On Tuesday, heartbreaking testimony from Megan Thee Stallion continued well into the afternoon in the trial against Tory Lanez (Daystar Peterson), with the Grammy winner admitting to experiencing suicidal ideations in the wake of the shooting at the center of the proceedings.
“I can’t even be happy,” she told the court. “I can’t hold conversations with people for a long time. I don’t feel like I want to be on this earth. I wish he would have just shot and killed me, if I knew I would have to go through this torture.”
Megan’s testimony began in the morning and laid bare her account of the events of July 12, 2020 and their fallout. On the stand, Megan recounted attending a small pool party at Kylie Jenner’s home with Lanez and her best friend and former assistant, Kelsey Harris. According to Megan, a disagreement broke out when she sought to leave the party and Lanez wanted to stay. “My hair [wig] was starting to come off and I wanted to go,” she explained, noting that Lanez “had an attitude because he wasn’t ready to leave the party.” Ultimately, Megan, Lanez, Harris and a security guard left together. Once inside the vehicle, the fight escalated when Lanez told Megan to “stop lying” to Harris about their relationship. Megan and Lanez had bonded over the loss of their mothers and were occasionally sexually intimate. Harris, who Megan noted had a crush on Lanez, had no knowledge of their sexual relationship, as Megan “didn’t want her to know I had dealt with him in any kind of way.” The already terse exchange worsened when Lanez allegedly began referring to the women as “bitches and hoes,” and the two started to hurl insults about each other’s careers.
“Tory was basically telling me I wasn’t shit, and I said, ‘Actually, you ain’t shit. This is where you at in your career. This is where you at with your music.’ And I feel like that really rubbed him the wrong way. He kept yelling and cursing,” she testified.
As the car approached her home, a frustrated Megan exited the vehicle—still wearing only her swimsuit—and the next thing she recalled was seeing Lanez firing bullets at her from an open window of the car. “I started walking away and I hear Tory yell, ‘Dance, bitch!’” she recounted through tears, adding that she saw Lanez pointing the gun at her. “I froze. I just felt shock. I felt hurt. I looked down at my feet and I see all of this blood.”
