Let’s do a little recap on the incident with Tory Lanez shooting of the foot before we get into Megan The Stallion catching heat! The first time Megan Thee Stallion had ever publicly named Tory Lanez—or anyone, for that matter—as her shooter was on August 20, 2020, after she was allegedly shot in the foot during a pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house on July 12, 2020. Megan claimed in an Instagram Live video that Tory Lanez publicist was purposefully trying to spread false information about the shooting, which resulted in her being admitted to the hospital and requiring surgery. In the video, Megan said, “Yes, this n- – – – Tory shot me.” A judge sentenced Lanez to ten years in prison for the shooting on August 8, which is nearly three years to the day since Megan made the allegation.
Although Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was taken into custody for allegedly shooting Megan, whose real name is Megan Pete, he was not detained for carrying a concealed weapon in a car. (Tory was set free with a $35,000 bond.) It was reported that the Los Angeles Police Department was having trouble locating witnesses to assist with their investigation. Some early reports even said that Megan’s injuries resulted from broken glass, not a gunshot chile.
Megan acknowledged in her video that she should have come clean sooner, but she also acknowledged that she didn’t tell the police what had happened because she felt the LAPD was acting in a “aggressive” manner.
Megan remarked, “Let me tell you why they’re saying that. I didn’t get cut by any glass.” “I was afraid when the police arrived because the neighbors had called them. With all of this crap involving the police, My desire was not to die. Since there was a n————— in the car with me and he had a gun, I didn’t want the police to shoot me”.
A significant development in the investigation occurred on October 8, 2020, when Lanez was charged with felony assault and gun offenses by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. Owing to a separate incident with August Alsina, he awaited trial under house arrest starting October 28.
So, what happened exactly ?
In an Instagram Live video, Megan stated that she was in Tory car on July 12, 2020, along with her friend Kelsey and his bodyguard, and they were all fighting. Megan got out of the car while she was in the front seat. She claimed that Tory had shot her through the rear window of the vehicle. It was rumored that Megan hit Tory was false, She added that there was no connection between Tory’s alleged romantic interest in Kylie Jenner and the shooting. Megan initially reported to the police that she had cut her foot on glass, according to TMZ.
Although the press release announcing Tory’s charges from Los Angeles prosecutors lacked specifics, their assessment of the case seemed to support Megan’s allegations.
The trial began on December 5, 2022. Why Did Tory allegedly shoot Meg?
The reason behind Tory allegedly shooting Megan is still a mystery. However, Megan stated in the video that Lanez did it for “no reason.”
What was Tory charged with?
It seems like Tory was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, not for shooting Megan. Tory is charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Prosecutors said that he “personally caused great bodily injury.” Tory could have gotten 22 years in state prison.
Could Megan have gotten in trouble for changing her story?
Megan Thee Stallion was unlikely to face legal trouble for changing her story. Authorities understand that trauma can affect how victims recall and report incidents over time. Robert Shapiro noted that victims often withhold details initially due to fear and later provide more accurate accounts. Megan’s case, involving fear and pressure, exemplifies this.
Has Tory issued an apology or statement? After Megan’s August 20, 2020, live stream, Tory’s lawyer declined to comment. Tory remained silent until September 24, when he tweeted about addressing the situation. Instead, he released the album “DAYSTAR,” where he denied Megan’s claims and questioned her injury, suggesting her team tried to bribe him. He also criticized Kehlani and Jojo for removing his features from their albums. Tory faced backlash for the album’s release, coinciding with the Breonna Taylor case, but he defended the timing as honoring his late mother’s birthday. After felony charges were announced, Tory’s lawyer questioned the severity of Megan’s injury.
It’s unclear how the group found the location of Megan and her team, but the rapper was in London when the incident happened, according to an X formerly known as twitter trending summary. But when she left the place, many crowding fans were waiting and shouting “Free Tory Lanez!”
Megan left escorted by security and holding onto another woman’s arm. In her yellow crop top and shorts, she kept a neutral attitude on her face. But when one of the people recording shouted near her ear, she made a face and placed her hand up to her nose showing she wasn’t bothered at all hunny!
In the month of August, Tory was found guilty of shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Canadian rapper has been moved to a state prison in California. He will continue to serve his 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
