Reid held Lanez in contempt after he repeatedly refused to cooperate during the deposition process. The judge imposed a $20,000 fine on Lanez and an additional $5,000 penalty on Morgan for their noncompliance.<\/p>\n<p>According to court documents, Lanez used \u201cmultiple expletives\u201d toward Megan\u2019s legal team and failed to answer any questions during the deposition. When warned about potential financial penalties, Lanez reportedly dismissed them, citing his millionaire status.<\/p>\n<p>The deposition was part of Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s defamation lawsuit against YouTube personality Milagro Gramz. Megan alleged that Gramz used her platform to harass and discredit her after she testified against Lanez in his 2020 shooting conviction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d## class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d## class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Megan Thee Stallion wins defamation trial against blogger\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oKleF_Xfinw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d##><br \/>\n<\/d##><\/figure>\n<p>The defamation case concluded with mixed results for both parties.
