Fri Jan 10 10:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Megan Thee Stallion Granted Five-Year Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez
**Los Angeles, CA** – Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, extending until January 9, 2030. The order, granted by Judge Richard Bloom on Thursday, follows Lanez’s December 2022 conviction and 10-year prison sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in July 2020.
Megan Thee Stallion, who testified via video call, described experiencing ongoing harassment from Lanez despite his incarceration. She detailed fears of further violence, stating, “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.” Her testimony highlighted Lanez’s alleged use of third-party bloggers to spread defamatory information about her.
The judge’s decision cites Megan Thee Stallion’s successful demonstration of the need for protection, characterizing Lanez as a “violent and dangerous criminal” with a history of concerning behavior. This new order supersedes a previous restraining order that expired in 2023. The rapper’s emotional testimony underscored the ongoing trauma she endures, a sentiment echoed in her recent Prime Video documentary, “Megan Thee Stallion: Her Words.” In the documentary, she expressed her hope for healing after Lanez’s sentencing, only to find that the harassment continues. The five-year restraining order aims to provide Megan Thee Stallion with crucial protection and allow her to move forward.
