Judge Orders Tory Lanez To Keep His Mouth Shut About Megan thee Stallion Shooting Judge Orders Tory Lanez To Keep His Mouth Shut About Megan thee Stallion Shooting By : AllHipHop Staff/ Categories : News/ February 26, 2021 Tory Lanez lost his attempt to lift a gag order that would have allowed him to speak on his legal case for allegedly shooting Megan thee Stallion. (AllHipHop News) Rapper Tory Lanez has been denied a request to have his gag order relaxed surrounding his involvement in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, is accused of firing a gun at the Savage hitmaker last summer following a dispute as they left a Hollywood Hills party together, resulting in Megan suffering bullet wounds to her feet. He has since pleaded not guilty to felony assault and firearms charges. But with Megan openly calling Lanez out and sharing her side of the story on social media, he filed a motion in January seeking permission to openly respond to the claims. Tory insists the protective order filed against him, which prohibits the Canadian from publicly addressing the situation, was unfair. However, the request was slapped down during a hearing at the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on Thursday (February 25th). We have two high-profile celebrities named as the defendant and the alleged victim in this case, the judge said, noting the last thing anyone wants is for social media remarks to be turned into evidence. Defense attorney Shawn Holley also raised concerns by alleging one of the witnesses to the shooting has been intimidated by the complaining witness, referring to Megan, although she didnt mention the hip-hop sensation by name. The judge branded the claim new issues and halted further discussion at the hearing, suggesting it should be explored as a separate matter. After the court date, Holley issued a statement to the New York Post, which read: We are simply seeking a fair proceeding, which is difficult when (Megan) and her lawyer are able to speak about the evidence in the case, yet we are unable to refute their public statements because of the protective order.
