by the pause,
1002

{\an8}by the movement of the eye, by looking...

- Right. [laughs]

[commentator] Megan got
her ass on national TV
1005
00:47:35,165 --> 00:47:38,669
and straight motherfucking lied
to that old lady like that.

Meg's a liar in totality...
1007
00:47:42,965 --> 00:47:45,259
[guest] But when you lie about one thing,
everybody's gonna doubt you
1008

[Megan] Why are we not talking
about the goddamn shooting?
1010
00:47:51,098 --> 00:47:53,851
Everything has been a distraction
from the shooting.
1011
00:47:55,019 --> 00:47:56,979
Like, I-I used to be so confident
1012
00:47:56,979 --> 00:48:01,150
in myself and I used to be...
like, it-it wouldn't have been a time
1013
00:48:01,150 --> 00:48:03,902
where anybody would've asked me
about fucking somebody
1014
00:48:03,902 --> 00:48:06,530
and I would've been like,
you know, I would've been like,
1015
00:48:06,530 --> 00:48:08,449
"So? Okay, yeah, I did that shit."
1016
00:48:08,449 --> 00:48:10,701

1017
00:48:10,701 --> 00:48:11,827
What about it?
1018
00:48:11,827 --> 00:48:16,457
But the way, like,
they have villainized me
1019
00:48:16,457 --> 00:48:20,544
for being this type of person,
it started to make me second-guess...
1020
00:48:21,378 --> 00:48:22,588
myself.
1021
00:48:23,589 --> 00:48:26,091
Yes, bitch, I lied to Gayle King, bitch.
1022
00:48:26,091 --> 00:48:28,552
First of all, I ain't know that bitch was
even finna ask me about that shit, bitch.
1023
00:48:28,552 --> 00:48:29,762
I thought we was finna
talk about the shooting.
1024
00:48:29,762 --> 00:48:31,138
Why'd you ask me about fucking Tory?
1025
00:48:31,138 --> 00:48:32,514
That's not what this is about.
1026
00:48:32,514 --> 00:48:34,558
Even if I was, I fucked a nigga like once.
1027
00:48:34,558 --> 00:48:36,310
Maybe twice on a drunk night,
1028
00:48:36,310 --> 00:48:39,229
but you kept catching me
out of my fucking mind.
1029
00:48:39,229 --> 00:48:40,439
Like...
1030
00:48:40,439 --> 00:48:43,275
Even sometime they get me
off the goddamn track.
1031
00:48:43,275 --> 00:48:45,861
Like, when they keep talking
about the "fucking" part,
1032
00:48:45,861 --> 00:48:48,656
and I find myself consumed
in the "fucking" part,
1033
00:48:48,656 --> 00:48:51,408
and I'm like, "Wait, this is not
what this is about!"
1034
00:48:54,370 --> 00:48:57,581
If my mom was here,
I wouldn't be going through this.
1035

I wouldn't knew half these people.

I wouldn't have did half this shit.
1037
00:49:02,836 --> 00:49:06,382
I think I was just going through
a crazy phase of life. Like...
1038
00:49:06,382 --> 00:49:10,594
I'll never be able to take back
that time of life.
1039
00:49:10,594 --> 00:49:11,970
I wasn't no bad person,
1040

But I wasn't fighting.

was drinking and fucking.

