Megan Thee Stallion Holds Back Tears at Documentary Premiere: “I Started to Watch a Lot of People Dehumanize Me”

As a fan who has followed Megan Thee Stallion‘s journey since her rise to fame, I can’t help but be moved by her strength and resilience. Her life story is one of triumph over adversity, and her documentary, “Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words,” offers a raw and honest glimpse into the woman behind the hot girl coach persona.


On Thursday, the Amazon Prime Video release Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Own Words offers a glimpse into the life of the Houston-based rapper, revealing both her triumphant rise to fame and the heartaches she’s faced along the way.

2019 struck a devastating blow when I lost my mom and granny within the same month. A year later, I found myself caught up in a criminal probe and public defamation after Tory Lanez was accused of shooting me in the feet. Last night at the LA premiere of the documentary, I stood before you all, struggling to hold back tears as I shared the film’s true intent from the stage inside the legendary TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Megan explained to the crowd, ‘I began seeing many people treating me inhumanely and attempting to dictate my story, so I decided to participate in the documentary. Therefore, let me simply share my truth and present it openly because all you value is authenticity. I tried to fit the mold of a typical celebrity for you, but it didn’t pan out. I am genuinely a life coach. So, get ready to encounter Megan Pete for the first time.’

Megan Thee Stallion, whose birth name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, was born in San Antonio, Texas, and later moved to Houston with her mother Holly Thomas, a rapper who went by the stage name Holly-Wood. In her speech, Megan expressed that she wouldn’t be the person she is today without Holly Thomas’s influence. Despite her mother’s advice to keep personal matters private, Megan saw this occasion as an appropriate moment to share some details about herself.

Director Nneka Onuorah is particularly thrilled for audiences to get acquainted with Megan Pete, who she refers to as “the deeply curious, vulnerable, humble little Meg.” According to Onuorah, shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, viewers will find that she’s just like everyone else. Onuorah expresses her joy for people to see the genuine person that she knows.

The process of winning Megan over so we could get to know her was no small feat, as both women agreed. “I’ve been giving Nnkea a hard time for the last three years straight,” Megan confessed at the outset. “When they initially approached me and said, ‘We’re going to create a documentary about you,’ I flatly refused,” she added.

Megan reminisced about the time when she instructed the film crew to halt their cameras upon arrival, as Onuorah subsequently started recording using her own cellphone instead.

Onuorah explained, ‘I won her confidence by investing my time and energy. She realized I wasn’t just interested in Megan Thee Stallion. Instead, I was focused on completing this movie.’ He was straightforward about that. Moreover, instead of having a large film crew, much of the filming was done personally – in her car, at her home, or any private setting. Through it all, I stayed by her side throughout the process.’

The end product is an 112-minute documentary delving into the fragile aspects of celebrity life, encompassing social media disputes, psychological challenges, the stress of achievement, and most importantly, the tenacity that paved the way for this significant milestone.

As a gamer speaking directly, let me wrap up by saying this: “Alright, fellow gamers, I couldn’t care less about the negative chatter circulating out there. I ignore the online noise, the rumors, and the accusations. What truly matters is that you witness my genuine gaming in real time. We are all authentic individuals here, and I’m genuinely grateful for each and every one of you as my supportive community.

Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words is now streaming on Prime Video.
