A judge has now sentenced the star, real name Daystar Peterson, to a decade behind bars.

Peterson was due to be sentenced earlier this year, following several delays, but the hearing was pushed back when his attorneys filed a motion for a new trial – a move that the judge denied last month.

‘I’m having a really difficult time sitting up here telling my story and having to sit across [from] people who have made up lies about me and having to [sit] across from Tory,’ she told the court through tears, via People Magazine.

‘I try to be strong. I don’t like to look weak. I don’t want to give them the power that they’ve taken from me for the last three years.

‘Not a day goes by without being called a liar. This whole thing is about who I was having sex with, not who shot me, and I don’t know why.’

‘This situation has been worse for me while he’s more popular – I’ve turned into a type of villain while he’s a hero,’ she continued. ‘I can’t even be happy… I don’t want to talk to friends or family.

‘I don’t want to live. I wish he had just shot and Ki**ed me if I had to go through this torture.’

The jury deliberated for one day before convicting Lanez of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
