- Meghan Thee Stallion is in trouble
- She is being accused of sexual abuse
- Here are the details behind the allegations
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Megan Thee Stallion finds herself at the center of a controversial lawsuit filed by her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia. The legal battle, which has taken the celebrity world by storm, involves accusations of a hostile work environment, harassment, and an incident that sounds like it's straight out of a Hollywood script!
The Allegations Unfold!
According to the lawsuit lodged in Los Angeles Superior Court, Garcia alleges being trapped in a moving vehicle while Megan engaged in sexual activities with another woman. The claim paints a picture of a work environment fraught with tension, as Garcia recounts being warned to keep silent about what he witnessed.
The aftermath? A supposedly altered treatment by the "Savage" hitmaker, leading to what Garcia describes as intolerable working conditions.
In response to the allegations, Megan Thee Stallion's legal eagle, Alex Spiro, didn't mince words, stating, "This is an employment claim for money – with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court."
It's clear that Megan's team is ready to battle these claims head-on, promising a courtroom showdown that's sure to grab headlines.
Garcia's lawsuit details a specific incident during a trip to Ibiza in June 2022, where he felt "uncomfortable" and "shocked" by Megan's alleged actions in an SUV. But the accusations don't stop there. Garcia also accuses Megan of fat-shaming him, an allegation that stands in stark contrast to the rapper's public advocacy for body positivity.
The cameraman also alleges that during the same trip, Megan fat-shamed him by calling him a "fat b****" and telling him to "spit your food out" as "you don’t need to be eating".
"To hear someone who advocates about loving your body tell me these things,” Garcia told NBC, "I felt degraded."
He says that he then saw a decrease in the jobs he was being hired to do. The night before a job in June 2023 he says he was notified by Megan’s management company, Roc Nation, that "his services would no longer be required".
The lawsuit goes on to claim that Garcia was subjected to "a barrage of relentless sexual and fat-shaming comments", which caused the photographer "profound emotional distress".
The fallout from these allegations has been significant for Garcia, who claims a noticeable decline in work opportunities before being cut loose by Megan's management company.
The emotional and professional toll on Garcia has been immense, with the lawsuit highlighting the severe impact on his mental and physical health.
