00:00The hottest it girl in female hip-hop.
00:04She was scared.
00:07She'd just gotten shot.
00:09I just want to call my mom and be like, what do I do?
00:12When Megan was shot, she needed support.
00:16So why did the world turn against her?
00:20The aftermath of the shooting was worse than the shooting itself.
00:23Keep dragging it.
00:24There are still many people that don't even believe you were shot.
00:27Drake suggesting she lied.
00:29People like 50 Cent.
00:30She lied.
00:30It just got worse and worse and worse.
00:32People wish death on her.
00:34Did Megan send an innocent man to jail?
00:37Rapper Tory Lanez has been found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
00:40This guy's innocent.
00:42No fingerprints, not one.
00:44There's no proof that Tory Lanez touched that firearm.
00:46People don't know what to believe.
00:48What happened?
00:50Tory's people were putting out a narrative that wasn't true.
00:54New secret emails have been uncovered.
00:56The case was perfectly clear.
00:58Tory and his team were the ones spreading lies.
01:00I've always supported you and I'll always support you.
01:03This is how he got every man in a position of power to take his side.
01:08All of a sudden, she's the villain and he's the victim?
01:12911 emergency, Alberta 394.
01:14Yeah, we just have gunshots next to my house.
01:18Somebody's screaming outside.
01:19Do you hear a male or a female whisper?
01:22Someone might be shot.
01:23He said, dance, and he started shooting.
01:28I was really scared because I had never been shot at before.
01:32I didn't want to move too quick if I take the wrong step.
01:37I don't know if he could shoot me and kill me.
01:42I look down at my feet and I'm like, oh my God, like, I'm really bleeding.
01:49Like, I can't believe he shot me.
01:52The police are definitely very much shoot first, ask questions after.
01:57What happened?
01:59I didn't want to see anybody die.
02:01So I just said, I stepped on glass.
02:12But this would come back to haunt Meg.
02:14In a way she could have never expected.
02:17There was this narrative going around that she didn't get shot.
02:2050 Cent even posted a very nasty meme.
02:24Drake and his new track are suggesting she lied about getting shot by Tory Lanez.
02:29This bitch lied about getting shot, but she's still a stallion.
02:31Meg came forward, hoping to set the record straight, but she wasn't telling the whole truth.
02:37I see a lot of people making up stories.
02:40I was shot in both of my feet and I had to get surgery.
02:45And thank God that the bullets didn't touch bones, they didn't break tendons.
02:53Meg didn't say who shot her, but the media started to piece it together.
02:58Tory Lanez arrested on gun charge ends night out with Meg the stallion.
03:02Tory Lanez allegedly shot Meg in the back of the head.
03:06Tory Lanez allegedly shot Meg in the back of the head.
03:08Tory Lanez allegedly shot Meg in the back of the head.
03:10While she was trying to leave.
03:12We were friends, we hung out like every day.
03:15Live shots.
03:16Shot o'clock, shot o'clock.
03:18To the stallion.
03:19They developed a friendship.
03:21They would hook up here and there.
03:23But we're really close.
03:25Meg protected Tory, but was blindsided when Tory Lanez released his surprise album, Daystar.
03:33Nearly every track on it is about Megan and the incident.
03:37Megan, people trying to frame me for a shoo-in.
03:40He's maniacally chopping up horse legs in what's pretty obvious a reference to Megan.
03:46Tory Lanez tweeted, good got me two best friends and I got caught.
03:52It's sick how you spun it though.
03:53Meg watched as the world ignored her pain and focused on learning the truth
03:58about her relationship with Tory.
04:00What was the nature of your relationship with Tory Lanez?
04:02Because he has led people to believe that it was sexual.
04:07Um, I didn't have a sexual relationship with Tory.
04:12She lying.
04:13You're being dishonest about one thing.
04:15It makes it seem like you're being dishonest about a bunch of other things.
04:18Meg tried to fight back and finally revealed who her shooter was.
04:23Since y'all don't worry about it.
04:26Yes, Tory shot me.
04:28You shot me.
04:29Stop lying.
04:31And y'all on the internet talking about, oh, you ain't get shot.
04:33Oh, we do this.
04:34Oh, free tour.
04:34I didn't have to spare that, but I did.
04:37And I'm done.
04:38Ask them why they not saying nothing.
04:41But then Tory finally did say something.
04:44It's falsified information.
04:46Nobody has ever said she got shot.
04:48Not the police report at this point.
