Tory Lanez Allegedly Insults Reporter on Final Day in Court

Court reporter Meghann Cuniff appears to have gotten under rapper Tory Lanez’s skin. According to the journalist—who gained social media notoriety as “Meghann Thee Reporter” thanks to her coverage of Lanez’s Megan Thee Stallion shooting trial—Lanez called her a “googly-eyed bitch” during his final appearance in court this week.

Last December, a Los Angeles jury found Lanez guilty of all three charges prosecutors had raised against him—assault with a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm, and negligent discharge of a gun—for shooting Megan Pete, aka Megan Thee Stallion, in 2020. This August, Lanez received a 10-year prison sentence, and on Thursday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied his motion for bail.

In her final report on the court case, Cuniff repeats her allegation (first shared on Twitter Thursday) that Lanez insulted her during his last moments in court. “I couldn’t hear him,” Cuniff writes in her report, published Friday, “but several people in the courtroom, including sheriff’s deputies, heard him say ‘googly-eyed bitch’ as he looked at me in the gallery.”
