Megan Thee Stallion has petitioned the courts to grant her a restraining order against Tory Lanez, whom she claims is harassing her from behind bars. The latter is currently serving a 10-year stint in prison after he was convicted of shooting the rapper in 2020.
As reported by USA Today, Stallion, real name Megan Pete, rallied for a restraining order against her shooter, real name Daystar Peterson, in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday. AP News stated that the songstress seeks for the judge to circumvent Lanez's attempts at using other people to harass her online, the same way he did when he was free.
Megan Thee Stallion says she wishes Lanez would have ended her life instead of waging "psychological warfare" against her
As reported by AP News, the petition filed in court reads:
“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.”
The petition, a 194-page document, also includes Lanez's prison call logs from the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi as evidence, claiming that he is colluding with others to harass the rapper. Reportedly, the latter's lawyers took time to revert with an email, and the court has scheduled a hearing for January 9.
According to Variety, the filing also describes Lanez 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.”
Megan Thee Stallion's team is contending that Lanez “continues to terrorize Ms. Pete,” and that she is vulnerable to his attacks as the protective order she had against him was only valid from 2020 to 2023.
They also claim that she is “left without protection at a time where she needs it most.” The outlet further reports that without the restraining order, Megan Thee Stallion is under duress about what will happen when the shooter gets out of prison.
As for who is conspiring with Lanez to orchestrate the attacks, Megan's legal counsel has named Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, whom the songstress also sued for harassment just this October. They also claim that Lanez is having his father do the same for him.
Per TMZ, her counsel is allegedly in possession of financial records of payments that Lanez's father made to Cooper several times between October 2020 and March 2022, amounting to $3,000. Furthermore, the outlet mentioned that Megan Thee Stallion's legal representation is accusing Tory of sharing a "conspiratorial relationship" with Cooper.
Lanez is allegedly waging a "psychological warfare" against the rapper, and while she isn't suicidal, she says she wishes Lanez "would have shot and killed me, if I would have known I was going to go through this torture." In her October Prime Video documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: Her Words, she said:
"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. No. I still, every day, have to deal with people mad at me because I said what happened to me.”

Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion at her feet back in December 2022, including three felony counts: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possessing a loaded and unregistered firearm in his vehicle, and using a firearm with gross negligence. He was consequently sentenced to a decade behind bars.
