Megan Thee Stallion’s Victory: What It Means for Domestic Violence Cases.
Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for assaulting her in 2020.
The order, issued by a Los Angeles judge, prohibits Lanez from contacting or approaching Megan until January 9, 2030.
During the court proceedings, Megan testified via video call, expressing her ongoing fear and distress. She stated, “I want my restraining order because I haven’t been at peace since I [was] shot.”
She also accused Lanez of orchestrating harassment campaigns from prison, alleging that he has been using third parties to spread defamatory remarks about her online.
This restraining order follows Megan’s initial filing in December, where she cited ongoing trauma and revictimization due to Lanez’s actions. The previous protective order had expired, prompting the need for renewed legal protection.
Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was convicted in December 2022 for assaulting Megan with a firearm during an incident in July 2020. Despite his conviction, Lanez’s legal team has indicated plans to explore an appeal.
Megan’s testimony and the subsequent restraining order highlight the ongoing challenges she faces in seeking safety and peace following the traumatic event. The court’s decision aims to provide her with a sense of security as she continues her recovery.
