So… remember when Tory Lanez got locked up for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot back in 2020? Yeah, that whole mess — the trial, the drama, the memes. Well, things have taken a wild turn.
As of this week, Tory’s reps are trying to flip the script entirely. Not only are they still insisting he’s innocent, but now they’re dragging Megan’s former bestie Kelsey Harris back into the spotlight. They’re basically saying: “Y’all got the wrong one.”
Here’s the setup: Tory’s still serving a 10-year sentence for the shooting, but recently, he was stabbed in prison by another inmate. He survived, but his team is saying this isn’t just a random attack — they’re calling it part of a bigger conspiracy. Like, seriously.
At a press conference in Downtown L.A., folks from a criminal justice reform org called Unite The People got on the mic and came with receipts (or at least some new claims). Walter Roberts, one of their legal consultants, says a bodyguard named Bradley James supposedly overheard Kelsey admit to firing the gun. According to him, Kelsey said she shot three times — then Tory tried to stop her, grabbed her arm, and the gun went off two more times. That’s five shots total — which lines up with what a neutral witness named Sean Kelly told the court back in the day: he saw “two women fighting” before the chaos popped off.
Now, why does this matter? Because it supports Tory’s original defense — that he didn’t pull the trigger, and that there was a fight between Megan and Kelsey. And Tory’s team is acting like this new info is the missing puzzle piece they’ve been waiting for.
Gianno Caldwell, a conservative voice who writes for the New York Post, went even further and blamed former L.A. D.A. George Gascón for “railroading” Tory. He says the prosecution exaggerated the charges by throwing in gun enhancements to make Tory look like some kind of villain.
When the Post reached out to Megan, Kelsey, and Gascón for comment? Only Megan’s team responded — and even they wanted more info on this bodyguard and what he supposedly heard.
Meanwhile, Tory’s crew is out here connecting the dots between the stabbing and these new allegations, calling it all part of a setup. Political strategist Diana London even compared Tory’s situation to the Menendez brothers — yeah, the same ones who killed their parents and might actually be getting released. Her point? The justice system gets it wrong a lot, especially when the media has already decided who the villain is.
Look — whether you believe Tory, Megan, Kelsey, or nobody at all — one thing’s clear: this story isn’t over. And with Tory now recovering from a near-fatal prison attack, the conversation around what really happened that night in 2020 just got a whole lot louder.
