Megan Thee Stallion sued for harassment, creating a hostile work environment

Publish date: 2024-05-01

Megan Thee Stallion probably parties like a rock star at times, but I get the sense that in recent years, she’s been more organized and living a pretty clean lifestyle. She works out a lot, she eats healthy, she’s always recording and working. But, as I said, I’m sure she still has rock star moments because she is, in fact, a total rock star. Apparently, Megan had a rock star moment in the back of an SUV in Ibiza, and now her former cameraman/videographer is suing her.

A former cameraman for Megan Thee Stallion who alleges that he was trapped inside a moving vehicle with the hip-hop star in a foreign country while she had sex with a woman has filed a lawsuit accusing the entertainer of harassment and a hostile work environment.

Emilio Garcia said in the suit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court that after the alleged incident he was warned, “don’t ever discuss what you saw,” and berated, fat-shamed and treated differently by Megan. The “harassment was so severe or pervasive” that it created a “hostile, abusive work environment” that made Garcia’s “working conditions intolerable,” the suit said.

“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,” an attorney for Megan Thee Stallion, Alex Spiro, said Tuesday.

Garcia began working for Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, as a personal cameraman in 2018, quit his job in 2019 to pursue the gig with the Grammy winner full time and worked for her until June 2023, the lawsuit stated. Garcia said in the lawsuit that he traveled with Megan to Ibiza, Spain, in June 2022 and that while in an SUV with Megan and three other women after a night out, Megan and one of the women began to have sex next to him in the moving car.

“I felt uncomfortable. I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked. At kind of just be the overall audacity to do this right, right beside me,” Garcia told NBC News in an interview.

Yeah, I don’t know what to say here? This guy might have a case but Megan’s lawyer clearly doesn’t think so. If Garcia’s claims are true – a big IF – then sure, I could see how he could have a case. Trapped in a car with women having sex with each other – that’s incredibly uncomfortable and unprofessional in a work setting and could be traumatizing. That being said, I read some of Garcia’s other claims, like Megan allegedly calling him “fat,” and I don’t know, that stuff doesn’t sound like Megan whatsoever. Which makes me wonder about the most salacious aspects of his case.
