Kelsey Nicole, the ex-best friend of Megan Thee Stallion who was present during the traumatic 2020 shooting at the hands of Tory Lanez, is finally speaking out.
As you may recall, during the actual trial, Kelsey was granted immunity for her testimony, though she mostly told the prosecutorial team that she didn’t remember anything while being questioned on the stand. Now, months later, it seems as if her recollection is better as she spoke her peace on “The Danza Project” podcast about the circumstances that transpired that night and how she’s been dealing in the aftermath.
Chief among her revelations was that she and Meg apparently didn’t fall out over Tory, but she’s still unclear as to why they stopped being friends in the first place. Kelsey also said that she found out that Meg allegedly did sleep with Tory the same night of the shooting and felt betrayed, but she thought the two of them could work through it and remain friends.
Kelsey also claimed she suffered PTSD, anxiety and depression following the shooting and the social media wars that took place in the aftermath. She was recommended to go take part in therapy to help get a better grip on her mental health, but she declined to do so.
Additionally, in the nearly two-hour-long interview, Kelsey revealed that her trust in people has been severed and that it’s been hard to make new friends as a result of the incident. She also made it abundantly clear that she did not shoot Megan in the foot on that day in July 2020.
Now look, we are not one to try to negate or minimize anyone else’s experience but Kelsey: where was all this energy and all these recollections when you were on trial? Why speak up now when everyone has moved on, Tory is in jail, and Megan is living her best life?
The time to talk would have been three months ago. Respectfully, hearing your POV now when it was more pivotal to do so during legal proceedings doesn’t hit the same. But at the very least, we hope it gives her whatever closure she is looking for so she can move on with her life. And so we, the general public, can do so, too.
