How are you, a woman who has publicly accused your ex of abuse, going to bat for a man who abused another woman.

[–]Jorge_Santos69 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Who did she say abused her?

[–]HerRoyalRedness 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Playboi Carti

[–]amomentintimebro 2360 points2361 points  (19 children)

Wanting prison reform is good! Going to bat for this specific case and this specific person because “prison reform” is what isn’t adding up for me.

Of all the prisoners in all the prisons in America, the guy who shot a woman because he thinks she’s a whore is the one you feel so passionately shouldn’t spend too much time in prison you feel compelled to ask for a lenient sentence?

[–]m_zayd 793 points794 points  (6 children)

exactly. people are using prison reform and rehabilitation as a cloak to hide their blatant misogynoir.

also,,,ever notice how it's never "i need to hear both sides" when a guy claims a woman did xyz but as soon as a woman comes forth with any sort of allegation, everybody wanna be devil's advocate

[–]amomentintimebro 224 points225 points  (2 children)

1000%. I would love to know how many other times iggy has championed prison reform since this seems to matter so much to her.

[–]beaute-brune 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I know soooo many men that were “let’s review the facts first” and “these rich Black men are clearly being targeted” for Jonathan Majors and Tory Lanez, amongst others. But the moment Lizzo broke, they were somehow so unsurprised and “makes sense.”

[–]totallycalledla-aTotal Betty 237 points238 points  (1 child)

This isnt even prison reform. Prison reform is making the prison system better and making sure they actually rehabilitate (which they currently do not) so they are more effective, people spend less time in there and actually have a good chance of not reoffending. Genuine threats to society getting less time in prison is not prison reform.

Source: I spend a lot of time on actual prison reform related projects.

[–]mamacitalk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think she’s probably had entanglements with him

[–]RangerDangerfield 36 points37 points  (0 children)

And if her letter was solely about prison reform/fair sentencing, then why not share the letter for everyone to see?

[–]TokioJamWho gon' check me boo? 922 points923 points  (0 children)

Yeah whatever butters your toast

Edit: I hope that oompa loompa looking ass will rot in jail!!! Justice for Meg

[–]HumbleBell 1141 points1142 points  (4 children)

So she’s cool with supporting him privately to the judge, but she’s upset now that people have found out she wrote a letter for him? Sorry Iggy, you are who you are when no one is looking. And you’re an asshole.

[–]big-bootyjewdy 273 points274 points  (0 children)

That's what got me, too. You haven't spoken to him in forever but still felt comfortable writing a character statement? I felt weird doing that for my mom's bff's son that I literally grew up with, let alone a colleague or coworker in the industry.

She was all about calling out abusers when she, a white woman, was a victim. She'd rather take the side of someone who assaulted another woman (a black woman, one of the most targeted demographics for domestic violence) than believe other women, which she preached herself, because she worked on an album with this dude last year. Absolute assholery.

And before anyone says anything, I am white myself. Race does play a part in social dynamics, especially when the criminal justice system is involved.

[–]Dani_California 116 points117 points  (0 children)

💯💯💯 BINGO.

”Oops, you weren’t supposed to see this! Something something prison reform! Why are you so obsessed with me?!”

Fucking Igloo Australia always poking her naurs in

[–]Not_today_nibs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

💀💀

[–]NortherSassListen, everyone is entitled to my opinion 337 points338 points  (1 child)

Ma’am. It was a violent crime involving a firearm. The overarching need for rehabilitative justice and prison reform does not mean giving slaps on the wrists for violent/firearm offenses 🙃

[–]Wonton_soup_1989 610 points611 points  (5 children)

“3, I was told it’s for a judge only” aka I had no problem throwing my support behind him getting out as long as no one finds out abt it🙄

[–]mrbarrie421 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Exactly 🙄🫠

[–][deleted] 466 points467 points  (4 children)

Has anyone picked her yet

[–]tobleachornot 275 points276 points  (3 children)

She thought Playboi Carti was going to, but he just made her a single mom, so I guess this is what she’s doing now

[–]Jorge_Santos69 41 points42 points  (2 children)

He also abused the shit out of her and other women while they were pregnant

[–]caprising1996You’re a virgin who can’t drive. 😤 795 points796 points  (1 child)

iggy, do you realize he could have killed her??? the sentencing maximum is so high because he literally could have murdered her!!!

[–]eldritchonline 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's actually fucking ridiculous and then to say the case is fully oddities. What exactly are implying if not that you think Meg is lying with a statement like that??

[–]Bbychknwing 415 points416 points  (3 children)

I see iggy is still drinking that dumb bitch juice

[–]almostasquibb 57 points58 points  (0 children)

[–]soontobemrscool 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Yeah whatever girl. You are just upset that you got caught. Trash!!!!!