04:50Nothing is saying that she got shot.
04:51She just says the narrative that whatever came out of me being cut by glass is not true.
04:55I was shot in my feet.
04:57Some people are like, hold on.
04:58How you get shot in your foot and it don't hit no bones or tendons?
05:01There's like 30 bones in your feet and like 100 tendons.
05:04She knew she had to do certain sympathetic things, I guess, to push the narrative.
05:09She lost both her parents.
05:12When you lose a parent, you can be highly susceptible to people around you
05:16that are giving you parental guidance and you go with it.
05:20Tory used Meg's biggest heartbreak to make the world doubt her.
05:25I had lost my mom.
05:26My mom is my biggest inspiration.
05:28She was a rapper, right?
05:29Yes.
05:29She had a nine to five job, but on her days off, she'll be at the studio
05:33and she'll take me to the studio thinking I'm in the lobby doing
05:36coloring books and stuff and I'm at the door really listening.
05:39And then one day I just came to her and I was like, I could rap.
05:41She was like, no, you can't.
05:42And I was like, yes, I can.
05:43She was my number one supporter.
05:45She was my manager.
05:47And then it was just over so quick.
05:50She like left instructions within five minutes.
05:55She said don't stop.
05:56So then I just took that literally.
06:00Without her mom's guidance, Meg threw herself into her music.
06:04I wanted to make her proud.
06:06I work through my emotions when my schedule gets really full.
06:09Like I'm probably going through something because I want to keep my mind busy.
06:14Usually I write music and I'm like, OK, I'm sad, but I'll write body.
06:18I'm upset.
06:18OK, I'm writing pretty nasty.
06:20I write songs about how I want to feel.
06:22This very public and dynamic sexual appetite in her performance
06:27and all of that combined to make her someone certainly not vulnerable.
06:32Now we're sitting amongst Jenners and Cardi B.
06:35And so that now put Megan Thee Stallion in a place where she was a megastar.
06:40Biggest, if not the biggest hip hop artist in the world.
06:42And Tory, there is there is no comparison here really as far as relevance.
06:46And when Meg met rapper Tory Lanez, she thought he would understand her pain.
06:50When my mom passed, I was looking for some type of family and his mom passed too.
06:57So when I felt like we were bonding over that,
07:00she lost both her parents and I do sympathize with that.
07:03But Tory dealt with losing his mom differently.
07:06I was a very rebellious child.
07:08Very, very super rebellious.
07:10From age 14, I was just fighting.
07:12Meg never thought Tory would turn his violence on her.
07:16She knows what happened.
07:17I know what happened.
07:18And we know that what you're saying and the alleged things and the alleged accusations
07:23are not true.
07:24Tory Lanez has had hints of violence in the past.
07:26He has pulled up on Travis Scott before.
07:31Attacking reality TV stars.
07:33So this is not something that's out of the normal for Tory Lanez's character.
07:37Megan Thee Stallion accused of faking injury after pictured without foot bandage.
07:42Fans take sides and most of them seem to be defending Tory.
07:46Megan was crucified online.
07:48People wish death on her.
07:49Even though she's the one who's allegedly been shot.
07:53I wish she would have just shot and killed me if I knew I was going to have to go through
07:56this torture.
07:58This has messed up my whole life.
08:00I don't even want to be on this earth no more.
08:03I don't want to be on this earth anymore.
08:05With no one to turn to for guidance, Meg didn't know how to keep going.
08:11I feel crazy.
08:13I'm sad.
08:14I just want to pick up the phone and call my mama and be like, what do I do?
08:19It's too much.
08:21When I would do something good, my mama could say good job.
08:29And she was just so cool and I just trusted her so much and her opinion just made me feel
08:34much and her opinion just meant so much to me.
08:38But now when I do sh**, it's like, I don't know if I'm doing that good of a job.
08:48In her darkest moment, Meg realized what her mom's final message to her really meant.
08:55I really realized that my mama was really driving a car for a long time.
08:59You got to take care of you because who else is going to take care of you?
09:02I know how to keep going because my mama would have wanted me to keep going.
09:06She decided to go up against Tory one last time.
09:10Megan Thee Stallion takes Tory Lanez to court.
09:13Tory Lanez pleaded not guilty to assault and weapons charges related to the shooting.
09:18This is the biggest case since OJ.
09:20What do you say to people that still don't believe that you were actually shot?
09:24I don't think any of this is for them.
09:26Like it's for me.
