The legal team for Megan Thee Stallion clapped back at Tory Lanez and his supporters by filing a blistering 31-page document that sounded more like a courtroom mic drop than a legal memo. TP’s platter of poop picks apart what Megan’s lawyers describe as an ever-rising pile of “false narratives” and “unsworn rumors presented as fact,” all designed to slime the waters surrounding Lanez’s 2020 conviction for blasting the Grammy-winning rapper.
And at the center of that response is a key point reminder: Tory Lanez was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. His latest P.R. push, with talk of new exonerating evidence, doesn’t wash. Or, as the rebuttal explains: “There are no new Ring camera video.”

The supposed bombshell surveillance clip that Lanez supporters have clung to? And, according to Megan’s team, it’s old news. The footage from The Ring was played in its entirety at the trial and for jurors. It doesn’t exonerate Lanez; it captures the sound of five gunshots, the shots that resulted in Megan being taken to a hospital and Lanez being charged and convicted.
Megan’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, was leading the charge and mincing no words. “Even though Mr. Lanez has been charged, with overwhelming evidence (including the victim’s admission of what happened to her) on the record as charged in the complaint, and with other statements showing clear guilt, he has expressed nothing but disdain for the court process that ultimately will decide whether he goes to jail,” he said.
And then the coup de grace: “One by one their misleading statements crumble under the weight of the outright truth: he was convicted based on vast evidence, and those who designed to relive the nightmare for its victim are nobody but fools and bullies.”
That alone speaks to the broader frustration so many have felt with the repeated efforts to delegitimize not only the trial but also Megan herself, a victim of gun violence whose public life continues to be buffeted by claims, harassment, and social media gaslighting.
The forensic evaluation mentioned in the rebuttal, by the way, is not uninteresting either. Only female DNA was found on that firearm evidence that Lanez’s team was using in an attempt to call into question his guilt. But attorneys for Megan are calling that pure misinformation. The report stated there was a 90 percent likelihood that the DNA came from a man, not a woman, consistent with the prosecution’s story and counter to Lanez’s claim.
This latest legal salvo sends a crystal-clear message: Megan and her team are no longer going to remain silent while misinformation is proliferated. The 31-page document is more than a legal response; it is a defense of truth, of fact, and of Megan, who has the right to heal without being dragged through the mud each time one of the millions of people with an internet connection decides to play lawyer. The courtroom may have ruled in 2022, but clearly, the fight for public opinion continues.
