Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Speaks Out After Megan Thee Stallion Reveals Past Intimacy
3 min readTory Lanez’s Legal Team Reacts to Megan Thee Stallion’s Admission of Past Intimacy: Claims Impact on Credibility.
In the latest development surrounding the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion saga, Ceasar McDowell, CEO of the nonprofit legal group Unite the People, which currently represents Tory Lanez, has publicly addressed Megan Thee Stallion’s surprising revelations from her new documentary. Megan recently disclosed that she misled viewers during a 2022 interview with Gayle King, where she initially denied having any sexual relationship with Lanez. In her Amazon Prime documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, the rapper clarified that she and Lanez had been intimate “once or twice” during nights clouded by alcohol.

This revelation, which comes years after the incident, adds a new layer to the high-profile case that has drawn significant public attention. Megan’s documentary features her raw response to the ongoing questions about her past with Lanez, expressing her frustration about how personal questions during the Gayle King interview veered away from the incident involving Lanez. In an unfiltered manner, Megan admitted, “Yes, I lied to Gayle King. I didn’t even know she was going to ask me that.” She described the encounters with Lanez as brief and casual, attributing them to drunken decisions rather than a serious relationship.
Lanez, who was convicted in December 2022 for assault with a firearm after a shooting incident involving Megan, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The incident, which took place after a party at Kylie Jenner’s house in July 2020, led to the rapper’s conviction on multiple charges, including assault with a semi-automatic firearm. Lanez, however, has maintained his innocence and continues to pursue an appeal, with his team now focusing on Megan’s past statements as evidence of her “unreliability” as a witness.
In response to the revelations, McDowell told TMZ, “The fact that Megan lied about her sexual relationship with Tory obviously makes her an unreliable witness. If someone lies in front of millions of people, how can you trust what they say any other time?” Lanez’s appeal is reportedly focusing on discrepancies in Megan’s earlier statements, which his legal team argues might cast doubt on her credibility during the trial.

The emotional toll on Megan has been severe, and she’s become more vocal about her experiences, especially as they relate to the scrutiny she faces online. Recently, she took legal action against blogger Milagro Gramz, whom she accuses of cyberstalking, misrepresentation, and emotional distress. “I’ve endured countless attacks on my character based on false narratives from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists,” Megan shared, underscoring her frustration with the spread of misinformation. She filed the lawsuit to hold individuals accountable for what she considers defamatory portrayals, including altering facts about her personal life.
In the past, Megan spoke with King about her connection with Lanez, describing him as a close friend who understood her struggles, especially after the loss of her mother. When pressed on the nature of their relationship, Megan denied that it was sexual, stating that they were “just friends.” This past denial, now admitted to be untruthful, adds yet another complex aspect to the public’s understanding of the case.
While the details in Megan’s documentary have added new context, Tory Lanez’s team is eager to leverage them in their ongoing legal battle. As the case continues to unfold, Megan’s decision to take control of her narrative reflects her determination to move forward. However, with Tory Lanez’s legal team actively working on an appeal, the impact of Megan’s statements could play a crucial role in his pursuit of a reduced sentence or retrial.
