According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, Megan Thee Stallion forced her cameraman Emilio Garcia to watch her having sex in a moving car. Garcia claims that the incident was part of a campaign of harassment that also included fat shaming him. The suit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that the incident took place in June of 2022 when Garcia, who worked as a personal photographer to the star, was on tour with her. “Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was both moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country,” says the suit. “Plaintiff was embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the whole ordeal.” The suit also claims that Megan Thee Stallion told Garcia not to talk about what he had seen, and that she would often call him fat and tell him that he ate too much. Garcia’s suit says that the 29-year-old star began employing him in 2018, but classified him as an independent contractor rather than an employee. That meant he was not eligible for benefits such as health care or overtime pay, which could have run into the six figures. The suit claims Garcia was contracted to work eight-hour days, but was required to take calls from Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, outside those times and to perform other tasks without being given proper breaks. The suit, which alleges retaliation and multiple state Labour Code violations, names as defendants Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Thee Stallion Entertainment, Inc., Hot Girl Touring LLC, and Roc Nation. Garcia is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. “Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behaviour and quit this sort of sexual harassment and fat shaming conduct,” said Zambrano. Entertainment outlet Page Six cited Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyer Alex Spiro as denying the allegations. “This is an employment claim for money – with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” the lawyer told the outlet. “We will deal with this in court.” Last year, Canadian rapper Tory Lanez was jailed for 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet during a drunken argument after a Hollywood party.
