As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, TMZ published an exclusive report asserting that Megan Thee Stallion requested a restraining order against Lanez. Furthermore, she reportedly asserted that she’s endured “several months of abuse” from the incarcerated rapper.
“Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization,” her filing reportedly asserted, per Page Six.
More specifically, Megan accused Lanez of using blogger Elizabeth Milagro Cooper and others to “spread defamatory statements about her.”
Per the outlet, Megan would like Lanez to “stop contacting, harassing, or intimidating her — whether directly or through third parties.” Additionally, per Page Six, a court hearing for the restraining order request has been scheduled for January 9, 2025.
