reported that Megan’s team won sanctions against MIlagro Gramz over deleted messages and discovery problems. Gramz says she still deserves appellate review before Megan collects.
Gramz wrote, “I am not asking for special treatment,” while asking for review before getting “financially crushed.”
