Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez continue to deal with a lot of legal fallout from the case of the latter shooting the former back in 2020. In fact, their most recent legal update also concerns her defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz.
According to AllHipHop, a federal judge in Florida ordered Lanez to cover Megan's legal fees for a disastrous deposition he reportedly participated in. During this April 9 meeting for the Gramz defamation case, he allegedly disrespected the Houston femcee's legal counsel by insulting her, interrupting questions, and feigning ignorance of basic facts and definitions.
As such, the sanctions against the Canadian star will cover that first round of questioning. Megan Thee Stallion's legal team asked Tory Lanez to explain why the court shouldn't hold him in contempt for this behavior. He and his legal team didn't respond by the April 30 deadline, which has now led to this sanctions ruling.
Furthermore, Tory's next deposition will also host a magistrate judge to supervise the procedure and ensure civility. Meg's attorneys also want his pockets to pay for a special master to overlook future testimony, but we'll see where the judge falls on that.
For those unaware about the origin of this deposition, Megan Thee Stallion's lawsuit against Milagro Gramz accused the YouTuber of lying about her mental health, substance use, and more. Much of Gramz's commentary circled around the Tory Lanez case. Not only that, but Megan also accused Lanez and his father of assisting her.
While that case seems incomplete, Milagro Gramz did have to cough up cash for Megan Thee Stallion's legal fees due to a delay in her social media vetting. So it's looking like an uphill battle for the defendants here, but anything could change.
We will see whether or not more legal updates and developments change both cases in the near future. Clearly, convictions, sentences, mediations, and civil moves were not enough to settle these matters once and for all. It's been a rollercoaster to follow the whole thing. But hopefully a better era emerges for all sides involved once it's all over.

Brad Paisley has called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding “one of the least pretentious weddings he’s ever seen”.
The country star attended the ceremony alongside his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. They joined around 1,000 guests at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month as the global pop icon married the American football star.
Although the celebration attracted enormous attention and involved tight security and a stunning makeover of the famous arena, Paisley said the occasion never came across as excessive.
“Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see,” Paisley told The Associated Press during an interview. “It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us.”
Paisley, who chose Swift as an opening performer for his tour when she was a teenager in 2007, said he was delighted to be included in what many considered the biggest celebrity wedding of the year.
“They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, ‘If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,’” he revealed.
The musician also explained that guests were not told the wedding’s exact location until the date drew nearer.
“It was really fun to watch the cat and mouse game of, like, ‘We can tell you roughly where it's going to be, we're not gonna say what building... and here's the date. If you're in, we'll tell you more,’” he continued. “I went to my wife, I said, ‘Want to go?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely, we gotta be there!’ So, we did it, it was RSVP yes.”
Other famous attendees included Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh Grant, Haim and Tom Hanks.
