Ep 4: Deconstructing the Tory Lanez & Megan Thee Stallion Trial: "Misogynoir" and Villianizing Female Victims

TOO OPINIONATED with Attorney K and Nurse A

In our fourth episode, we deconstruct the layers of complexity and competing inequities underlying the dramatic Tory Lanes & Megan Thee Stallion trial, which played out in court – as well as in the court of public opinion – over the past year.

Rapper Tory Lanez' recent guilty verdict caused a media frenzy, after the popular Canadian rapper was convicted of shooting fellow hip hop artist Megan Thee Stallion at a Los Angeles house party in 2020, for which he is now facing over 20 years in prison.

This trial brought forth many contentious issues that we expose and analyze in this episode:

• What is "mysogynoir" and how did it show up in the Tory Lanez trial?
• Do we as a society condone violence against women?
• Is female sexuality and blackness attacked in order to villianize female victims?
• Why do we see so much resistance to believing women, racialized women in particular?
• How does anti-black racism skew the legal process and cause mistrust in law enforcement?

Join us as we discuss these important issues and more.
