Megan Thee Stallion sued for forcing cameraman to watch her have sex
Emilio Garcia, the former cameraman of Megan Thee Stallion, the US rapper, has filed a lawsuit against her over alleged sexual harassment.
According to NBC News, Garcia started working for the rapper as her cameraman in 2018 and remained in the role full-time until June 2023.
In the suit filed through his lawyers in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, Garcia claimed he was “forced to watch Megan have sex with a woman”.
He said the incident allegedly happened inside a moving vehicle in 2022 when they travelled to Ibiza, Spain.
Garcia said he was “shocked by the overall audacity” of the rapper to “do this right beside me”.
He said he was left feeling “embarrassed, mortified and offended” after the incident.
In the suit, Garcia claimed during the trip, he was “taunted about my weight” and Megan made “fat-shaming comments” about him.
He alleged that the rapper told him to “spit your food out” and “you don’t need to be eating”.
The suit claimed Megan’s behaviour “created a hostile and abusive work environment” for Garcia, “making the conditions of his employment intolerable”.
“After a night out, plaintiff, Stallion and three other women were riding in a SUV together,” the lawsuit reads.
“Suddenly, Stallion and one of the other women start having sex right beside the plaintiff.
“Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country.”
The lawsuit includes allegations of breaches of employment law for which Garcia is seeking financial compensation.
He also claimed he missed out on healthcare benefits after his role was “misclassified” as an independent contractor.
Garcia alleged that after the trip, he was told by Megan’s management, Roc Nation, that his services were no longer required.
He claimed that the termination of his employment was “in retaliation for my complaints of wage and hour violations”.
“More than once, Stallion interrupted plaintiff during dinner and demanded that he immediately shift his focus to assist with her TikTok creative ideas,” the suit reads.
Reacting to the lawsuit, Alex Spiro, Megan’s attorney, described it as “salacious accusations”.
“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,” Spiro said.

Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.
When asked if he was in a relationship, the 35-year-old Virginia-born artiste replied, “I am in multiple”.

The award-winning singer also emphasized the importance of transparency and honesty in maintaining his polygamous relationships.
“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.
This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.
In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.
“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.
“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”
Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

Davido advises black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria, says ‘the economy is in shambles’
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.
Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
