Kelsey Harris

Megan Thee Stallion's former friend and assistant Kelsey Harris testified Wednesday that she never saw Tory Lanez shooting a gun the night Megan was shot in ...

She also struggled to explain a recorded phone call Lanez made to her from jail hours after the shooting, saying, “That night, I don’t remember an apology.” “So many things,” Harris answered. “They were both going back and forth about artistry, I guess,” she said. “Apparently a fight or argument happened,” Harris testified. She returned to Los Angeles to stay with Megan – or “Meg” as she called her – then went to reality star Kylie Jenner’s home for what she repeatedly told Ta was not a party. Ta questioned her about her relationship with Lanez changing after she went to Texas, confirming with Harris they were both from there and Harris answering, “I don’t know where she’s from. Ta asked, “Kelsey, why don’t you want to answer that question,” and she said, “It’s just, I don’t know.” She added, “I don’t want to be here” but said of what Lanez told her in the car, “I don’t know. She cited “lies from Megan,” and said she felt betrayed. “I don’t care to be here today…I mean, it’s a trigger, you know, situation,” Harris testified. “That’s not the exact wording,” Harris answered. “You have to answer that question,” Ta said. “There were some things I wasn’t truthful about,” Harris said before Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta played a clip from Harris’ interview in which she sounds much more relaxed and candid as she spoke about Lanez’s alleged actions the night of the July 12, 2020, shooting.

What happened between September and today that you forgot everything?” prosecutor Kathy Ta asked the rapper's former friend and assistant.

The question arrived as Harris continued to recant statements she’d given to prosecutors in recorded interviews in September 2022.

Megan Thee Stallion's former friend and assistant hinted at taking a $1 million bribe from Tory Lanez during testimony in court Wednesday.

She alleges that intense arguing ensued between the three of them. She added there was a lot of alcohol present at the gathering and she even passed out. She continued by saying that after they met, Megan Thee Stallion wanted her and Lanez to hook up. That I took hush money.” “Not just me,” she replied. Prosecutors went on record to state that anything Harris said during her testimony would not be used as information to file charges at a later date.

Megan Thee Stallion's former best friend, Kelsey Harris, testified on day 3 of the Tory Lanez shooting trial. Harris was supposed to back up the ...

Harris added that her recollection of the events that occurred the night of the shooting was “blurry” because she, Megan, and Tory had been drinking heavily at Kylie Jenner’s house. “Do you remember in this interview with (another prosecutor) and myself, that you mentioned he threatened to shoot you?” Ta asked Harris. Harris would invoke her 5th amendment right again when asked if Lanez threatened to shoot her.

The trial began Monday, more than two years after Megan Thee Stallion accused the R&B artist of shooting her.

The DA asked Harris if she remembered saying that Megan seemed like a "deer in the headlights" and that she saw Lanez aiming the gun downward toward Megan, which Harris subsequently denies remembering. On the stand, Harris refuted her previous testimony, saying "it was a night of alcohol" and she doesn't recall saying that. When asked by the DA whether she was holding the gun, shot Megan or had any part in it, Harris said she didn't. Harris was once again asked about the car's second stop, claiming that she and Megan got out of the car at the same time and that she hadn't been looking around while exiting the car, which is when she heard shots. When the trial resumed after a lunch break, Harris claimed that the things she said in her deposition were "inaccurate." "I guess if that is what you want to call it," she responded when asked if Lanez's alleged offers to fund a future business and pay for her attorneys were in exchange for Harris keeping silent. Harris claimed that a lot of her memory of the party was "blurry" because of alcohol consumption and she recalled passing out at one point. Harris claimed Lanez was demanding that Megan tell the truth, while Megan was telling Harris not to listen to him. The first time, she claimed, Megan and Lanez got out to talk outside the car and reentered "happy and as if nothing happened." According to the Los Angeles Times, Megan said that Harris had a "crush" on Lanez, and after the revelation about their sex lives, the argument spiraled out of control. She emphasized that the event was not a party, saying there were "six people total" present. Prosecutors say that in July 2020, in the early morning hours after a party in Los Angeles, Lanez allegedly lashed out at Megan after she criticized his musical career, allegedly firing toward her feet as she walked away from the car they had both been riding in along with Kelsey Harris -- Megan's best friend and assistant at the time.
