Houston star Megan Thee Stallion accused TMZ of inaccurate reporting of Tory Lanez shooting her in July 2020. The story has only become more muddy and unclear over time. One thing, however, has stayed consistent: Megan wants no mercy for her alleged shooter.
Megan vs. Tory
‘Say it’ singer Tory Lanez attended a preliminary hearing yesterday (Dec. 14) for his felony assault case. During the hearing, an LAPD detective claimed Tory demanded the “bitch” to “dance,” as he allegedly shot at Meg’s feet. Despite that damning testimony, new witness testimony paints a different picture of what happened that night.
TMZ released a report this morning with new developments in the felony case. An LAPD detective allegedly testified that an unnamed witness claimed Megan and her now former friend Kelsey got into a verbal altercation just moments before guns fired. The same witness claimed the gun flash appeared closer to Kelsey than Tory.
Megan Thee Stallion takes A Stand Against TMZ
While many found the report initriguing, TMZ’s coverage angered Megan. The Hot Girl took to her Twitter account to directly call out the media for gaslighting her.
“Don’t blogs/journalists have to have accurate/credible sources before going with a story? Or is it just like a new I got paid to post this or I heard out from home girl type policy these days,” Megan tweeted in response to TMZ.
The Hot Girl continued, “Like I’ve been SHOT and the focus of some these headlines are dismissing that I was attacked with a WEAPON WHILE I WAS UNARMED and trying to paint it as a cat fight between friends why do I have to relive this with everyone on the internet every day ? And watch y’all gaslight me.”
TMZ updated their story after Megan’s tweets went up. The tabloid added in the article: “Fact is … even if there was a dispute with Kelsey inside the SUV, we know Megan was shot while she was standing outside the vehicle. Megan’s openly said she got out of the car because she didn’t want to argue anymore … which makes the dispute almost irrelevant to the moment the trigger was pulled.”
While TMZ made no official statement, the publication likely clarified to avoid legal or moral consequences.
How it all started
To recap the initial story, in July 2020, Megan, Kelsey, and Tory were riding around Los Angeles after attending a party hosted by Instagram mogul Kylie Jenner. During the car ride, an argument broke out. Megan caught a bullet shortly after that. Tory was jailed that night for the illegal concealment of a weapon. It wasn’t until a month later that Megan accused Tory of the shooting by name. Tory insisted on his innocence through his music and social media ever since.
The LAPD charged Tory with felony assault in Oct. 2020, and he will continue to plead his case on Jan. 13. Undoubtedly, This ordeal has been a long and confusing one. But the truth is slowly coming closer to light.
