AceShowbiz - Megan Thee Stallion apparently had a hard time disclosing her past non-exclusive relationship with Tory Lanez. While giving an emotional testimony, the Hot Girl Meg admitted that hooking up with someone who allegedly shot her left her feeling "embarrassed."
During her post-lunch break appearance at a court in Los Angeles on Tuesday, December 13, the Houston Hottie explained to jurors that the non-exclusive relationship left her feeling "embarrassed," and ultimately, she considered it incidental to the actual shooting that landed her in a hospital.
"This whole story was about who I'm having sex with, and I don't understand why that matters," she said, shutting down defense suggestions that it was her former best friend Kelsey Nicole Harris who shot her in a jealous rage. Megan was adamant Tory was the triggerman.
"Tory came out and told so many different lies, about me not being shot, about him not being the shooter, and making this all about a sex scandal," she testified. The ensuing ordeal led to a barrage of threats and harassment online, she said, and left her feeling like a "sick bird" that other members of her industry sought to avoid.
"Because I was shot, I've been turned into some kind of villain, and he's the victim. This has messed up my whole life," she said, admitting the emotional toll has left her feeling isolated and depressed.
Earlier on Tuesday, Meg emotionally detailed the incident that happened after a pool party at Kylie Jenner's house in July 2020. Meg denied Tory's legal team's claim that she was kicked out of Kylie's party because she was drunk and irate. She testified that she left the bash because her wig was cooking loose and she began to feel uncomfortable.
Then when she exited the venue, Meg heard Tory shout, "Dance b***h." She also claimed she then saw him with the gun pointing at her before getting shot. She confessed she started to go into shock at that point.
After Tory shot her, Megan alleged that he told her, "Don't say anything and I'll give you a million dollars," adding he was already on probation. She added she remembers thinking about how he seemed more concerned about possibly going to jail than shooting her. As for her ex-BFF Kelsey, who's also tested positive for gunshot residue aside from Tory, Meg testified she never saw her with the gun.
Meg also explained why she lied to the police directly after the incident, telling them she stepped on glass, not that she was shot in the foot. "I'm in shock. I'm scared. I hear the gun going off, and I can't believe he's shooting at me," she said, "At the time, we are at the height of police brutality. I felt like if I said this man has just shot me, they might shoot first and ask questions later."
"I don't feel safe with the police officers. In the black community, it's not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers," Megan added. She spoke out with her allegations in an Instagram video weeks later, which led to Los Angeles County prosecutors charging Tory in October that year.
Through tears, Megan described the effect that the whole ordeal has had on her. "I can't even be happy." At her lowest, she thought, "I wish he would have just shot and killed me if I knew I had to go through this torture."
Tory showed up to court on Tuesday with his son, whom he called his "support system." During Meg's testimony, the "Say It" spitter, born Daystar Peterson, reportedly didn't look in her direction.
Tory, who pleaded not guilty, has been charged with discharging a firearm with gross negligence, in addition to an assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying an unregistered firearm in a vehicle charge. If he's convicted on all counts, he'll face a 23-year prison sentence.
It's not yet known whether Tory will take the stand but Meg's former best friend Kelsey is confirmed to testify as a witness for the prosecution. Kris Jenner's boyfriend Cory Gamble and Kylie will also take the stand if subpoenaed.