from what I'm really feeling,

01:26:39,299 --> 01:26:40,800
Long time no see.
1817
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:42,510
- [Megan] Nneka.
- [Nneka] What up?
1818
01:26:42,510 --> 01:26:44,971
Bitch... ducked off.
1819
01:26:44,971 --> 01:26:47,933
[laughs] In my own world.
1820
01:26:47,933 --> 01:26:49,142
[Nneka] You okay?
1821
01:26:49,142 --> 01:26:50,268
I am okay.
1822
01:26:50,268 --> 01:26:53,521
Like, I had went to... [laughs]
1823
01:26:53,521 --> 01:26:56,650
It's gonna sound stupid,
but I went to, like...
1824
01:26:56,650 --> 01:26:58,568
a wellness retreat,
1825
01:26:58,568 --> 01:27:03,031
and I took, like,
so many different types of therapies,
1826
01:27:03,031 --> 01:27:05,825
and I just feel like a new bitch.
[chuckles]
1827
01:27:05,825 --> 01:27:08,870
- Oh, really?
- Yes, like...
1828
01:27:08,870 --> 01:27:10,664
I don't know.
I guess I'll tell you about it later,
1829
01:27:10,664 --> 01:27:12,415
- but...
- Mm-hmm.
1830
01:27:12,415 --> 01:27:13,500
I know you missed this ass.
1831
01:27:13,500 --> 01:27:15,085
[Nneka laughs]
1832
01:27:15,085 --> 01:27:18,046
[both laughing]
1833
01:27:19,422 --> 01:27:20,382
[Megan sighs]
1834
01:27:23,551 --> 01:27:26,513
I thought I was about to die
before I left to go to therapy, like...
1835
01:27:26,513 --> 01:27:29,349
- [Nneka] Mm-hmm.
- Uh, it was like three days...
1836
01:27:31,017 --> 01:27:35,105
...three days I did not get out the bed,
and I never felt like this in my life.
1837
01:27:35,105 --> 01:27:36,898
Like, I couldn't get out the bed.
1838
01:27:36,898 --> 01:27:41,152
Like, I was here, actually,
and I just stayed under c-covers,
1839
01:27:41,152 --> 01:27:44,698
and I cried every day, and it... it wa...
1840
01:27:44,698 --> 01:27:47,534
I'm crying about everything,
but I just could not move,
1841
01:27:47,534 --> 01:27:49,452
and I never felt like that ever.
1842
01:27:49,452 --> 01:27:52,205
And I never... [stammers]
...have been a suicidal person.
1843
01:27:52,205 --> 01:27:54,249
I never been somebody
who just wanted to be like,
1844
01:27:54,249 --> 01:27:57,877
"Oh, fuck it, I don't want to be here,"
but I had... I was feeling like that.
1845
01:27:57,877 --> 01:28:01,423
I was like, "I don't...
I would rather not live through this
1846
01:28:01,423 --> 01:28:04,050
than to have to live with this."
1847
01:28:07,137 --> 01:28:09,139
Court start tomorrow,
1848
01:28:09,139 --> 01:28:11,516
and I'm just ready for everybody
to eat their motherfucking words,
1849
01:28:11,516 --> 01:28:13,893
and everybody gonna have to eat
my motherfucking ass, actually,
1850
01:28:13,893 --> 01:28:15,395
'cause that's all everybody gonna see.
1851
01:28:15,395 --> 01:28:17,522
I'm-a stay with my back turned
to motherfuckers.
1852
01:28:17,522 --> 01:28:19,566
- Bitch, ass gonna stay spread.
- [Nneka laughs]
1853
01:28:19,566 --> 01:28:22,193
[laughing] Every...
Bitch, I'm-a stay bent over.
1854
01:28:22,193 --> 01:28:23,778
[both laugh]
1855
01:28:23,778 --> 01:28:25,238
I don't even want no apologies.
1856
01:28:25,238 --> 01:28:27,657
Like, I feel like I'm past that, too.
1857
01:28:27,657 --> 01:28:30,744
Like, I'm just like,
"Oh, I don't even care."
1858
01:28:30,744 --> 01:28:33,371
[somber music playing]
1859
01:28:36,374 --> 01:28:37,792
[friend] Good night.
1860
01:28:46,676 --> 01:28:48,845
- Tory!
- We support Tory.
1861
01:28:48,845 --> 01:28:49,971
Stick to the side, guys.
1862
01:28:49,971 --> 01:28:51,473
- To the side, please.
- [overlapping chatter]
1863
01:28:51,473 --> 01:28:55,018
Good luck, Tory.
Don't prosecute an innocent man.
1864
01:28:55,018 --> 01:28:57,479
Thank you, man. Appreciate y'all.
Have a nice day, all right?
1865
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:58,730
You, too.
1866
01:28:58,730 --> 01:29:00,523
[reporter 1] A jury trial is
scheduled to begin today
1867
01:29:00,523 --> 01:29:02,567
for rapper Tory Lanez.
1868
01:29:02,567 --> 01:29:04,778
He is accused of shooting
Megan Thee Stallion.
1869
01:29:06,112 --> 01:29:08,615
[Megan] It's not that
I don't have faith in the truth,
1870
01:29:08,615 --> 01:29:10,408
because I know I'm telling the truth.
1871
01:29:10,408 --> 01:29:13,995