09:28Like I know this happened to me.
09:30The rapper Megan Thee Stallion arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse this morning
09:34where she testified about what she says happened on the night of July 12th, 2020.
09:42You're at a party at Kylie Jenner's house.
09:45We were just hanging out and I was ready to go.
09:49So you guys end up in a car, you, Tory Lanez, your friend at the time, Kelsey,
09:54and his driver.
09:55There was an argument and you get out of the car.
09:57It's getting worse and I don't want to be in this car no more.
10:00Because I see it's getting crazy.
10:02So I get out the car and it's like everything happens so fast.
10:08And all I hear is this man screaming.
10:10He said, dance, and he started shooting.
10:14I'm bleeding.
10:16I've been shot.
10:17He's apologizing.
10:18He's like, I'm so sorry.
10:21Please don't tell nobody.
10:22I'll give y'all a million dollars if y'all don't say nothing.
10:25And I'm like, what are you talking about?
10:27Like, what are you offering me money right now?
10:30Help me.
10:31If you're sorry, just help me.
10:33Somebody had already called the police and there was like so many of them.
10:36It was an helicopter.
10:37Something bad is about to happen.
10:44The George Floyd incident had just happened.
10:46My first reaction still was to try to save us.
10:51Like, I didn't want to see anybody die.
10:56I was trying to protect all of us.
11:02There is a medical report that says that you have been shot.
11:04To this day, you still have bullet fragments in your body.
11:08There's still bullet fragments in my feet.
11:10But that wasn't the only thing she confessed.
11:14You lied on national TV.
11:16He said, you lied about having an intimate relationship with Tori.
11:19She said, yes.
11:20I was ashamed that someone I shared my body with could cause me so much pain.
11:25But while Meg had been trying to protect Tori,
11:28in court, it was revealed the extreme lengths he went to to cause her pain.
11:33Tori's people were putting out a narrative on social media about what happened that wasn't true.
11:38Tori's team reached out to media,
11:40pretending to be a representative of Meg's record label
11:43in an attempt to quote campaign press, unquote, on his behalf.
11:47For years, my attacker laughed and joked about my trauma.
11:50For years, my attacker peddled false narratives
11:53about what happened on the night of July 12th, 2020.
11:56For years, my attacker tried to leverage social media to take away my power.
12:04And there was one piece of evidence that changed everything.
12:07This is a free call from...
12:10Tori.
12:10An inmate at LAPD jail.
12:13Meg was in the hospital, so I'm outside the hospital.
12:17I know she probably never ever gonna talk to me ever again,
12:20but I just want you to know.
12:22I was just so fucking drunk,
12:24and I didn't even know what the fuck was going on.
12:26I didn't do some shit like that.
12:27I just need to be heard.
12:28What happened, happened already, but I can't take it back.
12:31Tell me, tell me what, um, what hospital she's in.
12:35And after three hours, the jury reached their verdict.
12:39Tori was sentenced to 10 years in prison for firing a gun at Meg.
12:43I'm gonna apologize to Meg this time.
12:45When I heard the phone conversation?
12:47Yeah.
12:48That, that made me feel like a...
12:50Now I know what happened.
12:53This case is becoming a symbol of how our society treats women,
12:57particularly black women and abuse survivors.
13:01I don't want to call myself a victim.
13:03As I reflect on the past three years, I view myself as a survivor.
13:07Not only did I survive being shot by someone I considered to be a close friend,
13:12but I overcame the public humiliation of having my name
13:15and reputation dragged through the mud.
13:18Although Meg had proved to the world that she was a true survivor,
13:22there was still one more thing she needed to face.
13:26I kind of wanted to talk about everything that's been happening to me since my mom passed.
13:29Like, I never really dealt with it.
13:31I go through so much and I feel like I just always keep it inside
13:34and I always just, just keep working through it.
13:37But now I'm kind of feeling like, dang, I have to deal with this.
13:39This is the first time I've, like, written music about how I, like,
13:42actually feel and not how I want to feel.
13:44Meg was able to keep her final promise to her mom.
13:48I always just have to, like, keep her words in the back of my head, like, to keep me going.
13:53Nobody can make me not speak when it's something that I just really feel
13:57in my heart and my gut is right.
13:59Even when it seems like everybody is against what you're saying,
14:03if you really believe in it, then what it...
14:05Meg has now become a powerful symbol for people that are victims of violence
14:09and they're afraid to come forward.
