Saturday, January 11, 2025 - American rapper, Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against Canadian artist Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence for assaulting her back in 2020.
The ruling comes a month after her legal team informed the court about
Lanez's continued "campaign of harassment" from behind bars.
Addressing an LA courtroom via video on Thursday, Megan Thee Stallion
reportedly detailed how she continues to suffer anxiety from the attack which
saw Lanez fire five bullets from a semiautomatic weapon and wound both her
feet, and that this has been made worse by harassment on social media that has
been encouraged by Lanez.
“I haven’t been at peace since I been shot, and I’m just trying to be
un-harassed, not only by the person who shot me, but by the people he’s been
paying to continue to harass me,” the three-time Grammy Award winner shared in
a tearful testimony, according to Rolling Stone’s Nancy Dillon.
“I probably won’t ever have my own peace about the situation, but I just
really want the harassment from the person who shot me to stop.”
“I feel like when he gets out of jail, it’s going to be worse. I feel
like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time, I won’t make it,” she
said, according to Dillon.
“No matter how many people tell me I have to get past it, it just seems
like I have to relive it every day. I’m not good in social situations anymore
because I think everybody hates me at this point because of everything that
he’s done and said about me after the shooting.”
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Richard Bloom have agreed with
Megan’s testimony, stating that “with a violent act like that, there’s a ripple
effect that continues on. Ms. Pete’s testimony is that the ripple effect has
been significant.”
The order states that Lanez must stay at least 100 yards away from
Megan, and refrain from harassing, intimidating or threatening her in any way
until at least January 9, 2030.