I don't know what's gonna happen,
and that's making me nervous.
1872
01:29:15,997 --> 01:29:19,334
[reporter 2] During opening statements,
Tory's team laid out a whole theory.
1873
01:29:19,334 --> 01:29:20,919
[reporter 3] They were saying
that this shooting
1874
01:29:20,919 --> 01:29:23,630
basically amounted to a catfight,
1875
01:29:23,630 --> 01:29:27,926
a jealousy-fueled explosion
between Kelsey and Megan.
1876
01:29:27,926 --> 01:29:31,846
How do you think it's going, Tory?
You feeling confident?
1877
01:29:31,846 --> 01:29:34,682
You know what they say about
men in pink, right? [laughs]
1878
01:29:34,682 --> 01:29:36,351
[reporter] It looks good. Looks good.
1879
01:29:40,063 --> 01:29:42,816
[reporter 4] Now, Megan Thee Stallion
is expected to testify that it was
1880
01:29:42,816 --> 01:29:45,193
Tory Lanez that shot her that night.
1881
01:29:45,193 --> 01:29:47,612
[reporter 5] Tory's lawyer has been
really up-front that he's gonna be
1882
01:29:47,612 --> 01:29:50,406
questioning Megan
about her inconsistent statements.
1883
01:29:50,406 --> 01:29:52,450
[reporter 6] Did you get the sense
Megan's credibility
1884
01:29:52,450 --> 01:29:53,952
is gonna be a big issue?
1885
01:29:53,952 --> 01:29:55,870
[reporter 7] Absolutely.
1886
01:29:55,870 --> 01:29:58,456
[Megan] There are a lot of women
who go through things
1887
01:29:58,456 --> 01:30:01,209
and they feel like nobody
will believe them
1888
01:30:01,209 --> 01:30:02,919
and they feel like nobody will care,
1889
01:30:02,919 --> 01:30:05,380
so they don't want to fight
and they don't want to speak up.
1890
01:30:05,380 --> 01:30:07,507
Megan, why you lying on that boy?
1891
01:30:07,507 --> 01:30:09,384
- Why're you lying on that boy?
- Is it the truth or a lie?
1892
01:30:09,384 --> 01:30:10,552
You look good in that purple!
1893
01:30:10,552 --> 01:30:12,303
[Megan] But I feel like,
"Okay, you got to be strong."
1894
01:30:12,303 --> 01:30:15,515
'Cause I know somebody somewhere
going through something similar.
1895
01:30:15,515 --> 01:30:18,059
[dramatic music playing]
1896
01:30:20,145 --> 01:30:23,731
This is like my final battle,
my last fight.
1897
01:30:29,529 --> 01:30:32,657
[indistinct chatter]
1898
01:30:32,657 --> 01:30:36,286
When walking into the courtroom--
Well, I came in there trying to be tough.
1899
01:30:44,085 --> 01:30:47,213
But inside I was in shambles.
1900
01:30:47,213 --> 01:30:49,382
[crying]
1901
01:30:52,886 --> 01:30:55,638
[laughter]
1902
01:30:55,638 --> 01:30:57,265
[person 1] Megan is a liar.
1903
01:30:57,265 --> 01:30:58,433
[person 2] No bullet holes.
1904
01:30:58,433 --> 01:31:00,810
[person 3] Megan Thee Stallion
did not get shot.
1905
01:31:00,810 --> 01:31:02,645
- [person 4] I don't think Megan got shot.
- [person 5] You don't think so?
1906
01:31:02,645 --> 01:31:04,564
- [person 6] Free Tory Lanez!
- [person 7] Free Tory! No evidence--
1907
01:31:04,564 --> 01:31:05,690
[person 7] I think
she's finished regardless.
1908
01:31:05,690 --> 01:31:08,234
[person 8] She's done. She's done.
1909
01:31:10,862 --> 01:31:12,864
[jarring music playing]
1910
01:31:23,499 --> 01:31:25,335
[Megan] But then I thought,
1911
01:31:25,335 --> 01:31:27,670
"I need to show up for Megan Pete."
1912
01:31:27,670 --> 01:31:29,756
[hopeful music playing]
1913
01:31:35,303 --> 01:31:36,596
[gunshot]
1914
01:31:41,309 --> 01:31:42,810
[thunder rumbling]
1915
01:31:43,394 --> 01:31:44,604
[tape rewinding]
1916
01:31:47,982 --> 01:31:52,528
It just really clicked to me,
today is not about trying to look strong.
1917
01:31:56,324 --> 01:31:57,742
It's okay to be sad.
1918
01:32:01,287 --> 01:32:02,956
I need to stop avoiding it.
1919
01:32:08,253 --> 01:32:10,964
[waves crashing]
1920
01:32:10,964 --> 01:32:14,926
[laughter]
1921
01:32:18,930 --> 01:32:20,807
[triumphant music playing]
1922
01:32:30,817 --> 01:32:32,902
[reporter 1] Highly anticipated
testimony today.
1923
01:32:32,902 --> 01:32:36,239
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion testified
about what she says happened
1924
01:32:36,239 --> 01:32:38,283
on the night of July 12, 2020.
1925
01:32:38,283 --> 01:32:39,701
[reporter 2] How you feeling, Megan?
