Tory Lanez could be found in contempt of court after acting out during a deposition for Megan Thee Stallion‘s defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz.
According to a filing on Wednesday (April 16), Megan’s lawyers recently visited Tory in prison to obtain his deposition ahead of the upcoming civil trial.

During the meeting, however, Lanez — who is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan in 2020 — was “disruptive, inflammatory and inconsistent with the basic norms of civil litigation that even his own counsel […] disavowed it,” the filing says.
It alleges that the Canadian rapper pretended during the deposition that he didn’t know words such as “discuss,” “approve” and “meet,” and aimed “petty, misogynistic jabs” at one of Megan’s lawyers regarding her hair color and appearance.

Because of Lanez’s behavior, the deposition was terminated shortly after it began.
Megan’s legal team are subsequently asking the court to find Tory in contempt and impose “meaningful sanctions” on him — a move that even Tory’s own counsel are not opposing.
Megan Thee Stallion's lawyers tried to take Tory Lanez's deposition in prison, and it didn't go very well.

Megan Thee Stallion sued Milagro Gramz (real name Milagro Elizabeth Cooper) last October for cyberstalking, emotional distress and promoting an “altered sexual depiction” after sharing deepfake pornographic content of her online.
She alleges that Gramz was paid by Tory Lanez to spread lies about her and cast doubt on her credibility in the shooting case.

Megan even cited payments totaling $3,000 from Tory’s father to Gramz when she filed for (and received) a restraining order against the rapper for harassment earlier this year.
Gramz initially responded to the lawsuit by writing on X: “Countersuit gone go crazy.”
She also reacted to being characterized as a “paid surrogate” for Lanez: “I den went from being ignored to an alleged employee, deum y’all taking me too fast.”
Earlier this year, Gramz started a campaign to try and raise $100,000 to fund her defense against Megan, claiming that the courts are being “weaponized” against her to “silence dissent.”

The trial is currently scheduled to start on July 21.
