Last month, Megan Thee Stallion went to court again, this time to file for a new restraining order against Tory Lanez and his family. Tory has been locked up for a year, but he and his family have not stopped waging a completely bonkers campaign against Megan. Megan has the receipts too – the family has paid off bloggers plus various friends and associates to spread defamatory lies about Megan. Megan had enough and she went to court. They gave her a five-year restraining order.
Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against incarcerated rapper Tory Lanez, with an expiration date of Jan. 9, 2030. Megan claims Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) has been harassing her from behind bars as he serves a 10-year sentence stemming from a July 2020 incident where he shot at her feet. Judge Richard Bloom confirmed the order on Thursday, writing that Megan had “sustained burden of proof” to grant the motion.
Megan’s request for a restraining order described Lanez as a “violent and dangerous criminal” with an “established pattern of behavior [demonstrating] the reasons this civil harassment restraining order is necessary to protect Ms. Pete and her wellbeing.” Before this filing, Megan under an order that was only in effect from 2020 through 2023.
Megan’s request for a restraining order also accused Lanez of employing third-party “bloggers” to defame her while he is in prison. According to court reporter Meghann Cuniff, who was present in the Los Angeles courtroom during Thursday’s hearing, Megan testified via video call and described her as being in an emotional state. Cuniff said Megan was fearful of what could happen to her after Lanez’s release. Megan is quoted saying, “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”
Throughout this whole years-long ordeal, I’ve been so proud of Megan for standing up for herself and speaking out, in real time, about what’s being done to her. She’s incredibly brave, and she’s also been open about how much this has cost her emotionally and psychologically. This is not the end of Tory terrorizing her, but this restraining order is really important. I hope Megan and her lawyers do the most to ensure that Tory stays in prison for a long time.
