“I feel for you”: Megan Thee Stallion’s Boyfriend Pardison Fontaine Reveals How Media Turns Women of Color From Victim to Culprit
Megan Thee Stallion’s legal battle against Tory Lanez continues. The jury decides whether Lanez shot the rapper two years ago. Her current boyfriend, Pardison Fontaine, has shown support to his girlfriend. The Canadian rapper did not take the witness stand to testify in the trial despite being charged with three felonies in connection with the July 12, 2020, incident.
Stallion testified after two years of accusing the singer of shooting her in the foot. In November 2020, the 30-year-old singer pleaded not guilty in front of the court. Following the ongoing battle, Fountaine stood by his girlfriend and has spoken through his social media about the injustices happening to women like his 27-year-old singer girlfriend.
Pardison Fontaine, the boyfriend of Megan Thee Stallion, speaks in favor of her during the trial
While the legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez continues, her boyfriend has shared his support through his social media. Pardison Fontaine took to his Instagram and shared stories and made a statement on the tough situation the Savage singer and other women frequently encounter when deciding to seek justice.
He wrote,
“When you do find the courage to speak up.. it seems you will be ridiculed.. your credibility will [be] questioned.. your entire past will be held under a magnifying glass.. in an instant, you can go from victim to defendant in the eyes of the public.”
The rapper felt bad for the women, especially the women of color, who could have to endure injustice. He also confessed to having respect towards such women as his girlfriend. He further wrote,
“To anyone with a daughter, sister, mother, niece or aunt.. I pray for their protection.. I pray for their covering.. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.”
The 32-year singer repeated the points once stated by Sweetest Pie singer about victim shaming. According to him, the public’s perception of someone changes from victim to defendant in an instant.
Megan Thee Stallion received a lack of support from the male-dominant hip-hop community
The Hot Girl Summer singer accused Daystar Peterson of shooting her on foot in July 2020 after a pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house. According to the songwriter’s testimony, the shooting started while she, Kelsey Nicole, Lanez, and his bodyguard were returning from a party. During her testimony, she claimed of being terrified during the incident.
The three-time Grammy winner also shared how difficult it was to talk about the incident. During the second week of the trial, she talked about the lack of support she received from the male-dominant hip-hop community. The Ungrateful rapper confessed that every man who had a position and power in the music industry took the side of the Say It rapper.
The Los Angles jury on Friday found the Canadian rapper guilty of shooting Stallion in foot.
