Lawyers Allege Tory Lanez Orchestrates Megan Thee Stallion Harassment via Sued Blogger from Prison

Attorneys representing Megan Thee Stallion claim that rapper Daystar “Tory Lanez” Peterson is orchestrating a harassment campaign against her from prison. They are also suing a woman allegedly paid by Lanez to spread misinformation online.

According to a new court filing, Lanez and his father, Sonstar Peterson, mentioned Milagro Cooper in prison phone calls obtained by Megan’s legal team. These conversations purportedly reveal Lanez’s ongoing role in the harassment campaign, with Cooper allegedly serving as his “mouthpiece.”

ON THE PHONE CALL

“In one phone call, the Petersons confidently asserted that Ms. Pete would be unable to prove that Mr. Peterson paid Defendant for attacking Ms. Pete,” Megan’s lawyers stated in an amended complaint filed Tuesday. The statement refers to Megan by her legal name, Megan Pete.

The updated complaint adds a defamation claim against Cooper, a Houston-based podcaster known as Milagro Gramz. Cooper hosts Mob Radio on YouTube and Stationhead. The new filing retains the original claims, which include promotion of an altered sexual depiction, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and cyberstalking.

Pete has also requested an injunction to prevent Cooper from engaging in stalking behavior. The petition includes a request for any court-mandated protective measures, potentially involving law enforcement.

The amended complaint supersedes a dismissal motion filed by Cooper’s attorneys on November 26. Consequently, U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga, chief judge of the Southern District of Florida, denied the motion on Wednesday. Cooper’s legal team may file a new motion to dismiss based on the updated complaint.

Cooper’s original motion argued that Pete failed to establish a valid claim and accused the lawsuit of attempting to “intimidate and silence” Cooper, infringing on her First Amendment rights. The motion also characterized the lawsuit as a warning to other critics, suggesting that dissenters risk federal legal action.

The lawsuit, first filed on October 30, alleges that Cooper collaborated with Lanez’s attorneys. This included accessing confidential DNA information before it was presented in court and misleading her audience by claiming Lanez’s DNA was not found on the firearm.

“In reality, the DNA results from the firearm were ‘inconclusive,’ meaning that Mr. Peterson could not be excluded or included as one of the possible contributors of the mixed genetic material,” the complaint states.
