EXCLUSIVE: Judge Says Milagro Gramz Must Come Up With Megan Thee Stallion’s Money In Latest Crushing Blow

Milagro Gramz failed to block Megan Thee Stallion from collecting a $75,000 judgment while her appeal moved forward.

Milagro Gramz lost her bid to stop Megan Thee Stallion from collecting while she appeals a $75,000 judgment.

Chief U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga denied Gramz’s request in Miami federal court. Gramz had asked the court to pause enforcement of the judgment and to reduce or waive the bond she was required to post first.

That bond was the real fight.

In simple terms, Gramz needed to secure money with the court before Megan could get blocked from collecting. The local court rule states that the bond is usually set at 110% of the judgment. Since Megan’s judgment is $75,000, Gramz needed to secure $82,500 unless the judge lowered that amount.

Gramz did not tell the court she would never pay the judgment. She argued she could not afford the full bond needed to freeze collection during her appeal.

The judge wrote that Gramz said she “lack[s] the financial ability to post a full supersedeas bond.” Gramz asked the court to “waive, reduce, or otherwise modify” that requirement. The court rejected that request.

Altonaga wrote that Gramz “cannot justify a stay without adequate security,” meaning Megan can keep moving toward collection. The judge said the bond exists to protect Megan if Gramz loses the appeal and the money becomes harder to recover.

Gramz had claimed she works for herself, has an unstable income and supports two minor children. She also said she did not own major assets that could be sold to satisfy the judgment.

But the judge said Gramz did not prove those claims when she first asked for relief.

“She supplies nothing with her Motion to verify these contentions,” Altonaga wrote.

Gramz later filed a sworn statement with her reply, trying to answer Megan’s attack on her financial proof. She said she was self-employed, had lost income and could not post the full bond. The judge refused to consider that statement because Gramz filed it too late.

“Defendant’s declaration, filed contemporaneously with her Reply, will not be considered,” Altonaga wrote.

The judge also said Gramz’s own money claims worked against her request.

“Her asserted lack of assets and inability to post a full bond confirm the very risk that the bond requirement exists to prevent,” the judge ruled. “She offers no concrete proposal or payment
schedule that would sufficiently protect [Megan Thee Stallion]. For these reasons, [Milagro Gramz’] is not entitled to a waiver or modification of the supersedeas bond requirement,” the judge said.

Megan secured the $75,000 judgment after the judge reinstated her defamation verdict against Gramz in May.

AllHipHop previously reported that Megan also won sanctions against Gramz over deleted messages and discovery problems.

Gramz also failed to show the judge that she had a strong chance of winning on appeal. Altonaga said Gramz mainly offered broad disagreement with the verdict and earlier rulings.

The ruling does not end Gramz’s appeal. It means she did not get protection from collection while that appeal moves forward.
