Megan Thee Stallion has received an open letter of support from leaders denouncing violence against women. Shared by the Southern Black Girls & Women’s Consortium alongside influential leaders, the letter expresses support for Megan. Individuals who signed the letter include Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), Chairwoman of the House Financial Services, MeToo founder Tarana Burke, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Chair, House Judiciary Crime Committee (Tx. 18th), and musician Ethel Cian.
The letter read, “You’ve consistently been clear about what happened to you, but instead of being met with widespread support, people who should have had your back have chosen to stay out of the matter.” The letter continued, “You don’t deserve any of this, Megan. You deserve to be heard, to be believed, and most importantly, to be safe. There is no amount of power or prestige that can prevent a woman from becoming a victim of violence and there is no level of achievement that exempts women from our society’s complacency with that violence.”
