Megan Thee Stallion was granted a five-year civil restraining order against Tory Lanez, who’s currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting her in the feet in July 2020.
Megan filed for a restraining order last month, claiming Lanez had been harassing her while behind bars via third parties. A judge on Thursday confirmed the Grammy-winning hip-hop superstar “sustained burden of proof” to be granted the restraining order against Lanez, according to Variety.
Megan reportedly delivered an emotional testimony recounting the trauma she’s endured since the shooting.
“I’m scared that when he gets out of jail, he’s going to still be upset with me,” she said fighting back tears via video. “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”
“I haven’t been at peace since I was shot,” the 29-year-old Houston native added. “I’m just tired of being harassed.”
Former Daily News L.A. bureau chief Nancy Dillon shared on social media that Judge Richard Bloom cited “several uncontroverted facts” in his decision to grant the motion, including “conduct that culminated in [Tory Lanez] shooting approximately five rounds at petitioner that resulted in injuries to her.”
The restraining order prohibits Lanez from any form of harassment or contact with the “WAP” rapper, Billboard reported.
Judge Bloom emphasized Megan’s credible fear of harm and acknowledged the “significant ripple effect” of the 2020 shooting, which took place in the Hollywood Hills shortly after she and Lanez left a party at Kylie Jenner’s residence.
After a heated argument escalated with Megan exiting the vehicle, Lanez reportedly yelled: “Dance, b—h!” before firing at her feet. His actions served “no lawful purpose,” the judge said.
Following a nine-day trial, Lanez was convicted in December 2022 on three felony counts related to the shooting. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison the following August.
The 32-year-old Canadian rapper has maintained his innocence and said he was “wrongfully convicted.“
