Rapper Megan Thee Stallion is in court once again on Friday as final arguments are expected to be presented in her civil lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. <\/p>\n

As she walked into court, she told NBC6’s Julia Bagg: “I just want to get it over with.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Grammy-winning artist took the witness stand<\/a> in her civil lawsuit against Gramz, who is accused of being a \u201cmouthpiece,\u201d \u201cpuppet\u201d and \u201cpaid surrogate\u201d for rapper Tory Lanez during and after his high-profile criminal trial.<\/p>\n

She told the court she feels “defeated” and struggles with mental health issues because of sexually explicit deepfake footage that Gramz has allegedly encouraged followers to watch.<\/p>\n

Gramz is accused of encouraging her thousands of followers on X and Instagram to view an unauthorized, sexually explicit deepfake video of Megan that\u2019d been\u00a0circulating on social media.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like … to this day, I feel a little like defeated,” the artist testified, often sobbing while talking about the AI porn bearing her image. “Because no matter what, no matter if the video was fake or not … (Gramz) wanted it to be real.”<\/p>\n

Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot after the pair left a Los Angeles party in 2020.\u00a0He’s been sentenced to 10 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Megan, whose real name is Megan Pete, accused the defendant in this civil trial\u00a0of seeking to \u201cdenigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements about Ms. Pete on her online social media platforms, for no other reason than to bully, harass and punish Ms. Pete for Mr. Peterson\u2019s conviction and to tarnish her reputation, causing emotional distress.”<\/p>\n

The plaintiff said falsehoods allegedly being spread by the defendant are taking a toll.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s really embarrassing to have to look at what the people don\u2019t know,” Megan said. “See, in a position like that like I know it\u2019s not me, but to be in front of everybody else and they have to watch it \u2014 it\u2019s really embarrassing.”<\/p>\n

Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, was also accused of sharing false misinformation about the criminal trial, including claims that the victim hadn’t really been shot and that she had a drinking problem.<\/p>\n

The artist’s lawsuit does not accuse Gramz of creating or posting the video, but suggests she \u201cwillfully and maliciously promoted\u201d it to her followers by pointing them to a post that had directly shared it.<\/p>\n
