He was recklessly shooting rounds of an unregistered gun and the bullets grazed her feet. People think that because the bullets “just” grazed her it doesn’t “count” as shooting her, but he definitely was aiming at the ground towards her feet. I’m glad the scum is in jail.

I saw the pictures. She was shot-shot. Gushing blood everywhere. Who in their right mind shoots at somebody's direction in a closed environment?  What for?

[Alex]

Good. Let's hope this can help Megan find peace again.

I don’t like looking at gory pictures so I missed that

People really just be saying anything lol. That's not even shade to you, because I personally know people who've tried to say the same as your friend ("NDAs....top secret....etc"). 

 

All BS. He for sure sure did it.

 

This whole case has been so educational for me in how dumb huge chunks of the GP can be. Like, I've almost felt sheltered to how dumb people can be. At first it shocked me, now I just shake my head in somewhat of a numb-to-it-all state. 

 

Let's scene set. 

 

Tory Lanez is an actual flop. Literally, speaking. He's not a Drake, not a Jay-Z, not a Weeknd, not a huge star that the whole "conspiracy" angle could even easily apply. Hell, even Megan isn't the scale of star that the concept of intervening forces feels plausible.

 

Th evidence against him was overwhelming. Plus it was telling that, with his freedom on the line, he didn't sing like a canary about who shot Megan (the only other options being Kelsey or the bodyguard). Factually she was shot and did not shoot herself.

 

As a POC myself, "street code" doesn't even come into it either when it comes to Tory "possibly" protecting anyone else. What's more, bizarrely, when applicable, it tends to be more of a man protecting man thing than ever taking the L for a woman (in this case, Kelsey). So, the question Tory failed (to this day) to answer was: if you didn't shoot her, tell us who did".

 

Because he did shoot Megan (and there was no way around that), he simply mounted a case that was more about creating reasonable doubt. 

 

There are for sure missing pieces to the story (e.g. dialogue in the car, relationship contexts etc), but nothing that fundamentally changes the fact that...he shot her. 

 

The back-bending people have been doing to argue otherwise or suggest he somehow deserves a lesser sentence has been so disheartening and flat out weird. Once again reminds that patriarchy is real, misogynoir is real, and people's ability to treat celebrity headlines like a movie they are watching (rather than real life) is...real. 

 

Lock him ahp!

Yeah the only other options is Kelsey or the bodyguard so people saying he didn’t do it but they can’t say who as if there’s not only two other options is comical. At the end of the day it was still his unregistered gun AND he used it recklessly. If Kelsey’s bullet (because she used it too) was the bullet that actually hit Meg so be it, but he still would have gotten time for violating his probation.

[Flanders]

Wow, 10 years

[Truth Teller]

Megan took a lot of sh*t from people, it was shocking. So many were not on her side and called her a liar. I fear that now the same people will call her out for being a career destroyer and putting a fellow black man away even though it is clearly a result of his own stupid, STUPID actions. Her own hesitation to instantly go all the way legally is a symptom not only of the reasonable distrust towards the legal system's handling of any non-white parties but also because of the systematic belief that she owed him some sort of protection, almost allegiance. And I am glad she ultimately went against that belief because it is responsible for a lot of abuse towards women. She broke the cycle.

 

I hope she gets to heal and that when she comes back the people are on the right side of history for once

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Im really glad justice was served here. The way he did this and how he treated his victim, Megan, afterwards, was disgusting, so I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for him.

 

His supporters, celebs and non-celebs alike, get some egg on their faces with this verdict.

[Truth Teller]

Also, Iggy Azalea is not the topic here. The fact that this is about Tory getting his verdict, but Iggy's support of him is also getting headlines and attention even though we have no clue what the letter even said is very strange and very misogynistic, the same brand of misogynistic that led to Megan being branded a liar. It should have never been made public that she submitted a letter anyway. She's not the story.

[Fancyhoodlum]

Iggy is not the story here 

[HEAVYONIT]

Wait, Iggy’s career is only officially over NOW because of this? Kinda news to me tbh 

[UnusualBoy]

She's so dumb...

[Young In Love]

i thought she's been officially over since 2015

We’re allowed to criticise a woman who chose to publicly defend a man who recklessly shot a black woman. I understand your point about the focus shifting towards Iggy and the misogynistic connotations that has but she rightfully deserves to be clocked and given this is predominantly a pop-girl forum im not sure why you’re surprised her role in this isn’t a prominent subject of conversation.

yessssssss at 10 years

Keep Iggy out of this. Can't you just discuss/celebrate Tory's sentence without bringing a woman down?

Haven't been following the case, why would he use alcoholism as a defence? wasn't he driving? Didn't this happen in a car? Seems like a bad defence?

I have no idea. The judge was confused too and read them down for not making sense.

Iirc he had a driver. I dont know if the driver was in the car with them when ut went down though 

[Jay L]

Iggy deserves her lashings and will continue to be dragged for supporting Tory and being ignorant af 

[worldwide angel]

praying that he gets curb stomped 

 

such a heinous human being, LOCKED UP

 

 

i hope this is the first of many cases and conversations that finally tackle misinformation and disinformation

[onapearl]

Not people being mad at Iggy being brought up when that was the original topic of this thread that was later updated by the site's most prominent Iggy stan dumping her ass 

 

Also, she deserves to be called out for undermining the suffering of black woman when her entire career is based around her being a white Australian woman performing vocal blackface. Everything Iggy masks herself as being in her performances with a fake Southern AAVE accent is what Megan is authentically. And Megan gets more sh*t and less respect, especially evidenced in this very case, because she actually is a black woman. 

[Mezter]

The amount of support I'm seeing for Tory is ver unsettling but justice was served Very disappointed in Iggy because I felt like people were too hard on her but now I can't even care now

Just sad all around. Even for him tbh, to have so little emotional intelligence, to lack the courage to take responsibility for your mistakes and behaving as such while being a parent. 

 

I hope Megan has a good support system around her. The things I saw about her, the way the sexuaulity of a woman is always brought in question when she's a victim is sad. The discourse around this still managed to let me defeated as a woman.

she's recovered from this but this letter will put the final nail in the coffin

This is literally coming from her biggest(only) stan on here. Of course Iggy is gonna be brought up. It's more surprising THIS is the last Straw for that user. And besides the woman was defending a man who shot a black woman. How is talking about her making her worst mistake yet bringing a woman down???

[ImpressMeMuch]

It's quite pathetic that Iggy is the primary leading subject of this thread though. There's no defending her action, but of course criticizing the woman has to come before the man who committed the crime. 

EDIT: oh it's bc this was retroactively made into a megathread but was originally just about Iggy, that's an odd move

 

EDIT 2: title was updated again <3
