Megan Thee Stallion Advocates for Women and Says She Wasn’t in a Relationship With Tory Lanez in NYT Op-Ed Piece

Megan Thee Stallion Advocates for Women and Says She Wasn't in a Relationship With Tory Lanez in NYT Op-Ed Piece

Megan Thee Stallion broke the Internet when she used her Saturday Night Live debut to advocate for the protection of Black men and women. She doubled down on her inspirational message in a New York Time op-ed piece elaborating on the violence waged against Black women and her own personal experience.

“I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man,” Meg wrote. “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.”

The Hot Girl coach explained that the violence inflicted against Black women isn’t always linked to a romantic relationship, but sometimes it’s “when we choose to exercise our own free will,” she said.

But Black women deal with so much while protecting themselves, Black men, not feeding into stereotypes, and wearing a smile while doing it all. “There’s not much room for passionate advocacy if you are a Black woman,” she said.

But thankfully Megan Thee Stallion still chooses to strut confidently and do as she pleases through the adversity and backlash.

I’m not afraid of criticism,” Megan said. “We live in a country where we have the freedom to criticize elected officials. And it’s ridiculous that some people think the simple phrase ‘Protect Black women’ is controversial. We deserve to be protected as human beings. And we are entitled to our anger about a laundry list of mistreatment and neglect that we suffer.”

Kris Jenner Breaks Down in Tears During Amari Thompson’s Birthday on The Kardashians

HonkMagazine

In a rare moment of raw vulnerability, Kris Jenner, the famously poised, ever-resilient matriarch of the Kardashian-Jennerlogging empire, appeared completely rattled in a recent episode of The Kardashians. The heartwarming moment occurred during what was supposed to be a celebratory 18th birthday party for Tristan Thompson’s younger brother, Amari. But the day soon took a heartbreaking turn when Amari, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, suffered a seizure in the middle of the celebration. Organized lovingly by Khloé Kardashian, the soiree started as a peaceful, sun-drenched garden gathering of laughter and immediate family members.

But before you could blink, the mood changed. The mood shifted from celebration to deep concern as Amari’s seizure unfolded. Although his caretakers responded swiftly and kindly, Jenner was shaken by the surprise episode. For someone who has spent more than four decades wardrobe-taming reality television’s emotional highs and lows, family fame, and gossip columnists, Kris Jenner’s breakdown was a stark reminder that even the strongest hearts have their breaking points. The 69-year-old slipped from the tableau, tears streaking her face as she did so while seeking a moment alone in the house. “It was just too much,” you could hear her saying, not as the most famous momager in the universe but as a person being forced into something painful and real.

This moment, captured on Hulu’s The Kardashians, strips away the glamorous facade of the Kardashian kingdom to expose a family that feels heartbreak like everyone else, even with the fame. Jenner’s response had nothing to do with cameras or headlines, it had everything to do with compassion. About the hopelessness that sometimes sets in when someone you love is suffering and, at that moment, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Kris Jenner has always been the glue of her family, so in this scene, she opened up a little and it touched a the quiet strength it takes to let go. Her breakdown was love, compassion, and the weight of seeing someone else’s suffering in real life.

Claressa Shields Delivers Knockout Quote on Womanhood and Self-Worth

HonkMagazine

Claressa Shields is flipping the script, and it’s not a position riddled with petty quarrels or beef. The boxing champ and upcomer used Instagram Live recently to clarify the air around her name and her values. After putting herself through a rumor mill from last year’s Remy Ma and Papoose drama, Shields decided to speak her truth, and she did so with the same bravado as a woman who fights in the ring. “I’ve never beefed with a girl over a boy or a man, it’s never happened to me,” Shields kept it raw and unfiltered as she told her fans. “I’m not one of them.” It’s a statement that hits hard and redirects the dialogue away from rumor and toward growth, maturity, and unapologetic self-worth.

At age 30, Shields is establishing that her priorities have matured far beyond teenage envy and social media beefs. She said: ‘The last time I ever cared about a man going after another woman was when I was 16. “That was a long, long time ago,” she said with a laugh and dismissed the concept she’d ever lower her standards or peace of mind for a man. Shields isn’t interested in competing with other women for male attention she’s interested in building her legacy. “Every man I’ve ever dated has been 100 percent for me,” she continued. It’s not cocky it’s setting boundaries, respecting yourself and choosing emotional stability over drama.

What Shield is serving here is a tutorial on self-awareness. And unlike many public figures who get caught up in online speculation, Shields opts for transparency without messiness. She’s avoiding the soap opera and stepping into her power instead. In an age of viral beef and headline-chasing, Claressa Shields is proving that a tough woman isn’t just a woman that punches hard, she’s a woman who knows better than to throw a punch at all.
