#ToryLanez has been ordered to cover
#MeganTheeStallion’s legal fees after he was combative and feigned ignorance of basic facts during a videotaped deposition last
#April linked to the “Savage” singer’s defamation and cyberstalking lawsuit against
#YouTube blogger Milagro Gramz.
A federal judge issued the sanctions ruling Friday, saying Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, must pay Megan’s “reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in taking [his] deposition.” The judge further ruled that a court-ordered, follow-up attempt to take Peterson’s deposition would be supervised by a magistrate judge.
At the April 9 deposition, with Peterson appearing by video from prison, the rapper repeatedly interrupted the attorney who was conducting the exam on behalf of the Grammy-winning rapper, born Megan Pete. Peterson accused the lawyer of planning to leak the video “to fake some sort of narrative.” He also deflected questions by asking for the definitions of words including “discuss” and “approve.”
