Houston’s rap queen Megan Thee Stallion isn’t backing down, even after Tory Lanez was sent to prison for shooting her in 2020. In a bold move that’s got everyone talking, Megan has filed a restraining order against Lanez, claiming he’s still harassing her from behind bars. Yes, you read that right—he’s in prison and allegedly causing drama!
According to legal documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on December 17, Megan alleges that Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, has been using third-party surrogates to spread lies about her online. She claims that prison call logs reveal Lanez has been orchestrating a smear campaign, instructing bloggers to push narratives that evidence like the gun and bullet fragments is “missing.”
Megan didn’t hold back in her petition, stating, “Even now, while behind bars, Mr. Peterson shows no signs of stopping.” She revealed that a previous protective order had expired, leaving her unprotected from Lanez’s alleged harassment. Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence, but Megan says the mental toll of his ongoing actions is far from over.
The rapper’s fans, affectionately called the “Hotties,” have rallied behind her, flooding social media with support. One fan tweeted, “Megan is unstoppable. Tory Lanez needs to leave her alone, even from jail!”
This isn’t just about one restraining order; Megan’s move could set a precedent for protecting survivors from harassment—even when their abusers are behind bars. A court hearing is scheduled for January 9, 2025, and all eyes are on this case to see if Megan’s voice will continue to pave the way for justice.
Megan, who has been a champion for women’s empowerment, reflected on her journey in a heartfelt op-ed for Elle. She called her legal victory over Lanez “a win for every woman who has been shamed, dismissed, and blamed for a violent crime committed against her.” Despite the challenges, Megan has risen above the noise and focused on her healing and advocacy.
Her fight resonates far beyond the music world. In places like South Africa, where gender-based violence is a pressing issue, Megan’s courage has inspired countless survivors. Her ability to rise above public scrutiny and trauma showcases the resilience of women worldwide.
While Lanez sits in his cell, facing mounting criticism for his alleged actions, Megan is living proof that no one—not even a convicted abuser—can silence her. As January’s hearing approaches, the Hotties are ready to cheer on their favorite rapper, who continues to prove she’s a force to be reckoned with.
