Megan Thee Stallion Says Her Peace About Tory Lanez

Megan Thee Stallion penned an op-ed for the New York Times where she talks about her "Protect Black Women" message, during her performance on Saturday Night Live.

"I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place," says Megan about the night that Tory allegedly shot her. "My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted."

"After a lot of self-reflection on that incident, I’ve realized that violence against women is not always connected to being in a relationship. Instead, it happens because too many men treat all women as objects, which helps them to justify inflicting abuse against us when we choose to exercise our own free will," writes Megan.

She says that there's too much value on how others view women, that Black women have it much worse than anybody else in America.

"The issue is even more intense for Black women, who struggle against stereotypes and are seen as angry or threatening when we try to stand up for ourselves and our sisters."
