Megan Thee Stallion on Thursday obtained a civil restraining order against Tory Lanez, the rapper who's serving a 10-year prison sentence after shooting her nearly five years ago. The Houston native, 29, was emotional as she testified remotely to Los Angeles Judge Richard Bloom that Lanez, 32, had presided over a 'campaign of harassment' against her during his incorrection, Billboard reported Thursday.
Judge Richard Bloom ruled Lanez must not contact Megan in any form, including through intermediaries, for a five-year period. The Sweetest Pie artist, whose full name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, said she feared that Lanez would seek violent retribution against her after he is released from custody.
'It just seems like I have to relive it every day,' Megan Thee Stallion told the court. '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.'.
The Grammy winner told the court that Lanez, from behind bars, has overseen a 'campaign of harassment' intended to 'terrorize her' and that she is 'just tired of being harassed.'. Megan Thee Stallion, 29, on Thursday obtained a civil restraining order against Tory Lanez. Pictured last year in NYC.
