Explosive Lawsuit filed Against Megan Thee Stallion for Sexual Harassment and Workplace Claims
In a shocking development, a former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, who previously worked with the iconic rapper Megan Thee Stallion, has recently filed a lawsuit accusing her of sexual harassment and various workplace-related claims. The lawsuit, brought against both Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Pete, and her companies, Megan Thee Stallion Entertainment, Inc., Hot Girl Touring, LLC, and Roc Nation, alleges nine labor code violations, including harassment and hostile work environments.
Allegations of Disturbing Behavior During Tour
According to Garcia, the incident took place during a tour in Spain in June 2022 when Megan Thee Stallion engaged in sexual activity in a moving car that Garcia couldn’t escape from. The claim asserts that Garcia felt embarrassed, mortified, and deeply offended throughout the entire ordeal. The following day, Stallion allegedly warned Garcia not to discuss what he had witnessed, indicating an attempted cover-up.
Megan Thee Stallion’s Offensive Comments Towards Garcia
Garcia’s lawsuit also highlights instances of Megan Thee Stallion’s alleged fat-shaming and verbal abuse. During the same trip to Spain, Garcia claims the Grammy-winning rapper ridiculed him for being overweight, calling him a “Fat Bitch” and telling him to “Spit your food out.” Such derogatory language and behavior in the workplace are highly unprofessional and unacceptable.
Misclassification as Independent Contractor and Unpaid Compensation
Moreover, Garcia claims that he was wrongly classified as an independent contractor, depriving him of essential benefits such as healthcare and overtime pay. The lawsuit further alleges that Garcia was denied proper compensation, as his payment structure was changed from a fixed monthly rate to a pay-per-task system, resulting in a significant pay cut. Garcia asserts that this adjustment did not accurately reflect the fair amount of time and effort he dedicated to his work.
Retaliation for Complaints and Termination
Garcia maintains that his contract was terminated in 2023 as a form of retaliation for raising complaints regarding his mistreatment and unpaid wages. Such a hostile work environment and the subsequent termination have clearly taken a toll on Garcia’s mental and physical health, leading to mounting anxiety, depression, and distress, as stated in the lawsuit.
Response from Megan Thee Stallion’s Attorney
In response to the allegations, Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has dismissed the claims of sexual harassment and emphasized that this is primarily an employment dispute for monetary compensation. Spiro asserts that the inclusion of explicit allegations aims to tarnish the rapper’s image.
