“Never Been Violent Towards Women”: Tory Lanez Breaks Silence in Emotional Statement on ‘False’ Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Narrative Amid Appeal

Tory Lanez denies violence and maintains innocence while his legal team files a new appeal citing withheld medical evidence, challenging his 10-year California prison sentence.

  • On breaking his three-year silence, Lanez sat down with NBC News for his first interview since the 2023 verdict while serving a 10-year term for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
  • In 2022, Lanez faced trial on charges tied to a July 2020 shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion, where he declined to testify and says public perception wrongly painted him as a 'monster'.
  • Denying the allegations, Lanez told NBC News he has never been violent toward women and insists he would not shoot one, while his legal team alleges withheld medical records and plans appeals and clemency requests.
  • Spiro, Megan's lawyer, reiterated that Lanez was tried and convicted properly, and Pete's legal team says the ordeal harmed her mental health, rejecting efforts to overturn the verdict.
  • Looking ahead, Lanez says he is focused on healing and accountability, telling NBC News he prefers an in-person exchange over attacking Megan Thee Stallion and urges California courts to review his case for fairness.
