Megan Thee Stallion’s recent revelation that she was not truthful about her past relationship with Tory Lanez is stirring new conversations in the legal community, especially among Tory’s supporters and his legal team.
In her Amazon Prime documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, the “Savage” rapper admits to misleading CBS journalist Gayle King during a 2022 interview, where she denied any sexual relationship with Tory Lanez.
Now, she’s come forward, acknowledging that they did have an intimate encounter — but only once or twice while she was under the influence.
Ceasar McDowell, CEO of the nonprofit legal firm Unite the People, which represents Tory Lanez, shared his perspective on the recent confession, telling TMZ that Megan’s dishonesty undermines her credibility.
“If someone lies in front of millions of people, how can you trust what they say any other time?” McDowell questioned, emphasizing the impact of Megan’s prior statements on Tory’s ongoing appeal.
Tory Lanez, who was convicted of assault with a firearm and sentenced to ten years for allegedly firing a gun at Megan in July 2020, is currently appealing his case.
According to sources close to the rapper, his legal team is looking to include Megan’s new admission as part of the appeal, arguing that it casts doubt on her reliability as a witness.
In the documentary, Megan explains that her relationship status shouldn’t factor into the case’s core issue: whether or not Tory fired a gun and injured her. She claims the question from Gayle caught her off guard, and she reacted instinctively with a denial. She insists that regardless of any past intimacy, it doesn’t justify violence against her.
As Tory Lanez serves his sentence, it remains to be seen how Megan’s recent confession may influence the court’s decision on his appeal. This unexpected twist only adds more fuel to the ongoing legal and public relations battle surrounding one of hip-hop’s most controversial cases.
