Prosecutors played snippets of the interview during Harris’ combative testimony as she confirmed she gave the detailed statement three months ago but claimed the damaging account was “not accurate” and that she was “not truthful” that day to “protect” herself
Sitting steps away from a jury in a Los Angeles courtroom, Harris testified that she could no longer recall the alleged threat from Lanez inside the SUV and no longer remembered seeing him holding a gun or firing at Megan during an alcohol-fueled fight on July 12, 2020.
In one portion of the recording played for jurors, Harris was heard telling prosecutors that after Lanez allegedly said, “I’ll shoot you,” he then “reached like he was going to grab something” from the SUV’s center console.
Harris, 27, agreed she made the statement in September, but when Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta asked her to describe the alleged threat for the jury, she clammed up and claimed “some of those things I stated, they were not accurate.”
“The night was a blur. We were under the influence,” she said on the witness stand.
When prosecutors confronted her with her recorded statement claiming she saw Lanez “aiming the gun straight but always in a downward direction toward Megan,” Harris reversed course again and said she didn’t witness the shooting.
Harris did own up to sending the three lines of text messages to Megan’s bodyguard that read, “Help / Tory shot meg / 911,” within five minutes of the shooting. She said it was based on “assumptions.”
^That's from the article you posted. I'm confused
fukk. Dumb ass information just sticksShe recanted this. I think y’all are confusing the first interview with the prosecutors with here on the stand yesterday. She took all of that shyt back.
she clammed up and claimed “some of those things I stated, they were not accurate.”
So she said SOME of it was inaccurate, but through the interview she confirmed SOME of it was true.
Harris immunity meant she couldn’t plead the Fifth, but she asked to do so when Ta asked if Lanez had threatened to shoot her.
Do I have to answer that?” Harris asked.
“Yes,” Ta answered.
Harris did so by saying, “Yes, ma’am,” affirming that Lanez threatened to shoot her.
Ta also asked Harris about Lanez offering her $1 million not to testify against him, saying, “Kelsey, at some point in this case, did Tory try to bribe you?”
“Um,” Harris said, before a pregnant, roughly 20-second pause.
“Not just me,” she said.
Ta followed by asking Harris who else Lanez tried to bribe. That’s when Harris said, “I wouldn’t say ‘bribe.'” She said Lanez said it wasn’t “about not saying anything, no,” but then she added, “but it was mentioned.” She also said, “He mentioned a million dollars…I guess it was just about the case.”
Ta asked, “He offered you a million dollars to keep quiet” about the shooting?
“That’s not the exact wording,” Harris answered. “He mentioned the million, but again it’s a blur.”
