Megan Thee Stallion tells court Tory Lanez continues to harass her from behind bars
LA TimesMegan Thee Stallion has filed for a new restraining order against Tory Lanez, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting her in the feet in 2020. Pete’s filing alleged that he now harasses her with the help of “third party online ‘bloggers,’ who Mr. Peterson employs to spread defamatory statements about Ms. Pete.” That undermines the criminal trial that put Peterson away in the first place and has caused Pete “severe emotional distress,” the filing said. Still, the Grammys’ best new artist for 2021 has been unable to obtain “any formal protection against Mr. Peterson’s attacks,” Pete’s petition said, because the bar for a post-conviction criminal protective order is incredibly high. There would be times that I’d literally be backstage or in my hotel, crying my eyes out, and then I’d have to pull Megan Pete together and be Megan Thee Stallion,” she told the outlet. Similarly, in her recent Prime Video documentary “Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words,” she spoke about experiencing suicidal ideation and seeking mental health support just before the criminal trial that ended with Peterson’s multiple convictions and imprisonment, the Cut reported.
