This week Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion's defamation of character and cyber stalking lawsuit against gossip vlogger Milagro Gramz, over her aggressive reporting on Canadian rapper Tory Lanez' felony assault trial for shooting Megan in both feet, kicks off in Miami federal court [click here if you missed that].

Tory, who was supposed to sit for a video deposition, has been held in contempt and ordered to pay $20,000 after refusing to answer questions...

"The three questions Plaintiff’s counsel asked during the deposition were (1) How he first came to know Defendant [Milagro] Cooper; (2) Whether Mr. Peterson communicated with Defendant Cooper; and (3) Whether he sent Ms. Cooper Instagram direct messages or text messages." pic.twitter.com/U8gMr0K1TP

Judge Reid on Lanez's lawyer Crystal Morgan (same lawyer who wrote his doomed-to-failure appellate briefs):

"Her conduct served to reinforce and sought to excuse Mr. Peterson’s contentious behavior rather than ensure compliance with court orders." pic.twitter.com/bXZgAKMEbz

Judge Reid during the second deposition told Lanez "sanctions could range from monetary fines through days in prison under the Court’s contempt authority."

"Mr. Peterson responded that he “got jail for 10 years right now. You can do whatever you’d like to do.”." pic.twitter.com/jchXoUNDzQ