1926
01:32:39,701 --> 01:32:41,995
[reporter 3] It wasn't
just what she said happened,
1927
01:32:41,995 --> 01:32:43,246
it's how she said it.
1928
01:32:43,246 --> 01:32:45,456
She was really emotional in court today.
1929
01:32:45,456 --> 01:32:48,960
[reporter 4] Outside the courthouse,
fans rallied to show their support,
1930
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,379
holding up a "We Stand With Megan" banner.
1931
01:32:51,379 --> 01:32:53,631
[reporter 5] I heard
it was a packed courtroom.
1932
01:32:53,631 --> 01:32:55,883
[reporter 6] I really got the impression
that everyone around me
1933
01:32:55,883 --> 01:32:58,052
was just hanging on everyone's word.
1934
01:32:58,052 --> 01:33:00,305
[reporter 7] Morning, Kelsey.
How you doing today?
1935
01:33:00,305 --> 01:33:02,974
[Charles Latibeaudiere] As Tory Lanez's
trial is heating up,
1936
01:33:02,974 --> 01:33:07,145
Megan's former best friend Kelsey took
the stand, and it turned into total chaos.
1937
01:33:07,145 --> 01:33:08,730
[person 1] Gonna tell the truth?
Gonna tell the truth?
1938
01:33:08,730 --> 01:33:11,774
[person 2] Is it the truth or a lie?
The truth will set you free!
1939
01:33:11,774 --> 01:33:13,818
[reporter 8] Kelsey Harris testified,
1940
01:33:13,818 --> 01:33:16,321
and the prosecution
called her as a witness
1941
01:33:16,321 --> 01:33:18,448
because they thought
she was gonna come in,
1942
01:33:18,448 --> 01:33:21,326
identify Tory as the shooter
and pretty much help them make this case.
1943
01:33:21,326 --> 01:33:22,952
That did not happen.
1944
01:33:22,952 --> 01:33:26,581
She basically is saying today that
she doesn't remember any of the events
1945
01:33:26,581 --> 01:33:29,083
that took place
when the shooting occurred.
1946
01:33:29,083 --> 01:33:31,336
Kelsey got up there
and blew their whole shit up.
1947
01:33:31,336 --> 01:33:33,963
And the defense had a huge lead today.
1948
01:33:33,963 --> 01:33:37,592
Do y'all really think that he deserves
to go to prison for this shit?
1949
01:33:37,592 --> 01:33:39,427
When it's this fucking messy?
1950
01:33:39,427 --> 01:33:41,387
Isn't this all favorable to Tory Lanez?
1951
01:33:41,387 --> 01:33:45,099
Because if I'm Tory Lanez's defense team,
I'm trying to confuse the jury.
1952
01:33:45,099 --> 01:33:46,476
There's no smoking gun coming.
1953
01:33:46,476 --> 01:33:49,604
This is he-said, she-said,
but the bodyguard
1954
01:33:49,604 --> 01:33:52,231
who is the neutral party?
Nobody can find that nigga.
1955
01:33:52,231 --> 01:33:54,942
The D.A. just seems like
they don't have all their ducks in order,
1956
01:33:54,942 --> 01:33:57,737
and Tory's lawyer
is coming with some shit.
1957
01:33:57,737 --> 01:34:00,073
[indistinct chatter]
1958
01:34:06,412 --> 01:34:08,247
[Megan] How far are we from the house?
1959
01:34:09,457 --> 01:34:11,125
I think, um...
1960
01:34:11,125 --> 01:34:16,422
At some point, I'm supposed to
get on the phone with the D.A.
1961
01:34:16,422 --> 01:34:19,258
- [team member] Uh-huh.
- So...
1962
01:34:19,258 --> 01:34:21,260
[team member] Look at this. That's bright.
1963
01:34:21,260 --> 01:34:22,595
[Megan chuckles]
1964
01:34:22,595 --> 01:34:24,263
- We at that house.
- [Megan] Mm-hmm.
1965
01:34:24,263 --> 01:34:26,808
[team member] With all the lights.
1966
01:34:26,808 --> 01:34:29,268
[Megan] I have not been to no house
1967
01:34:29,268 --> 01:34:32,021
- with Christmas decorations in years.
- Mm-hmm.
1968
01:34:35,733 --> 01:34:37,777
[Megan] Mmm.
1969
01:34:49,914 --> 01:34:51,707
[indistinct chatter]
1970
01:34:53,835 --> 01:34:55,169
[cameraperson] You happy to be home?
1971
01:34:55,169 --> 01:34:56,671
I'm actually really happy to be home.
1972
01:34:56,671 --> 01:34:57,797
[team member] Meg!
1973
01:34:57,797 --> 01:35:03,928
But I got to, uh, get on this call
with the D.A.s in a little bit.
1974
01:35:09,267 --> 01:35:11,394
I don't know what's gonna happen.
1975
01:35:12,562 --> 01:35:18,109
But I know the D.A.s wouldn't
have this much faith in me,
1976
01:35:18,109 --> 01:35:21,612
they wouldn't have this much faith
in this case,
1977
01:35:21,612 --> 01:35:23,739
they wouldn't be standing on it this tough
