It isn’t a coincidence that as Megan Thee Stallion was launching her newest enterprise —a swimwear line by way of Walmart —Tory Lanez determined to launch one other misinformation marketing campaign designed to stoke anger in direction of her.
Tory and his legal professionals just lately launched the positioning “36 Hours Later,” which incorporates supposed proof that exonerates him. This alleged new proof consists of bodycam footage and witness statements alleging that Megan’s former pal, Kelsey Harris, was the precise shooter. There may be additionally a video, which has already circulated extensively, that depicts Megan Thee Stallion explaining to cops that she wasn’t shot, however glass-injured.
“I actually can’t go to jail. I can’t have that on my picture…” she is heard saying.
Tory Lanez will be heard in that very same video reassuring her, saying, “I used to be simply making an attempt to assist my girlfriend. Mego don’t fear it’s gonna be okay.”
For some on the web – presumably those that battle with crucial pondering – this website induced them to query whether or not Megan was even shot in any respect. This, regardless of Megan telling us years in the past on the web and later in trial that she initially tried to guard Tory, her shooter, from police, by saying that she wasn’t shot. There may be additionally the photographic proof of her foot being shot that was introduced in courtroom.
BECAUSE HE SHOT HER.
All this website does is repackage the identical claims made a month in the past on the press convention his legal professionals held that generated a number of buzz within the he-man woman-hating corners of the web, however didn’t make any type of noise in a courtroom.
Megan’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, shortly dismissed claims made on the positioning by Tory and his authorized staff.
“Tory Lanez’s staff can’t maintain a narrative straight.” Spiro mentioned. “Final week, they argued that Kelsey Harris shot Megan and now, they’re claiming that Megan solely stepped on glass. They proceed to rehash outdated proof from trial and re-package it as new data to desperately sway public opinion.”
Moreover, Meg’s authorized staff launched a 31-page presentation countering Tory’s claims, stressing how, once more, a lot of this so-called new proof was already introduced at trial.
To remind Tory and the others falling for his lies, they introduced him with the textual content messages by which he apologized to Megan shortly after the capturing, ring digicam audio capturing 5 gun photographs, and DNA proof indicating a 90% chance that the male DNA on the firearm belonged to…Tory Lanez.
BECAUSE HE SHOT HER.
Members of Megan’s authorized staff have even stepped into The Shade Room just lately to be able to additional penetrate the wave of disinformation Tory and his staff have flooded in these areas.
Different journalists who adopted the trial are doing their half to swat away Tory’s lies as effectively.
BECAUSE HE SHOT HER.
I pray their efforts will assist cease a few of the extra embarrassing shows of Tory Lanez from numerous celebrities as of late cease already.
Like Nicci Gilbert from Brownstone, who in a latest interview with BHighTV, expressed remorse for speeding to judgment and mentioned that her preliminary shock over the allegations led her to “soar on” the “disgrace on him bandwagon.”
“I used to be fallacious,” Gilbert mentioned. “I jumped on the bandwagon with out totally understanding the case.”
“I wish to say this. If there was proof that was suppressed. If there was any chance that Tory didn’t do that, that man deserves a retrial,” she added.
If Nicci Gilbert desires to problem public apologies, think about considered one of her former castmates on R&B Divas, not the Canadian menace making an attempt to additional torment the girl he victimized.
Tory Lanez has already been denied a brand new trial, which is probably going why stars comparable to Drake, Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Signal, Kanye West, Amber Rose, Kodak Black, Trippi Redd, amongst others, have been selling the Change.org petition calling on Governor Newsom to pardon him.
It’s not coincidental that the well-known individuals rallying behind a well-known particular person accused of harming a lady are well-known males who’ve been accused of harming girls or are girls recognized for supporting abusive males.
Their lil’ petition has over 382,000 signatures, but when I might set that petition on hearth, I might.
If I might revoke the web standing of every signator, I might.
If anybody can save Megan Thee Stallion from persevering with to be plagued by this exhausting menace who can’t settle for the results of his actions, they need to instantly.
I’m positive some who signed really feel unhealthy that Lanez was just lately stabbed in jail by one other inmate, however even the tales behind that incident are fanciful.
Nothing this man says should be trusted as a result of Tory Lanez is a liar, as confirmed in courtroom, and years earlier than it, on the web.
For all of the noise he seeks to make, Tory Lanez will keep in jail till the tip of his sentence.
That is all nothing greater than a pathetic try to rile up the Negro incenl group to generate a public stress marketing campaign towards Megan Thee Stallion and the authorized system.
My anger is rooted in how profitable it has been regarding Megan.
Megan expressed frustration over the web’s therapy of her on Might 20 in a publish to TikTok.
“At what level are yall gonna cease making me need to re reside being shot BY TORY !?” she requested. “At what level are Tory and yall FANS gonna cease mendacity? Like how a lot is the verify to maintain harassing me? Why is that this taking place EVERY DAY??”
You possibly can see lots of the feedback below the posts supposed to have a good time the launch of her line.
These unfavorable feedback have scaled again a bit as extra of her followers, us Hotties, drown out the hate.
However she shouldn’t need to nonetheless reside like this.
Addressing Tory instantly, Megan concluded her assertion with: “YOU SHOT ME !! Ain’t no new fucking proof yall been saying the identical shit for years. TORY PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE you a fucking demon. I’m off this foolish ass web shit, BYE.”
I’ve written about abusive males in tradition and politics for a very long time now, and I’ve by no means seen so many individuals rally behind such a touch gifted man that’s completed nothing however shoot a lady.
A lot as I do fault misinformation, I principally marvel at how a lot misogyny is on the root of so many selecting willful ignorance and siding with Tory Lanez.
So long as I’ve been writing, I nonetheless battle with the phrases for example simply how miserable I discover this actuality that it doesn’t matter what details are thrown at them, a few of my persons are selecting to facet with an abuser.
