Megan Thee Stallion Granted 5-Year Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez, Who Was Convicted Of Shooting Her In The Foot

Megan Thee Stallion has been granted her five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, which is set to expire on Jan. 9, 2030.

Lanez was sentenced to ten years in prison in December 2022 on three felony accounts after an incident in July 2020 when he shot at the pop star’s feet while she was walking to the car in Hollywood. 

Prior to this filing, Peterson had a three-year restraining order in effect from 2020 to 2023.

In a restraining order filed on December 17, Megan Thee Stallion (born Daystar Peterson) alleged that Lanez has continued to harass her while incarcerated. Her filing described him as a “violent and dangerous criminal” and listed “unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, or stalking” as the reason for the order. Peterson also accused Lanez of using third-party “bloggers” to harass her while he was in prison.

The request further detailed an “established pattern of behavior [demonstrating] the reasons this civil harassment restraining order is necessary to protect Ms. Peterson and her wellbeing.”

On Dec. 24, Lanez fired back his own complaint that Peterson was “weaponizing the justice system” against him. 

His statement, through court documents, stated, “When a celebrity with millions of dollars and backed by large corporation disagrees with free speech or opinions, they weaponize the justice system, failing to understand that they are public figures, who voluntarily catapulted themselves into the limelight, unable to deal with the controversy and public opinions.”

Judge Richard Bloom granted the motion on Thursday, confirming that Peterson “sustained the burden of proof” in her request.

In Thursday’s hearing, Peterson emphasized her fear and was quoted saying, “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”

In Peterson’s documentary Megan Thee Stallion: Her Words, which was released on Amazon Prime in late October, she described the extended trauma she suffered from the incident: “I really thought that once he got sentenced and once he went off to jail, I was going to be a new woman and I thought I was going to be great and I would just go be the Megan Thee Stallion I’ve always wanted to be. No. I still, every day, have to deal with people mad at me because I said what happened to me.”
