For over five years now, the careers and lives of Tory Lanez<\/a> and Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> have been inextricably linked, for better or worse. Each fanbase dogs on the other for matters that have nothing to do with his conviction for shooting her in 2020. Now, while the Canadian artist continues his appeal attempts, they both have to continue dealing with a less pressing but nonetheless complex civil matter.<\/p>\n

But it seems like Tory Lanez was not successful in these efforts. According to Billboard,<\/a> Judge Lisette M. Reid shot down this protective order request in a Thursday (October 30) filing. The judge argued that it’s “unclear” how a third deposition would even affect his appeal.<\/p>\n

“The focus of Mr. Peterson\u2019s deposition is his relationship with defendant Cooper, not with plaintiff,” Judge Reid reportedly wrote. “Thus, the court does not see how testimony regarding Mr. Peterson\u2019s communications and relationship with defendant would serve to prejudice his criminal appeal.”<\/p>\n

Also, the judge said Lanez’s necessary and surefire deposition still ensures the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. He can invoke it “on a question-by-question basis, the propriety of which will be decided by the undersigned who will be supervising the deposition.”<\/p>\n
