"Can’t keep a story straight": Megan Thee Stallion's attorney responds to latest website created by Tory Lanez claiming innocence

On May 29, 2025, Tory Lanez's lawyers established a website to try to get more information on the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. In response, Megan's lawyer, Alex Spiro, emphatically rejected what the site said, calling it inconsistent stories and old trial evidence. The article goes into detail on the arguments made by Megan's lawyers and Lanez's defenders, sums up the important points made by each side, and looks at the bigger effects on how people see the case and the criminal justice system.

Megan Thee Stallion's attorney responds to the latest website created by Tory Lanez, claiming innocence: more details

Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, shot Megan in the foot after a party at Kylie Jenner's home. He was found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in December 2022. Lanez's attorneys have brought up concerns about procedural mistakes and a lack of evidence in multiple appeals while their client is serving a 10-year sentence.

A long 35-page presentation footage and audio from the incident that night, which was "previously unseen." Witnesses said that Megan's friend Kelsey Harris, not Lanez, was the one who shot her. In a formal declaration by attorney Alex Spiro, it was declared:

“Tory Lanez’s team can’t keep a story straight. Last week, they argued that Kelsey Harris shot Megan and now, they’re claiming that Megan only stepped on glass. They continue to rehash old evidence from trial and re-package it as new information to desperately sway public opinion. It’s embarrassing that Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is integrating herself into the California criminal justice system for click-bait. Instead, she should focus on serving her own constituents.”

The legal community says that appeals courts don't look at evidence that hasn't been given via the right legal channels. When juries make decisions, they simply look at the trial transcripts and the record of events. Changing the way evidence is presented doesn't change this process. Public perception campaigns may impact how people see things, but they don't usually change the outcome of legal cases until they get the legislative or executive branch to do anything.

During the introduction of the website, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna surprisingly backed Lanez's claim of innocence. Fans of both singers have been arguing a lot on social media, however. Megan's supporters think the website is part of a "smear campaign" against someone who has already been shown to be a victim. Lanez's fans, on the other hand, consider it long-overdue honesty.
