For years, Megan Thee Stallion has been dogged by online influencers attempting to cast doubt on her retelling of her 2020 shooting, which she said left her with bullet fragments in her feet and anxiety. Now, with her shooter Tory Lanez in prison and misinformation continuing to flood social media, the Grammy-winning rapper is fighting back on screen and in court. Megan’s new documentary, In Her Words , was released Thursday and quickly became one of the most popular movies on Prime Video.
The movie dropped the same week she filed a lawsuit against a blogger she accuses of lying about her, cyberstalking her and spreading a fake pornographic video of her. ( Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is the founder of Amazon, which owns Prime Video.) “There are a lot of women who go through things, and they feel like nobody will believe them, and they feel like nobody will care, so they don’t want to fight, and they don’t want to speak up,” Megan said in the documentary.
“But I feel like, ‘Okay, got to be strong,’ ‘cause I know it’s somebody somewhere going through something similar.” Through the nearly two-hour documentary, Megan revisits the backlash she faced after Lanez shot her during an argument in Los Angeles . She said in the documentary that she befriended Lanez after her mother’s death in 2019, as she sought friends who could support her while her career was on the rise.
