Megan Thee Stallion has filed for a restraining order against Tory Lanez, who she claims has been harassing her from prison via social media and using third parties, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
On Tuesday, December 17, Megan Thee Stallion (real name Megan Pete) filed for a restraining order asking a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to stop Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) from orchestrating harassment against her through third parties.
Lanez (32) allegedly continued to harass the 29-year-old singer “even now, while he is behind bars,” the court document states. “Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization,” the filing states.
Lanez was convicted in 2022 of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence after shooting the Grammy winner in the feet in 2020. In August 2023, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Lanez appealed.

Megan’s filing alleges that Lanez recruited blogger Milagro Gramz (real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper) to engage in a “conspiratorial relationship.” In October, Megan filed a lawsuit against Cooper for alleged harassment and “telling falsehoods” regarding the Megan and Lanez 2020 shooting.
On Tuesday, Dec. 10, Megan “amended her complaint” against Cooper adding “additional factual details from Mr. Peterson’s jailhouse call records that shed light on Mr. Peterson’s conspiratorial relationship with Ms. Cooper.”
“In those jailhouse calls, Mr. Peterson’s father — when he thought no one was listening — asked his son about the payments to Ms. Cooper for her harassment of Ms. Pete: ‘How are they ever going to prove something like that?'” Mr. Peterson replied: ‘Exactly so’, the submission states.
The filing continues: “Instead of denying that Ms. Cooper was paid, they question how Ms. Pete discovered their conspiracy.”
Three days later, the filing said Lanez “proved once again that he was working in concert with Ms. Cooper to bully, harass and further victimize Ms. Pete.” Megan claims in court documents that Lanez made a statement with Unite the People, which is “a law firm that Mr. Peterson himself hired to represent Ms. Cooper in an attempt to cover up their conspiracy.”
Cooper’s attorneys had no comment to PEOPLE.

The restraining order added that Laneza’s “continuous harassment” caused Megan “serious emotional distress and reputational damage.”
“MR. Peterson is fully aware of the impact of the psychological warfare he has waged against Ms. Pete, but continues to deputize his supporters to attack Ms. Pete’s character and integrity,” the filing states.
