Megan Thee Stallion has filed for a restraining order against Tory Lanez, who she claims is harassing her from behind bars as he serves a 10-year sentence stemming from a July 2020 incident where he shot at her feet.
In the substantial 194-page document, lawyers for the rapper (aka Megan Pete) describe Lanez (aka Daystar Peterson) 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.” They claim that from prison, Lanez “continues to terrorize Ms. Pete” and that she lacks any protection against his attacks due to a protective order that was only in effect from 2020 through 2023.
Megan’s legal counsel claims that she is “left without protection at a time where she needs it most.” Without the restraining order, she is worried that she will not have protection when Lanez is released from prison, causing her emotional distress and making her fearful for her life.
The document also accuses Lanez of employing third-party “bloggers” to defame her while he is in prison. It names Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, who Megan sued for harassment in October, as one of Lanez’s proxies and says that he asked his father during prison calls about payments to Cooper for her continued harassment.
Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Dec. 2022 on three felony counts. Megan recounted the trauma of the incident in her Prime Video documentary “Megan Thee Stallion: Her Words,” which released in late October.
“I really thought that once he got sentenced and once he went off to jail, I was going be a new woman and I thought I was going to be great and I could just go be the Megan Thee Stallion I always wanted to be,” she said in the doc. “No. I still, every day, have to deal with people mad at me because I said what happened to me.”
