Tory Lanez has fired back at Megan Thee Stallion for accusing her of “weaponizing the justice system” in a new complaint.
The Canadian music artist, 32, has filed the court documents – obtained by People on Friday — just over a week after the Wanna Be rapper, 29, filed for a temporary restraining order against him on Dec. 17.
Notably, last year in August, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of shooting Megan in the feet during a drunken argument in 2020.
The star – whose full name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete – claimed Tory has ‘coordinated’ with bloggers to spread false lies about her online. But he has since dismissed the harassment allegations as “ridiculous.”
And in a complaint filed on Christmas Eve, he alleged that she “wrongfully decided to use Los Angeles County civil court to file a frivolous request for a civil harassment restraining order against Daystar Peterson, who had no direct has had contact with Mrs. Pete.’
“When celebrities with millions of dollars and backed by big corporations disagree with freedom of speech or opinions, they weaponize the legal system…”

“Because they did not understand that they are public figures, who voluntarily put themselves in the spotlight, unable to deal with the controversy and public opinion,” Lanez further alleged in the documents.
The Hurts Me rapper then cited California Code of Civil Procedure S. 527, which “prohibits courts from issuing restraining orders that restrict constitutionally protected speech.” The statute creates a restraining order.”
Tory added in the complaint: “Rather than refute the commentary or debate the issues raised by Defendant’s comments so that people can make up their own minds, Plaintiff has succumbed to the current trend of destroying the legal system.” to use in an attempt to cancel those opinions with which she disagrees. of.’
He also claimed that the TRO is not necessary, explaining that “he does not own a firearm and cannot leave his current residence.”
“Therefore, the alleged incident (which occurred 4.5 years ago) no longer poses any form of current or future threat to the person seeking protection.”
In the complaint, the music artist claimed that both he and Megan have had “no direct contact of any kind.”
However, Lanez will appear in court next month on January 9 for a hearing on the temporary restraining order, per People.
Tory recently clapped back at Megan’s request for a TRO this month over claims he harassed her from behind bars.

In her filing with a judge, the singer details months of alleged torment by Tory, during which he allegedly “coordinated” with bloggers to spread “lies” about her online.
It was also claimed that Megan’s lawyer had evidence that Tory’s father had made payments to Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, a blogger who sued Megan earlier this year.
In a statement to TMZ last week, Tory’s legal team strongly denied the allegations and told fans to ‘stop believing’ [Megan’s] story.’
They also said that the ‘payments’ had nothing to do with their client and that the truth would eventually come out in court.
They then branded Megan “ridiculous” as they claimed Tory’s legal team filed a petition in October 2024 in an attempt to derail the release of her emotional documentary In Her Words, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on October 31 .
“Megan’s claim that Tory filed legal documents to undermine her new Amazon Prime documentary is ‘ridiculous,'” Tory’s legal team said.
They claimed that the timing of the lawsuit had nothing to do with the release of Megan’s document and that it was instead done to “comply with legal guidelines.”
The legal petition in question alleged that the weapon used in the July 2020 shooting was misplaced by the LAPD, as reported by STAKE.
However, the Los Angeles Attorney General’s office ruled in November that Tory and his legal team had failed to provide evidence to support their claim.

Megan filed her request for a restraining order in Los Angeles on December 17 TMZ.
Tory allegedly used a network of bloggers, including Cooper, to spread damaging lies about her, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
The records show that phone logs from the jail indicate a “coordinated effort” between Tory and Cooper, including a call in which Tory’s father allegedly asked about payments for the harassment campaign.
Megan claims that this brutal ‘psychological warfare’ has taken a serious toll on her mental health, causing her to become depressed and distance herself from her friends.
In a deeply disturbing statement, Megan said she “sometimes wishes Tory would have shot and killed me if I had known I would be subjected to this torture.”
While Tory is appealing his conviction, Megan claims he is spreading falsehoods to reduce his sentence and is now seeking a restraining order to prevent further harassment, either directly or through others.
In October, Megan sued YouTuber and social media personality Milagro Gramz (Cooper) for allegedly acting as a “mouthpiece and puppet” for Tory.
In a statement shared with DailyMail.com, Megan said: ‘It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life.’

“I have suffered numerous attacks on my character based on false stories from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists.”
She continued: ‘It is unacceptable behavior and these individuals must understand that there will be consequences for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.’

In August 2023, Tory was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan in the foot during a drunken argument after a pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house in 2020.

However, his plea did not save him from the ten-year sentence, which was handed down after a dramatic trial that attracted the attention of the hip-hop world.
Megan testified that after a heated argument, she got out of his SUV, at which point Lanez yelled “Dance, b***h” and fired five shots at her feet, leaving her with three bullet fragments that required surgery.
At his sentencing, Lanez admitted that he made “very immature” comments during the ordeal and revealed “secrets that I should not have revealed.”
Despite pleading not guilty, Lanez’s actions and his attempt to silence Megan with a $1 million bribe only added fuel to the fire.