[–]theunkindpanda 294 points295 points  (2 children)

She’s a bird and always has been. Not sure why anyone expected this culture vulture to have a good take.

[–]BRzil 140 points141 points  (1 child)

Exactly lmao this woman has never liked black women

[–]BettyAnnaliseScream Queen 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Celebrities being on Twitter and learning words like “prison reform” and “restorative justice” but having absolutely no clue what they mean and then using them to defend abusers is the new bane of my existence.

I swear to god if one of them tweets from their Beverly Hills mansion that ‘Bill Cosby being released from prison was good actually bc the prison industrial complex is bad :/‘ I’m getting a lobotomy.

This is so mindnumbingly stupid.

[–]luanda16 49 points50 points  (1 child)

The audacity to stick up for a man who shot a fellow female rapper when she should know firsthand how deeply held the misogyny is in the industry. But black women continue to be disrespected. Iggy is shitty for this, idc

[–]totallycalledla-aTotal Betty 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in the prison reform sphere....this is not prison reform 🥴.

[–]gogostopnogo_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Igloo Australia at it again 🙃

[–]icyruios 37 points38 points  (4 children)

[–]gribble29The eyes are the nipples of the face 47 points48 points  (2 children)

Bianca would absolutely make her cry, and she deserves it.

[–]icyruios 33 points34 points  (1 child)

I mean honestly what does Iggy Azelea do successfully? Quickly

[–]just_reading_along1 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Be racist.

[–]amomentintimebro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just to keep going on drag race here, Trixie Mattel keeps the absolute worst friends my god. I know she and Iggy are close ☠️

[–]MyNamesChakkaoofka 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Oop there it is. She thought it would be a secret with the judge.

[–]Traditional_Maybe_80 102 points103 points  (1 child)

Has she ever talked about prison reform before? Because from the top of my head I can only think of David Simon talking constantly about the need for prison reform (related specifically to the war on drugs), but her? Never. Also lmao at her third point, an advocate for prison reform but only if it's private! "Please don't tell people about it, I just know about pizza toppings lololol!"

Her whole attitude is so dismissive of Megan's experience, because this whole didn't even end with that man shooting her, but the subsequent mocking she suffered.

[–]Talisa87 144 points145 points  (4 children)

Australian Igloo should've stayed out of it.

[–]Maxine_Shaw 93 points94 points  (3 children)

No such thing.

Mayonnaise poured into a Kardashian cat suit, yes.

[–]toastslapperDo it! Slap me, Bitch and wa… 21 points22 points  (1 child)

It’s too early for me to be cry-laughing like this!

I love how creative people are with their insults lmao

[–]ItsMinnieYall 65 points66 points  (0 children)

"I want to support people who commit violence about black women but I didn't want the public to find out".

🤮

[–]iamharoldshipman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

[–]layla_jones_ 33 points34 points  (1 child)

‘It’s really not that interesting’ - Iggy you wrote a letter for a judge to support a person who committed a crime, it’s a big deal. Pizza toppings? It’s all a joke huh?!

[–]watchberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She just wants the criticism of her to blow over but is just putting her foot in her mouth tbh

[–]AtypicalbirdI’ve been noticing gravity since I was very young 31 points32 points  (1 child)

White woman dismissing a black woman's experience because it's different from her own. . . Well I never. . .

Wasn't Iggy up in arms when she was treated poorly by numerous men? Not getting shot by them mind you- but for being mistreated (which isn't okay either). But when a black woman is shot in the foot running away? There are QUESTIONS to be answered!

And LMAO at the prison reform comment. Is that energy being used for people being stuck in Rikers for years at a time with no charges and no court dates? No? Just rich people? Of all people, bitch ass tory is the one who needs advocacy? Pathetic.

[–]Left-Requirement9267 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Preach sis!

[–]diskoboxx 19 points20 points  (0 children)

[–]PrinceTamaki1 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Oddities? Ma’am, he shot someone. BFFR.

[–]somegirlontheinteryou shoulda never called me a fat ass kelly price[S] 76 points77 points  (13 children)

oh yeah and this

<image>

[–]BubblyDirection8968 213 points214 points  (3 children)

Shootin someone for feeling disrespected or whatever merits more than 5+ in prison.

Guns arent fucking toys and being wreckless with one isnt a joke.

[–]woahtheregonnagetgot 134 points135 points  (1 child)

also the fact that he continued to harass her in his songs and tried to stage rush her with that bum dababy is why i hope he gets the full 13 years. it’s not just the shooting, it’s the way he continuously victimized her over and over again

[–]amomentintimebro 135 points136 points  (0 children)

SHOOTING A WOMAN doesn’t warrant 5 years in prison?!?!

