Megan Thee Stallion Seeks Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez for Alleged Prison Harassment

The rapper claims Lanez is orchestrating a smear campaign from behind bars, accusing him of using bloggers, payments, and false narratives to continue his harassment.

Megan Thee Stallion has requested a restraining order against Tory Lanez for allegedly harassing her while in prison on a 10-year sentence.

In a thread from legal reporter Meghann Cunniff, in addition to a TMZ report, it was detailed that the Texas rapper, real name Megan Pete, alleged that Lanez “continues his campaign of harassment from behind bars” against the 3-time Grammy winner. Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, is accused of conducting defamatory statements about Megan through a chain of bloggers, one of them being Milagro Gramz, whom Megan has previously sued for harassment.

Megan asserts in this restraining order filing that phone call records from Lanez’s prison show a “conspiratorial relationship” between the singer, his father, Sonstar Peterson, and Gramz, born Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, with reported evidence of payments to the blogger. The filing also claims that without the order of protection, Megan "will be left without any protection for when Mr. Peterson is released from prison.” “This possibility alone causes Ms. Pete [to have] severe emotional distress and makes her fearful for her life,” the document continues.

In stressing that Megan has become depressed and estranged from friends due to Lanez’s alleged harassment, she now wants the rapper-singer to cease harassing her both directly and through those closest to her. The allegation concerning Lanez surfaced in an updated complaint connected with Megan's lawsuit against Cooper last week.

“By consciously coordinating with [Megan’s] convicted assaulter simply to amplify [Lanez’s] disproven and baseless theories to help him seek retribution against [Megan]—the true victim of [Lanez’s] criminal acts—Defendant engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct that has caused, and continues to cause, [Megan] severe emotional distress,” reads the filing.

Roughly eight months ahead of receiving his prison sentence, Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan in December 2022. Megan filed a lawsuit against Gramz in November, alleging that the YouTuber contributed to her emotional distress by producing deepfake pornography and cyberstalking.
