Who do you think won the Megan Thee Stallion trial?

The jury found for Megan but only awarded her $75,000.  Meghann Cuniff, who has covered the whole trial, has the scoop here:
A jury in Miami, Florida, on Monday found an online commentator liable for defaming rapper Megan Thee Stallion and intentionally inflicting emotional distress on her by coordinating with the rapper who’s in prison for shooting her five years ago.

Milagro Cooper also was found liable for promoting a digitally altered sexual depiction of Megan.

Jurors awarded Megan $75,000 in damages, though that will drop to $59,000 if U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga agrees with the jury Milagro qualifies as a media defendant and dismisses the defamation claim because Megan’s lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, didn’t notify her before they sued her.

Milagro’s total amount due could increase substantially, however, because the sexual depiction claim allows Megan to recoup attorney fees.

    The attorneys fees alone make this a huge victory for them

    Yeah. For the lawyers that is. For the fees that they charge, you think they could at least get the law right and follow the notice provisions

    I mean the idea that this defendant is ever gonna pay those attorneys fees seems pretty far fetched to me, but presumably Megan wanted to send a signal that nobody should f with her, which I can only imagine worked.
