Megan Thee Stallion Breaks Down in Tears Explaining Tory Shooting

In an exclusive television interview with Gayle King, Megan Thee Stallion broke down in tears explaining the summer 2020 shooting incident in which Tory Lanez allegedly shoots Megan in the foot.

In a snippet of Gayle King’s interview with Megan Thee Stallion, which will premiere on CBS Mornings on Monday (April 25), the Houston rhymer recalled the harrowing incident and claimed that Tory yelled “dance bitch” before allegedly shooting her in the foot.

“It was an argument because I ready to go, and everybody else wasn’t ready to go,” Megan explained at the beginning of the clip. “But that’s like normal friend stuff, we fuss about silly stuff all the time. I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud, like this was one of them times where it’s like it shouldn’t have got this crazy.”

Megan then went on to detail the moment she was shot in the foot.

“So I get out of the car, and everything just happened so fast. All I hear this man screaming is, ‘dance, bitch,’ and he starts shooting, and I’m just like ‘oh my God…’ like he shot a couple of times.”

Megan added that Lanez was standing up over the window shooting at her, and she froze in an attempt to avoid possibly getting fatally shot.

“I didn’t even want to move. I didn’t want to move too quick cause I’m like, ‘oh my God if I take the wrong step, I don’t know if he’ll shoot something that’s super important and I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me,” she said.

“I was really scared ’cause I had never been shot at before,” she added.

Following the incident, Tory, born Daystar Peterson, was charged with one felony count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm—personal use of a firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

Earlier this month, Tory was taken into custody during his preliminary hearing in Los Angeles for violating a discovery protective order and personal contact order. Judge David Herriford, who is presiding over the case, found Tory’s tweets he posted on Twitter and some of his social media posts “seem to be clear messages” aimed at Megan Thee Stallion.

The Canadian rapper-singer was able to pay his $350,000 bail and was subsequently released from jail. A pretrial hearing is set for June 9 and the shooting trial is scheduled for September.
