Overview
- A federal judge rejected Megan Thee Stallion’s request for a permanent cyberstalking order against blogger Milagro Cooper.
- The court said the earlier jury verdict did not meet Florida’s cyberstalking test, which requires willful, malicious, repeated conduct with no legitimate purpose.
- The judge found no evidence of physical tracking or direct contact and noted many disputed posts were deleted or no longer accessible.
- The court cited First Amendment concerns, calling Megan’s proposed topic bans and a 500–1,000 foot stay-away order an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech.
- The $75,000 damages award remains, and the judge pointed to money remedies and possible attorney’s fees as deterrents while leaving Cooper liable for any future defamation.
