Megan Thee Stallion has filed for a restraining order against Tory Lanez, alleging that he has continued to orchestrate a campaign of harassment against her despite being incarcerated. Lanez, currently serving a 10-year sentence in California for shooting Megan in the feet in 2020, is accused of using third parties to perpetuate psychological abuse, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Megan’s legal filing alleges that Lanez has maintained communication with individuals who spread defamatory claims about her online.
One central figure in these allegations is Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, a blogger Megan previously sued for defamation. Megan claims that recorded prison phone calls reveal a coordinated effort involving Lanez, Cooper, and Lanez’s father. In one call, Lanez’s father allegedly discusses payments to Cooper, suggesting an exchange for her online harassment of Megan.
In her filing, Megan describes the profound impact of the alleged harassment on her mental health, stating that it has led to isolation, deep depression, and a loss of peace. She admits to feeling overwhelmed by the continued attacks but emphasizes that she is not suicidal. In a devastating revelation, Megan shared that she sometimes wishes the shooting incident had ended her life, saying, “I sometimes wish Tory would have shot and killed me, if I would have known I was going to go through this torture.”

The rapper also accuses Lanez of using these false narratives to bolster his ongoing appeals to overturn his conviction. She claims the smear campaign is part of a broader strategy to intimidate, discredit, and humiliate her.
In light of these allegations, Megan is asking the court to issue a restraining order that would bar Lanez from contacting or harassing her, either directly or through intermediaries acting on his behalf. This request highlights the ongoing strain the situation has placed on her life, even after Lanez’s sentencing.
This latest development adds another chapter to the legal saga stemming from the 2020 shooting. Megan has been vocal about the toll the case has taken on her, both professionally and personally, while Lanez has maintained his innocence and continues to fight his conviction.
The court’s decision on Megan’s request for a restraining order could potentially set new legal boundaries for how incarcerated individuals interact with those involved in their cases. For Megan, it represents another step in seeking closure and reclaiming her peace of mind.
