Tory Lanez Files Protective Order for Megan Thee Stallion's Defamation Lawsuit
He doesn't want to be deposed anymore.
Tory Lanez has filed a protective order to request that he not be subject to any more questioning in Megan Thee Stallion’s defamation lawsuit against Milagro Cooper (also known as Milagro Gramz).
The motion was filed on Sept. 24 in the Central District Court of California. In it, the incarcerated artist alleges that he “faces undue burden, prejudice to his ongoing criminal appeal, and constitutional risks if compelled to provide further deposition testimony."
The singer’s lawyers also note in the motion that both DJ Akademiks and Unite The People CEO Ceasar McDowell didn’t receive the same treatment as he did during their deposition procedures.
Lanez is asking to either have no further depositions in Megan's case; or, barring that, for further depositions to be limited to written questions, with safeguards built in — and that even that written deposition should be delayed until his appeal is completed.

Megan sued Cooper last year, accusing her of promotion of an altered sexual depiction, intentional infliction of emotional distress, cyberstalking, and invasion of privacy.
“It’s time to hold bloggers accountable for years of harassment, cyberbullying, and the publication of misinformation about my personal and professional life,” Megan said in a statement at the time.
