Megan Thee Stallion wins restraining order against Tory Lanez after tearful testimony: “He’ll shoot me again and maybe this time I won’t make it”

Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez.The rapper was granted the order after she fought back tears in court via livestream video conference, and said she feared she may be shot again if Lanez was released from prison.Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2022 for an incident that happened in July 2020, when Megan was shot in her feet while leaving a party at Kylie Jenner’s house.In recent months, Megan has alleged that Lanez was harassing her from prison through third-party surrogates.

A petition alleged that prison call logs at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi show that Lanez has been coordinating attacks on her credibility.Speaking in a Los Angeles court now, she argued that she has not “been at peace since I was shot” and is “just tired of being harassed” (via Billboard).She added: “It just seems like I have to relive it every day.

The person who shot me won’t let me forget it. I’m scared that when he gets out of jail he’s going to still be upset with me … I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again and maybe this time I won’t make it.”Judge Richard Bloom granted her a civil restraining order that will bar Lanez from any harassing conduct for the next five years.Passing judgement, he said that Megan had shown a “credible threat of violence” and other potential wrongdoing that “seriously harasses the petitioner and serves no lawful purpose.” The order bars a wide range of conduct, including any contact or harassment through any means.He added: “We have a shooting that took place … and with a violent act like that there’s a ripple effect that continues on.
