Megan Thee Stallion files for restraining order against Tory Lanez
Published in Entertainment News
Megan Thee Stallion has filed for a restraining order against Tory Lanez.
The 32-year-old Canadian rapper - whose real name is Daystar Peterson - is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting fellow rapper Megan, 29, in the foot in July 2020, and she claims he is still causing her "trauma" from behind bars by allegedly getting third parties to spread malicious allegations about the incident online.
The 'WAP' hitmaker - born Megan Pete - had a protection order in place between 2020 and 2023 and is seeking the restraining order to protect her "wellbeing" as she is worried for her safety when he leaves prison.
The petition filed at Los Angeles Superior Court read: "Even now, while behind bars, Mr. Peterson shows no signs of stopping.
"Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization."
In October, Megan sued Elizabeth Milagro Cooper for harassment after she was allegedly paid by Lanez to harass her online.
The 29-year-old star opened up about the ordeal in the Prime Video documentary 'Megan The Stallion: Her Words' and revealed she had a mental breakdown before he was sentenced.
She said: "I had a real breakdown. I didn't feel like my life had any kind of value. I had to call 911 because I couldn't breathe. I thought I was about to die.
"It was like three days in bed. I just cried every day. I never would have been a suicidal person… but I was feeling like that. I was like, 'I'd rather not live through this than to have to live with this.'"
Megan revealed that she has been left with a phobia of playing live due to the trolling she faced.
She shared: "Ever since being shot, I've had anxiety about performing. I always think somebody's going to do something to me.
"So many guys online say, 'You should have got shot in the head', 'He should've finished the job', 'He should have killed you're a**'.
"I can't separate trolling from real life. Am I safe to perform in front of thousands of people? I don't know who's in this crowd."
