Megan Thee Stallion Wins Key Victory in Tory Lanez Defamation Lawsuit
A Los Angeles judge has ruled that Megan Thee Stallion can depose Tory Lanez as part of her defamation lawsuit against a prominent YouTuber. This decision is a significant blow to Lanez, who had sought to limit the scope of the deposition.
As previously reported by Billboard, Megan Thee Stallion (real name Megan Pete) is suing Tasha K, a popular YouTuber and gossip blogger, for allegedly making false claims about her personal life. In an unexpected twist, Tory Lanez, who has been embroiled in his own controversy after being charged with shooting Megan Thee Stallion following a 2020 incident, has become entangled in the case.
Lanez had requested that he be exempt from deposition, citing concerns over the potential for the information gathered to be used in other legal proceedings. However, Judge William F. Fahey Jr. rejected this request, stating that Lanez’s involvement in Pete’s lawsuit is “not merely tangential.”
This decision allows Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team to question Tory Lanez further about his alleged connections to Tasha K and any potential knowledge he may have regarding the false claims made against Pete.
The case continues to unfold, with many in the music industry closely following its developments.
