Tory Lanez allegedly called reporter Meghann Cuniff a “googly-eyed bi**h” during his bail hearing.
The journalist took to X/Twitter to explain the incident on Thursday (Sept. 14). She broke down Tory’s bail hearing live from the courtroom and detailed his reaction to his prison sentence. Meghann expressed that, as he was denied bail, he began to smile at his supporters.
“Tory Lanez is officially headed to prison. ‘The motion will be denied and proceedings concluded. Thank you,’ Judge Herriford said. Lanez grinned at his supporters, including his father and friends from the Unite the People legal services group, before being led out,” she said.
Cuniff then talked about Lanez’s disparaging remarks. She stated that Tory used his final courtroom moments to call someone out. However, she cited “conflicting remarks” as Cuniff couldn’t decipher whether or not she was named as the target.
I didn’t hear it and I’m still working to see if transcript has it, but I’ve confirmed Tory Lanez chose to use his final courtroom moments to profanely insult me, calling me “a googly eyed bitch” as he looked at gallery. Conflicting reports on whether he named me.

On Thursday (Sept. 14), the Law & Crime reporter stated that Daystar Peterson’s bail appeal was denied. Cuniff shared that his motion included signatures from representatives of Unite The People. She also revealed that his lawyer, Jose Baez, did not appear in court due to “prior commitments.”
VladTV reported in August that the Canadian rapper/singer was initially offered a four-year plea deal. However, Peterson maintained his innocence and took his case to trial. After a two-week trial, the 31-year-old was found guilty on all counts in December 2022.
Cross your fingers the court reporter got it in the transcript! Source tells me “several people in court heard it, including some of the deputies. I doubt the court reporter picked it up.” ???