Again out of alllll the people in prison right now serving long terms for small crimes, there’s a woman in prison in Texas right now !! because she voted not knowing she wasn’t registered, Iggy wants to go to bat for only this one violent misogynist. Incredible.

[–]TarzanKitty 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If someone shot me. I would certainly want them to do 5 plus.

He took a gun and fucking shot someone. This is not a half oz of weed. He shot her.

[–]gribble29The eyes are the nipples of the face 42 points43 points  (1 child)

I wonder if she would have the same thought if she was the one in megs position?

[–]Dani_California 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Or god forbid, her child? The fucking hypocrisy

[–]layla_jones_ 32 points33 points  (1 child)

Iggy you didn’t study law. You are a rapper and worked at a hotel if I remember correctly. Now all of a sudden Iggy wants to be Kim K deciding what sentencing would be appropriate?

[–]Pigeonzlut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Iggy showing she still a clown 🤡

[–]Mundane_Roof_6754 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Go back to the outback, blackfishing Barbie

[–]aliceanonymous99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bahahahahha she didn’t think it would go public as an excuse what a piece of shit

[–]maxlulu007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

nahhhhhhhh cause she knew exactly what she was writing

[–]lusigusiWe should all know less about each other[🍰] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She’s an idiot

[–]boobiesrkoozies 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Comparing this to discussing pizza toppings is icky.

Unless I'm misreading the context here. But like....it's gross how she's acting nonchalant about it. Pizza toppings don't intentionally shoot anyone.

[–]lexies1989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amethyst, this is not the hill to die on. There are many folks who are incarcerated who are equally deserving of someone going to bat for them. Your choice of who you spoke up for here is the issue. Also your point #3 isn’t helping your case lol

[–]Oli_love90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How and why was she asked to write anything? Was she there? Are they BFFs?

[–]lemonh0ney 21 points22 points  (2 children)

she has been a problematic hwhite hwoman from the start. next.

[–]hyungwontual 5 points6 points  (3 children)

im so ootl what does she have to do with all of this? why was she asked to write a letter about what she thinks the punishment should be?

[–]amomentintimebro 15 points16 points  (2 children)

This is the sentencing trial where both sides get to present their arguments for what the jail term should be. The defense team asks people to write what are called character letters in a bid to get a lenient sentence. They asked her to do this, but she wasn’t forced to do it. He submitted a lot, I think around 70 letters. And some of his supporters spoke in court for him as well, including his father and a chaplain from the jail.

Megan also gave a statement to the judge asking for a “harsh” sentence.

I’m not sure how Iggy and Tory know each other tho sorry.

[–]Electronic-Set5594 16 points17 points  (1 child)

I'm pretty sure they were dating last year. They were spotted together a few times and he complimented her cooking and posted a photo of a gift she'd sent him. Obviously people were like why tf would she do that to Meg (who she'd been friends with in the past), and she went on an angry twitter rant where she didn't deny it and just said it was no one's business. He had also been planning to produce her next album, so they were probably working together too.

[–]amomentintimebro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my god.

Common Igloo Australia L

[–]Designer-Purchase360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These type of women play in Black women's faces ALL the TIME! If Tory shot Iggy FIRST OF ALL Hip Hop would turn on him & we know EXACTLY WHY. Second if Meg supported him if he shot Iggy Meg woulda got BLACKLASH.
Folks will jump through hoops for ANYBODY that disrespects, is violent towards or verbal downs Black women. Iggy can go STRAIGHT TO HELL for this. Make sure she puts money on his books for whatever time he gets since you GAF Iggy.

[–]Puzzleheaded_Time719 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She's so problematic. I honestly thought she was going to be so huge but she got too involved in drama and not in touring.

[–]latviank1ng 6 points7 points  (7 children)

It’s a very good response but doesn’t explain why this case in particular is the one she chooses to focus on

[–]princessbergamot 22 points23 points  (6 children)

When she said "I was told this was for a judge" it makes me think someone asked her for the letter, rather than her going out of her way. Maybe the defense team?

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

But why her? Why was she asked? It’s so random.

[–]totallycalledla-aTotal Betty 14 points15 points  (2 children)

His team will have been trying to get as many women to support him as possible. She may have been one of the only ones to take the bait because shes a pick me loser.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I wonder who else sent a letter of support 🤔

[–]totallycalledla-aTotal Betty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

70+ people 🙄

[–]Visual_Vegetable_169 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10 years!!! Sounds good! Then, he will probably be deported.

[–]Maddyherselius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh come on. If you don’t want something public, don’t do it or be SURE it will stay private. You’re a celeb and he’s a celeb and he shot a woman.

[–]HagridsSexyNippples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate how dumb these celebrities think we are. She thinks no one is going to call out her prison reform bill crap?
