Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, concluding a legal battle that has drawn significant public attention. The court order, effective until January 9, 2030, provides the rapper with legal protection from her former associate.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Megan, whose real name is Megan Pete, sought the restraining order following a contentious period involving Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson. The decision comes as a relief for Megan, 29, who has previously expressed concerns about her safety and mental well-being.
This legal development follows Lanez's high-profile conviction for shooting Megan in the feet during an altercation in July 2020. The incident occurred after a Hollywood party, where tensions escalated between the two artists. Lanez was found guilty on three felony charges in December 2022 and was later sentenced to 10 years in prison. The restraining order further reinforces Megan’s right to move forward without fear or harassment.
The order includes prohibitions on Lanez contacting Megan directly or indirectly, as well as restrictions on his presence at any location where she might be. These measures aim to ensure Megan’s continued safety, especially as she navigates her career in the spotlight.
Megan has been vocal about the emotional toll the ordeal has taken on her. In a previous interview, she emphasized the importance of protecting herself and advocating for other women facing similar challenges. "I refuse to let this define me," she shared.
Fans and fellow artists have rallied behind Megan, applauding her resilience and courage. The restraining order marks a significant step in her journey toward healing and justice, allowing her to focus on her music and personal growth without the looming threat of Lanez's presence.
For Megan Thee Stallion, this court ruling is more than just a legal win; it is a testament to her strength and determination to rise above adversity.
