LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Megan Thee Stallion gave emotional testimony while taking the stand on December 13, 2022, during the assault trial of Tory Lanez, who allegedly shot her in the feet in July 2020. The 27-year-old took the stand wearing a bold-shouldered pantsuit in a bright shade of purple designed by Sergio Hudson. To which, one of many people catcalled her and said, “You look good in that purple,” followed by “Megan, why are you lying on that boy?” and further stated, "Is it the truth or a lie?"

A video showed the statements thrown at Megan while she was walking toward the court, with people catcalling and harassing her. On the other hand, a video of Tory walking in had men lined up to tell him that he “looks fresh as a million bucks.” Comparing the videos, an individual took it to Twitter and wrote, "'You look good in that purple' being preceded by 'Megan, why you lying on that boy?' is exactly what misogynoir, patriarchy, and rape culture look like in real-time. He is literally catcalling her while simultaneously clearly stating he doesn’t believe she’s a victim."
