The documents allege that through her attorney, Megan (whose real name is Megan Peet), 29, “improperly decided to use the Los Angeles County Civil Court to file a nonsensical request for a civil injunction against Daystar Peterson, who had zero. direct contact with Ms. Peet.”

“When celebrities with millions of dollars and the support of large corporations disagree with freedom of speech or opinion, they use the justice system as a weapon, not realizing that they are public figures who have voluntarily thrown themselves into the spotlight, unable to handle controversy and publicity. opinions,” the part of the documents says.

Megan’s request alleges that Lanez recruited Cooper to “intimidate, harass and further harass” her.

“Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Peet, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization,” the request stated. The statement said the “continued harassment” had caused Meghan “extreme emotional distress and reputational damage”.

“Mr. Peterson is fully aware of the impact of the psychological warfare he has waged against Ms. Peet, yet he continues to deputize his supporters to attack Ms. Peet’s character and integrity,” Megan alleged.

She is earlier filed suit against Cooper in October for alleged harassment and “spreading falsehoods” on his behalf regarding She and Lanes participated in the 2020 filming.

In 2022 Lanez was convicted three felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, possession of a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and grossly negligent use of a firearm after shooting Megan in the legs during the 2020 incident. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2023, serving time at Tehachapi State Prison in California.

Lanez filed an appeal in February 2024.

Due to these circumstances, a temporary ban is unnecessary, Lanez claims. “He has no firearms and cannot leave his current residence. Therefore, the alleged incident (which occurred 4.5 years ago) no longer constitutes any form of current or future threat to the individual seeking protection,” Lanez’s complaint states.

“There was no direct contact” from Lanez to Megan. Lanez is expected to appear in court on Jan. 9 for a temporary restraining order hearing.
