Tory Lanez Denies Guilt In Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Incident 2 Days After Being Sentenced To 10 Years In Prison
Tory Lanez took to Instagram Thursday with a defiant statement denying responsibility and asserting that he did not, and will not, apologize for the incident.
2 days after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for the 2020 shooting incident that left fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion‘s foot injured, Tory Lanez is hitting back with a belligerent message. “I have never let a hard time intimidate me,” he began the message, shared to Instagram on Thursday, Aug 10. “I will never let no jail time eliminate me. Regardless of how they try to spin my words, I have always maintained my innocence and I always will.”
The Canadian rapper continued, breaking down his perspective of the court events in Los Angeles on Aug. 7 and 8. “This week in court I took responsibility for all verbal and intimate moments that I shared with the parties involved….That’s it. In no way shape or form was I apologizing for the charges I’m being wrongfully convicted of. I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something that I did not do.”
Tory then referenced his troubled youth as he wrapped up the post-sentencing statement. “I’ve faced adversity my whole life and every time it looked like I would lose, I came out on top. This is nothing but another moment where my back is against the wall and I refuse to stop fighting till I come out victorious.”
He completed the post with a prediction for his future. “Tough times don’t last, tough people do,” he asserted. “To my family, friends, and umbrellas thank you for your continued support. See you soon.”

The 55-year-old - best known for voicing the famous character in the 1995 animated movie - had to be separated from another woman by police in Greene County, Ohio, on August 19 after the pair were arguing and screaming. According to a police report, the women “walked out into the street screaming, without any regard for traffic”. Bedard had “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath”, but insisted she had not been drinking that day. She told police she had drunk a bottle of vodka the day before. Bedard said the other woman, Sheila Johnson, had been trying to help her into her “studio”, but she was unable to find her keys. According to the police report, Beard’s “emotions changed rapidly”, going from calm to becoming upset and eventually crying. Police tried to move Bedard away from a large window as they feared she might shatter the glass, but when Johnson offered them a name to call on Bedard’s behalf the actress ran away screaming. She was booked for disorderly conduct and released on August 21. Bedard was arrested twice over a three-day period back in November 2020. *BYLINE: Greene County Sheriff’s Office/Pop Nation/TMX/Mega. 19 Aug 2022 Pictured: The booking photo of the voice of Disney’s Pocahontas, Irene Bedard, after she was arrested for disorderly conduct. *BYLINE: Greene County Sheriff’s Office/Pop Nation/TMX/Mega.

Tory’s defiant words came just a couple of days after a Los Angeles judge handed down a sentence of 10 years for the 2020 shooting injury involving Megan, after a grueling two-day marathon in court. Megan gave an emotional victim impact statement on Monday, detailing how the incident and injury had affected her life.
“Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace,” Megan said in the statement, which was read by Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta, per USA Today. “Slowly but surely, I’m healing and coming back, but I will never be the same.”
