Megan Thee Stallion’s Legal Battle
Demand for Contempt Ruling Against Tory Lanez
Claims of Disruptive and Inflammatory Behavior in Deposition
Published April 16, 2025 5:01 PM PDT
Megan Thee Stallion is seeking a court ruling to hold Tory Lanez accountable for his purportedly unacceptable actions during a recent deposition. She describes his behavior as “disruptive, inflammatory, and inconsistent with the fundamental standards of civil litigation,” which raises concerns about the integrity of the legal process.
The attorney representing the rapper has formally filed a motion requesting the court to demonstrate why Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, should not be held in contempt in the civil lawsuit Megan initiated against Milagro Cooper. This legal action underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the ongoing tensions between the parties involved.
To clarify, Cooper is a blogger who Megan alleges has leveraged her social media platforms to disseminate defamatory statements, deepfake pornography, and outright falsehoods about [Megan] at the behest of Mr. Peterson. These actions highlight the ongoing issues surrounding misinformation and its impact on public perception.
During Lanez’s deposition, Megan’s attorney claims that he behaved as if he did not grasp the meanings of basic terms such as “discuss” and “approve.” This lack of understanding raises concerns about his willingness to engage in the legal process and the potential ramifications of such behavior on the outcome of the case.
Furthermore, he allegedly insulted the appearance of Megan’s attorney by calling the purported hair dye “distracting” and suggested that she bring a hairbrush the next time they attempted to conduct the deposition. Such remarks not only display a lack of respect but also raise questions about the overall decorum expected in legal proceedings.
The lawsuit also includes an email from the law firm representing Tory Lanez in his criminal trial appeal, which asserts that they do not represent Lanez in the civil matter and would not oppose Megan’s attorneys if they sought the court to hold him in contempt. This situation complicates the legal landscape as it pertains to both Lanez’s criminal and civil issues.

As you may know, Lanez was convicted of negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in 2022. Prosecutors accused him of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot, resulting in a 10-year prison sentence. This conviction adds another layer of complexity to the legal issues surrounding both artists.
Megan secured a restraining order against Tory in early January, explaining to a judge that she sought this protective measure because “I have not been at peace since I [was] shot.” This statement reflects the ongoing emotional toll the situation has taken on her mental health and safety.
We have reached out to Lanez regarding his alleged conduct during the deposition, but thus far, we have not received any response. His silence on the matter raises questions about his stance and the implications for the ongoing legal proceedings.
