Megan Thee Stallion, who was born Megan Pete, needed surgery and spent four days in the hospital before physical therapy allowed her to walk again.

“He not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma,” the statement said. “This is a statement for all survivors that their lives matter and there is zero tolerance for the torture that accompanies violence.” “I have seen homicide case, other cases where there’s a death and the person still gets less than 10 years,” Mr Baez said. “It’s just another example of somebody being punished for their celebrity status, someone being utilised as an example.”
