Legal Allegations Shift in Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Case as Kelsey Harris’s Bodyguard Accuses Her of the Crime

Tory Lanez’s defense team revealed new claims during a press conference on Wednesday, suggesting a different narrative in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Bradley James, identified as Kelsey Harris’s bodyguard, alleges that Harris was the one who fired the shot that injured Megan, contradicting the previous conviction of Tory Lanez.

During the conference, Lanez’s attorneys emphasized their stance of his innocence, despite the jury’s verdict in December 2022 that found him guilty of shooting Megan.

Ceasar McDowell, CEO and co-founder of Unite the People, expressed support for Lanez, stating, “We think it’s time. Enough is enough. It’s time to bring the brother home.”

Attorney Walter Roberts then presented detailed allegations, claiming: “[Harris] fired at Megan three times. Mr. Peterson (another witness) grabbed her arm and knocked it down, causing the gun to fire two additional times. Mr. Peterson never shot anyone and never even touched the gun. This aligns with Sean Kelly’s testimony at trial—the only non-party witness—who saw two women fighting. Despite this, DNA was only collected from Mr. Peterson, and unknown DNA was found on the gun, raising questions about the case’s evidence handling.”

Tory Lanez Survives Prison Stabbing

The press conference also addressed recent events at Tory Lanez’s incarceration. Earlier this week, Lanez was stabbed multiple times at the prison where he is serving a 10-year sentence. CNN reports that another inmate attacked him in the housing unit, prompting immediate hospitalization.

Lanez’s team provided an update on his condition via his official Instagram account, sharing: “Tory was stabbed 14 times—including 7 wounds to his back, 4 to his torso, 2 to the back of his head, and 1 to the left side of his face. Both lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus. He is now breathing independently, talking normally, and in good spirits. Despite the pain, he’s thankful to be alive and appreciates everyone’s prayers and support.”

Conclusion

These recent developments continue to stir controversy and raise questions about the true events surrounding Megan Thee Stallion’s injury and Tory Lanez’s legal situation. As new evidence and claims emerge, the case remains a focal point in the ongoing conversation about justice and accountability in high-profile incidents.
