This is unfortunate how they ended up BUT both things can be true:
Meg is an alcoholic 304 (remember she’s young and fine as hell and lost her mom/grandma in short succession-within a year or two iirc)
AND
Tory is guilty. These aren’t related, and in fact Meg initially lied and said Tory didn’t shoot her.*
With respect to Pardi, I get feeling played BUT Meg was so obviously out there-he may not have known all the deets or specific names but she was video/live streaming G Eazy lick her face in her red hair era I believe, and she and Tory were clearly fukking. They posted many lives of very intimate playfulness. All the other names and such, a surprise sure but let’s not act like she didn’t present a certain image, music aside. Even if she ended up saying it for attention/sales, it’s blatant.
