Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion in both feet, then begged her not to tell anyone and offered a million dollars. When the police showed up, she told them she had stepped on glass. That one lie became the center of his defense.

In 2020 she was one of the biggest rappers in America, the tall girl from Houston whose song Savage was everywhere that spring. Tory Lanez was a rapper from Canada and one of her closest friends.

On July 12, 2020 they left a party at Kylie Jenner's house in the Hollywood Hills. In the car an argument kept getting worse. She asked the driver to pull over and got out. She says all she heard was a man screaming "Dance, b*tch," and then the shots. He stood up over the window and kept firing. She was afraid to move, because one wrong step and he could kill her.

She looked down and saw blood. She dropped and crawled into a stranger's driveway. He was apologizing: "Please don't tell nobody. I'll give y'all a million dollars if y'all don't say nothing." She told him that if he was sorry, he should just help her.

Then the police arrived, with a hot gun in the car, weeks after George Floyd. She was terrified the officers would start shooting, so she told them she had stepped on glass. At the hospital doctors found bullet fragments in both of her feet.

For two years that one sentence was used against her. Half the internet believed her. The other half said she was never shot and was lying to ruin his career.

In December 2022 a jury convicted Tory Lanez of three felonies, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In 2025 he was stabbed 14 times in a California prison, and an appeals court upheld his conviction.

She still has bullet fragments in her feet. In her first TV interview about that night she broke down in tears telling Gayle King the whole story.

The one lie she told to keep everyone in that car alive is the one people still use to call her a liar.

Is 10 years enough for a man who shot a woman and tried to buy her silence, or did he get off easy?

Piers Morgan told a law student she was wasting her brain on OnlyFans. She told him she earns about double what he does. Then he asked what her future kids would think. "They can cry in a Ferrari."

Piers spent the whole interview trying to make her regret it. She never stopped smiling.

In the video below, he keeps pushing and she keeps winning.

Her name is Elle Brooke. She was a law student at university in Southampton. She saw how much money other people were earning online and thought: I can do this too. So she dropped out.

Piers tells her she obviously has a great brain. Why pack in a career as a lawyer?

Her answer: she wouldn't have made much as a solicitor anyway. "I earned that in two weeks now."

He asks how much she makes. She asks how much he makes. "Maybe, like, double that."

She won't give a number. Only that she's in the top 0.01% of OnlyFans creators "in monetary terms."

Then he tries family. Surely they're disappointed?

"My dad is dead and my mum is on my payroll."

Doing what? "Admin." Her mum doesn't brag about it at the pub, she says, but she's supportive.

Piers warns her that some people watching will think she sounds awful. She shrugs: "With a little bit of good looks and hard work, you can become a millionaire."

Even Piers admits it: "The bottom line is she's making millions doing what she enjoys doing."

His last shot: in 15 years she'll tell him he was right.

"I'll pick you up in my Bugatti."

Here's what happened after. She later said that interview basically doubled her earnings. And in January 2024 she knocked out AJ Bunker in the third round to win the Misfits Boxing women's middleweight title.

Piers thought he was watching a bright girl throw away a law career. She walked out with a viral clip, by her own account double the income, and within a year a title belt.

The person asking the questions isn't always the one in control.

@0xKorens criticism became the clip. classic

@redgreenlog thanks. the pledge vs donated part is the wildest

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

Amber Heard got $7,000,000 from Johnny Depp in their divorce. She said every dollar was going to charity.
Six years later, under oath: "I have not yet. Johnny sued me."

They married in 2015. She filed 15 months later. The settlement: $7 million. "6.8, exactly," she says.

Her statement: "money played no role." Half to the ACLU, half to Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

In 2018 she wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post. It never named Johnny. He sued her for $50 million.

At trial, the ACLU's lawyer said it had received $1.3 million of its $3.5 million. $350,000 came directly from Amber. The ACLU believed $500,000 came from Elon Musk.

She had testified that the entirety "was donated."
Now: "I use pledge and donation synonymous with one another."

June 2022, the jury: $10.35 million to Johnny, $2 million to Amber.
She settled for $1 million. Johnny gave all of it to five charities.

In the video below, photographers ask her in 2016 if she feels "redeemed" by the charity money. Then listen for how she explains a pledge: "When you say you buy a house..."

The case for Amber: she pledged it, and his lawsuit came before she could finish paying.
The case for Johnny: she said under oath it was "donated," and the charities got a fraction.

Did she lie about the $7 million, or did he stop her from paying?

Machine Gun Kelly pulled Kelly Kay out of Logan Paul's party and did her on the back of Logan's G-Wagon. Standing up.
Years later, she says she still has the hemorrhoid to prove it.

In the video below, she tells the full story. She calls it the craziest one she has.

It was the 100th episode of Impulsive, Logan's podcast.

She'd recorded voice bits for their soundboard, so they invited her. She didn't really know anyone there.

The guest that day? MGK. Nobody had planned it.

