Megan Thee Stallion Granted 5-Year Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez

On January 9th, a Los Angeles court has issued Megan Thee Stallion a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez. Currently, Lanez is in prison serving a ten-year sentence in California for shooting and assaulting Megan Thee Stallion, along with other charges. This protective order demands that he maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from her and stop harassing her, an act she alleges he has been doing even while behind bars.

In Los Angeles on the previous day, Judge Richard Bloom granted Megan Thee Stallion’s petition for a restraining order against Tory Lanez. This order remains active until January 9, 2030. It prohibits Lanez from bothering, intimidating, or menacing Megan Thee Stallion in any manner whatsoever.

In August 2023, I found myself facing a 10-year prison term, following my conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion back in 2020. Despite the lifting of any restraining orders, I’ll still be behind bars for quite some time.

According to Megan Thee Stallion’s filing, it was argued that Lanez exhibited violent and threatening behaviors, creating a pattern that justified the need for a civil harassment restraining order to ensure the safety and well-being of Ms. Pete. (via NBC News)

On Thursday, Megan Thee Stallion testified remotely in court. During the hearing, she expressed that she’s experienced anxiety since the shooting event. Furthermore, she asserted that Artist Lanez was employing individuals to bother her persistently.

She expressed concern that once Lanez is freed from prison, his anger towards her will persist and she worries about his potential for violence. “Even while he’s in jail, he continues to unsettle me,” Megan explained. “It feels like he won’t let me have a moment’s peace.” She went on to say that when Lanez is released, she fears the situation may worsen. … She believes he might shoot her again, and this time, it could be fatal.

Lanez’s legal representative contended that the restraining order was unjustified and excessive. Yet, Judge Bloom pointed out that an incident like the shooting carries a lasting impact, which he described as “persisting waves.” Furthermore, Judge Bloom emphasized that Megan Thee Stallion’s testimony underscored the fact that these repercussions were substantial.
