The lawyers want McDowell to sit for a second, court-supervised deposition and cover all the costs himself. The same lawyers recently won sanctions against Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, for his allegedly “disruptive” deposition in the same case. On the homepage for Unite the People’s website, McDowell appears in a photo standing with Peterson’s lawyers. The accompanying statement reads, “Tory Lanez hires Unite the People Inc. to represent him on appeal.” McDowell is the organization’s CEO. McDowell’s conduct during his deposition was utterly disrespectful, uncivil, and antagonistic – deserving this court’s condemnation,” the Thursday filing argues.
