Tory Lanez is tired of sitting for depositions regarding Megan Thee Stallion’s ongoing defamation case involving blogger Milagro Gramz, and is asking a judge to grant him a temporary protective order to avoid having to give any further testimony.
“Daystar Peterson (‘Mr. Peterson’), by counsel, respectfully moves for a Protective Order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c). Mr. Peterson, an incarcerated non-party in Pete v. Cooper, No. 1:24-cv-24228 (S.D. Fla.), faces undue burden, prejudice to his ongoing criminal appeal, and constitutional risks if compelled to provide further deposition testimony. Relief is warranted to ensure compliance with the Federal Rules, to protect non-parties, and to safeguard Mr. Peterson’s rights,” the filing from Lanez’s attorney reads.
“For the foregoing reasons, Mr. Peterson respectfully requests that the Court grant his Motion for Protective Order, barring improper non-party deposition or, alternatively, limiting discovery consistent with the Federal Rules, Ninth Circuit precedent, and constitutional
protections.”
In June, Megan Thee Stallion was granted a gag order against Gramz, real name is Milagro Elizabeth Cooper. The order forced Gramz to stop posting about her amid her lawsuit over the alleged harassment of her. Megan Thee Stallion believes Gramz conspired with Lanez and his family to spread lies about her and harm her reputation. The rapper also accuses Gramz of sharing a deepfake graphic video of her online.
