Tory Lanez’s legal team has responded to Megan Thee Stallion’s restraining order request, denying allegations of harassment and addressing claims of financial transactions and a supposed partnership with blogger Milagro Gramz.

Megan, born Megan Pete, filed the petition on December 17, alleging that Lanez has been orchestrating harassment from prison through third parties and social media.

In a statement issued by Ceasar McDowell, CEO of Unite the People, Inc., Lanez’s team called the allegations baseless. “The ridiculous claim that a writ of habeas corpus was filed prior to the release of Ms. Pete’s documentary in an attempt to undermine her work is ludicrous,” McDowell said. He explained that the timing of the filing was dictated by court-imposed deadlines, not an effort to disrupt Megan’s projects. “Are the accusers now suggesting that the courts are trying to disrupt Ms. Pete’s documentary?” he asked.

The statement also addressed allegations that $3,000 Zelle payments were made to blogger Milagro Gramz as part of a conspiracy to harass Megan. McDowell emphasized that these claims will not hold up in court. “The legal process will prove 100% without a shadow of a doubt that they had nothing to do with Mr. Daystar Peterson or his case at all,” McDowell wrote, adding that funds sent by Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, will be fully accounted for.

Megan’s lawyers also obtained Zelle records that show Lanez’s father, Sonstar Carlisle John Peterson, paid Milagro $3,000 between Oct. 28, 2020 and March 3, 2022, in six payments between $200 and $1,000. pic.twitter.com/2mBjsmnFcu

Megan’s filing accuses Lanez of working with Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Elizabeth Cooper, to spread falsehoods and engage in harassment. Megan previously filed a lawsuit against Gramz in October, alleging harassment and misinformation about the 2020 shooting incident. Court documents now include Lanez’s prison call logs, where his father allegedly discussed payments to Gramz, with one call capturing Sonstar Peterson saying, “How are they ever going to prove something like that?” to which Lanez reportedly responded, “Exactly.”

McDowell also questioned Megan’s credibility, citing inconsistencies in her past public statements. “When someone has openly admitted to lying on major public platforms, at what point do we, as a society, stop believing the narrative they are pushing?” he said.

Lanez, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence following his 2022 conviction in the 2020 shooting of Megan, has appealed the verdict. His legal team maintains that they are confident in the case and trust the judicial process. “We remain 100% confident that the truth will be fully examined and proven through the legal process,” McDowell concluded.
