Megan Thee Stallion is opening up in her new documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, where she admits that she lied to CBS’s Gayle King in a 2022 interview about her relationship with rapper Tory Lanez. In the original interview, Megan denied having a sexual relationship with Lanez, but she now says that statement wasn’t true and was a response to being caught off guard by Gayle’s question.
In the documentary, Megan clarifies that she and Lanez had hooked up a few times when she was drunk but emphasizes that their past intimacy does not excuse his alleged actions in the July 2020 incident. Megan maintains that Lanez fired a gun in her direction and wounded her, a claim that was supported by the jury’s guilty verdict, leading to Lanez’s current 10-year sentence for assault with a firearm.
While Megan has clarified her prior statements, she continues to focus on the fact that her relationship with Lanez, regardless of its nature, has no bearing on the harm she suffered. Fans and the public are now reacting to her confession, with many expressing continued support as Megan openly addresses the personal and legal impacts of the incident.
