Megan Thee Stallion In Her Words: A Journey of Resilience and Self-Discovery
Megan Thee Stallion’s documentary is one of the most emotional portrayals of mental health awareness and self-prioritization. It offers a raw, unfiltered look not only into Megan Thee Stallion but into Megan Pete as a person.
Throughout the documentary, we see the range of emotions Megan experiences as she shares her struggles, trials, and triumphs. Megan built a strong support system inspired by her late mother and grandmother. When her father returned to her life, they developed a strong bond, and he helped shape her rapping style. The loss of her father was one of the hardest moments in her life. She didn’t allow herself to feel the full weight of the grief, focusing on being strong for her mother instead. Megan speaks about her mother’s central role in her life, both as a guiding force in her career and as a source of unwavering love. Losing her mother so suddenly devastated Megan, even as her career continued to rise. She buried herself in work without processing her grief, which eventually brought people into her life who didn’t have her best interests at heart.
The documentary also reveals the traumatic night when she was shot by Tory Lanez, an event that changed her life. Megan discusses her former closeness with Kelsey, showing clips of Kelsey speaking about how much Megan’s mother meant to her. It was clear that Kelsey wanted to support Megan, so it deeply hurt Megan to learn that Kelsey continued associating with the man who shot her and wasn’t willing to speak up about that night. This betrayal affected her deeply. Once again, Megan tried to avoid processing her grief and trauma, instead pouring herself into work until she could no longer ignore the toll it took. She eventually took a month-long mental break, allowing her to rebuild herself and set healthier priorities. She emerged from her sabbatical stronger, even as she faced the stress of testifying against Tory Lanez. The lack of support from other rap stars, especially men, combined with online harassment, only made the situation more difficult. It was distressing to see how many people blamed her or refused to acknowledge her pain.
Megan ultimately lost nearly all of her core support system, relying mostly on her cousin, who remains a strong source of support. Despite the success she’s achieved, she has faced continuous backlash and challenges from people who seem intent on undermining her.
This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Megan Thee Stallion—Megan Pete—allows viewers to see her raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically herself. You witness her struggles, her success, her pain, and her process of rebuilding. I highly recommend this documentary to gain insight into the woman behind the name Megan Thee Stallion and to see the person that is Megan Pete.
