It seems like Dez Bryant manages to piss off the Internet at least once a month.
On Thursday afternoon, an unsubstantiated report went viral claiming that charges against Tory Lanez, who is facing 22 years in prison after being accused of shooting ex-girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion in July, were dropped.

The report was later debunked after becoming the top trend on Twitter.
a rep for Tory Lanez says it is NOT TRUE that charges against him in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting were dropped: “The blog that posted this info is wrong. I assume the docket hasn't been updated … The next hearing date is in mid-February.”

Tory Lanez charges aren’t dropped. Him nor his team has anything to do with the confusion of ppl thinking they were. Courts rescheduled cases that had a hearing date of 1/20 because of the inauguration and due to a clerical error it appeared like it was dropped or dismissed

Bryant, who is a fan of Lanez, took to Twitter to celebrate the false report about charges being dropped in the case.
🙏🏿 salute to a real 1 @torylanez

Eventually, Bryant figured out the report was false but still defended Lanez because he was waiting for all the facts to come out.
I like Tory lanez music the man jam period.. if the man shot a woman he wrong no buts about it… but if you think I’m going to dislike somebody without the facts.. go ahead and hate me… social media has taking away a lot of people self control..

People immediately blasted Bryant over his take on Lanez.
You could’ve just not spoken on it at all until all of the facts came out but okay….s/o to a “real one” I guess.
