Meg The Stallion BREAKS Her Silence On How She REALLY FEELS About The Tory Lanez Shooting! - Video

I view myself as a survivor.”

So declares Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion in a new essay for ELLE magazine, nearly four months after a jury found Tory Lanez guilty of shooting her in July 2020. The rapper, whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, has remained silent on social media in the months after the high-profile assault trial.

Now, she’s speaking out about the verdict and social media attacks from the public, celebrities and gossip bloggers. Pete wrote that she initially thought people would believe her story of domestic violence, but years of taunting and the public casting doubt took a toll on her.

“The truth is that I started falling into a depression,” Pete wrote. “ I didn’t feel like making music. I was in such a low place that I didn’t even know what I wanted to rap about. I wondered if people even cared anymore. There would be times that I’d literally be backstage or in my hotel, crying my eyes out, and then I’d have to pull Megan Pete together and be Megan Thee Stallion.”

Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was convicted in December of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. The charges stemmed from a July 2020 altercation between Daystar, Peterson and Pete’s former friend Kelsey Harris after a party in Los Angeles.

In the years after the shooting, all three warred with words on social media as the public speculated about what happened that night. Some called Pete a liar and implied that she may have been the attacker, but her advocates said Peterson and those who supported him were perpetuating “misogynoir,” a specific form of misogyny against Black women where racism and sexism intersect.
