Tory Lanez may be behind bars, but Megan Thee Stallion claims his harassment campaign against her has continued from prison—and she’s now asking a court to intervene once again.

On Tuesday, Megan filed a request for a restraining order, accusing Tory of orchestrating months of psychological abuse through third parties, including bloggers and associates, according to TMZ. Lanez, who is serving a 10-year sentence in California for shooting Megan in the feet in 2020, has allegedly maintained connections to individuals spreading defamatory claims against her.

According to court documents, Megan points to a woman named Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, a blogger Megan previously sued, as a key figure in this ongoing harassment. Megan alleges that prison phone call logs reveal a coordinated effort between Tory, Cooper, and even Tory’s father. Specifically, she claims a recorded conversation shows Tory’s father asking about payments to Cooper, seemingly in exchange for harassing and defaming Megan online.

In her filing, Megan details how this “psychological warfare” has taken a severe toll on her mental health, pushing her into a deep depression. She says the ongoing harassment has isolated her from friends and ruined her peace of mind. While she emphasizes that she is not suicidal, Megan makes a heartbreaking admission, stating that she sometimes wishes Tory “would have shot and killed me, if I would have known I was going to go through this torture.”

Megan also accuses Tory of continuing to make false claims about her in his ongoing efforts to appeal his conviction and get out of prison. She says his actions, whether direct or through proxies, are designed to intimidate and humiliate her.

As a result, Megan is asking the court to issue a restraining order that would prohibit Tory from contacting, harassing, or intimidating her—directly or through third parties acting on his behalf.
