Kelly mentioned the small man ‘received out about that point, all shouting.'”

Kelly would go on to detail what the “smallest man” was doing during the fight.

Cuniff continued: “‘It appeared to me when I was on the phone that they were trying to kill her,'” Kelly mentioned. He mentioned he heard the driving force say the police are coming, and so they put the lady within the Escalade and left. Then got here the cross. (All that above is from direct by Tory’s lawyer.)[.]”

XXL has reached out to attorneys for Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez and Kelsey Harris for comment. The Los Angeles County District Attorney was contacted as well for a statement.
