The NewJudge extends Megan Thee Stallion's protection order against rapper Tory Lanez until 2030.
Musician Megan Thee Stallion obtained a restraining order against imprisoned Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. She was granted a temporary order in November after alleging Lanez was using third parties to continue to harass her online.
Canadian rapper Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan in the feet.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Bloom granted Megan's request for a protective order. The order was granted after a hearing where Megan claimed Lanez was harassing her through surrogates while in prison.
Michael Hayden, Lanez's lawyer, objected to the restraining order request, stating that Lanez's incarceration eliminates any current or future threat to Megan. However, the judge found that Megan's lawyers met the burden of proof to extend the restraining order until Jan. 9, 2030.
In December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies related to the shooting incident. Despite appeals and motions for a new trial, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the assault.
Megan, a Grammy-winning artist, testified during the trial about the events leading to the shooting. Her music career has continued to flourish, with hit singles and critical acclaim.
The ongoing legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez has captivated the music industry. The extension of the restraining order signifies the seriousness of the situation and the impact of the incident on both artists' careers.