After the show it turned into a party at Logan's house. MGK pulled her outside.

He had one text he always sent her when he wanted her to come over. She says it was their version of "Netflix and chill."

That night there was no bed. Just the back of Logan Paul's G-Wagon, standing up.

Then she walked straight back into the party.

A couple of days later the hemorrhoid showed up. She says she still carries the cream with her.

"I love you, but you f*cked up my a**hole for life."

Why did she go along with it?

"I liked it because he liked it. I'll kind of do anything for my man."

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

@Scratcherrrr the story is messy but her vibe is good

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

"I'm a f*cking rock star and I want five b*tches around me at all times."
That's what Machine Gun Kelly texted Kelly Kay when he ended things with her.

In the video below, she tells the story for the first time. She says she'd barely even told her best friends.

She says they dated for years before he blew up. Back then, he was "a famous failing rapper."

By the time of this interview he was a rock star dating Megan Fox. Kelly says Megan is from a town over from where she grew up.

One night after the Super Bowl she met him at LIV. He told her he was going to write a song about that night.

She says he did. It's a Jack Harlow remix on his reels.

But she'd get jealous. At one of his shows, surrounded by groupies, she drank whiskey and started crying.

His answer: "I just have to provide for the party."

His text said she was "wife material." That was the problem.

Would she ever date a celebrity again?

"No. There's just too much."

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

@Pannebaker90678 the "i just have to provide for the party" line is wild

@the_ethan_cross yeah. the tattoo is the receipt. everything else was content.

JAKE PAUL flew SKY BRI to Puerto Rico the day after his breakup with Julia Rose - and told her the whole thing was for clout, according to Sky Bri. 💀

She says she already knew him. Then Julia was out, and he hit her up.

In the video below, she tells the story herself.

The very first night, he flew her to Puerto Rico.

The very first conversation was about clout.

He wanted her to post it. She says he wanted to make Julia mad.

"I knew that's what it was," she says. "It was very mutual."

She had never been to Puerto Rico. She said she'd come if she could bring her best friend.

He was into both of them.

Then he pitched it: "Let's just do like a three-way relationship."

They got each other's names tattooed.

Hers is still there. Guys she's with now tell her to get it lasered off.

What Jake did with his tattoo is the part that says everything.

@auren_xbt friend came back with burns and quaaludes. cash stayed behind

[coldfloat @coldfloatrp]

Jordan Belfort says he lost his yacht and his private plane in the same 10 days.
He had about $250,000 in cash on the boat. His friend went back for the quaaludes instead.

In the video below, from a 2010 interview, Belfort tells the story himself, three years before The Wolf of Wall Street came out.

It was 1996. He says he was already "four or five ludes deep" at the airport, and spent $80,000 on a new wardrobe for his wife on the way.

The yacht was the Nadine, named after his wife. "It was Coco Chanel's boat," he says.

The captain didn't want to go: 100 miles of open sea in a storm. Belfort: "Let's go."

A 50-foot rogue wave flipped the boat. The front porthole gave way, and it started sinking.

Six hours later the Italian Navy sent a helicopter. To make room for it to land, they pushed Belfort's own helicopter off the deck.

"We can only take what we can carry," the captain said. Belfort had "like a quarter million in cash on the boat," plus artwork and jewelry.

He sent his friend Rob back down. Not for the cash. For the drugs.

Rob came back from the flooded, electrified cabin with a bag of 100 quaaludes and third-degree burns on his feet.

Then they got to the airport. No private jet. It had crashed on takeoff, he says, after a seagull flew into the engine. The pilots survived.

"You think I would have taken this as a sign that I should calm down... But I didn't, because I was addicted to drugs."

In 1999 he pleaded guilty to securities fraud. He was ordered to pay $110 million back to the investors he defrauded.

A yacht and a plane in 10 days. What would it have taken for you to stop?

Tom Dwan put $1.55 million into one pot with a single pair of queens.
It became the biggest pot in televised poker history: $3.1 million.

In the video below, he explains why he was sure Wesley didn't have aces.

The game was Hustler Casino Live's $1,000,000 buy-in game in 2023. Wesley bought in for $3,000,000, more than anyone at the table.

Wesley had ace-king. He bet $125,000 on the flop, $350,000 on the turn, and his last $786,000 on the river. Dwan called every time.

Dwan says he picked up two of the biggest live reads ever on TV in that one 8-hour session. He didn't spend them on small pots. He filed them "in the back of my brain" and waited.

"If he could have read my mind, he should have just run out of the casino and never bet another chip."

Wesley tweeted after: "Sorry it didn't work out. 3.1M pot bluff. Biggest bluff in poker history."

The same man who won $3.1M on camera has been accused by 3 players of owing them money. Peter Jetten says $226,000. Haralabos Voulgaris says $350,000. Dan "Jungleman" Cates says about $1,300,000. Dwan denies owing Jetten and Voulgaris.

Poker genius, or the best player nobody wants to lend to?
