Megan Thee Stallion has requested a judge to hold Tory Lanez in contempt after his behavior disrupted a deposition in her defamation lawsuit. The incident occurred during a civil case connected to online harassment, where Lanez allegedly mocked Megan's lawyer and delayed the deposition with evasive responses. Lanez's actions were deemed disruptive and inconsistent with standard litigation practices, leading to the deposition being prematurely terminated. Megan's legal team accused Lanez of obstructing the deposition's purpose by pretending not to understand basic terms and making derogatory comments about the attorney's appearance. The ongoing case centers on allegations that Lanez used a blogger to spread false information and harmful content about Megan online. Despite Lanez's criminal appeal attorneys not being involved in the civil case, they confirmed they would not contest the contempt motion. Additionally, Megan was granted a restraining order against Lanez, which she obtained due to alleged harassment following a prior incident involving Lanez in 2020. Megan originally filed the defamation suit in 2024, accusing the blogger of publishing false content on Lanez's instructions. The lawsuit was later revised to include claims that Lanez continued to coordinate attacks against Megan online even after his conviction. The court is yet to decide on potential penalties Lanez may face, which could involve fines or other sanctions.
