Megan Thee Stallionhad some choice words forTory Lanezat his sentencing.
Although Megan did not appear at the hearing for the Canadian rapper’s sentencing for shooting and injuring her in July 2020,Rolling Stonereported that prosecutors read a pre-written statement on Monday.
Of Lanez, who wassentenced to 10 years in prisonon Tuesday, Megan wrote that he should be held fully accountable for his actions, including further traumatizing her following the incident.
“He paid bloggers to disseminate false information, he treated my trauma like a joke when I could’ve been dead,” she continued. “He blamed the system, he blamed the press, and as of late he is using his childhood trauma to justify his actions.”
She added, “Slowly but surely, I’m healing. But I’ll never be the same. His crime warrants the full weight of the law.”
Back in April, Megan alsospoke out about Lanez’s conviction for the first timein a personal essay withELLEfor the May 2023 issue.
She added of the verdict, “It was more than just vindication for me, it was a victory for every woman who has ever been shamed, dismissed, and blamed for a violent crime committed against them.”
Lanez, 31, has been serving time in jail since the guilty verdict late last year. He faced up to 22 years and eight months in prison and deportation.
In December 2022, the “Say It” rapperwas convicted on all three chargesagainst him — assault with a semiautomatic firearm; carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
After the motion was denied, Lanez reportedly told Herriford, “Your honor, please don’t ruin my life.”
