Kelsey andMeganwere friends, but after her mother’s death, Megan suggested Kelsey become her personal assistant.
“The worst year of my life was when my Mama passed.
It was drinking all the time and hanging out with too many people.
I kept getting lit thinking I was gonna get through the pain,” Megan shared.
Both variables revealed themselves at a celebrity-filled party thrown by Kylie Jenner.

The intoxicated duo convinced her to get back in the car, but the fighting doesn’t stop.
Megan acknowledges insulting Tory and gets out of the car again.
Acting under the influence, Tory brandishes a gun and shoots at the ground.
Shrapnel from the bullets pierce Megan’s feet as she is running from the car.
Initially, Megan lied to the police saying she stepped on glass after exiting the car.
Her hospital X-rays proved that it wasn’t glass in her feet but instead bullet fragments.
Megan comes clean with the police and a report is filed against Tory.
“I want him to go to jail.
I want him to go under the jail,” she said.
She had a few choice words for Kelsey on her social media feed as well.
Megan learned the hard way that friendships birthed in pain and trauma can be dangerous.
Kelsey’s actions post shooting prove that she was jealous of Megan’s career the entire time.
After the trial, Megan went away for 30 days of therapy and emotional rehabilitation.
Feedback from her documentary has encouraged the star to continue sharing with her fans through her art.
She realizes she has a responsibility to herself to double-check she is in a healthy place.
I would just say I’m alive because that is true.
The documentary can be streamed on Prime Video.
