A former cameraman for rap starMegan Thee Stallionissuingher for harassment and for creating a “hostile, abusive work environment,” according to documents obtained byNBC News. Emilio Garcia told NBC that he worked for the star, whose real name is Megan Pete, starting in 2018 through June 2023.

Megan denied the allegations soon after, with her attorney, Alex Spiro, tellingPage Six:“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.”

Oh, the drama! Megan Thee Stallion has found herself in a bit of a sticky situation, as her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, has accused her of creating a hostile work environment. Garcia alleges that during a trip to Ibiza in June 2022, he was forced to watch Megan Thee Stallion engage in sexual activity with another woman while trapped inside a moving vehicle. That’s a lot to unpack, both literally and figuratively.

Adding fuel to the fire, Garcia also claims that after the incident, Megan Thee Stallion allegedly fat-shamed him and made comments about his eating habits. He further alleges that his pay structure was changed following the incident, leading to a significant decrease in his earnings. Garcia has filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, Roc Nation, and other related entities, claiming various labor law violations, including failure to provide meal and rest breaks, unpaid overtime, and retaliation for his complaints.

Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team, however, has denied the allegations, with her attorney, Alex Spiro, calling them “salacious accusations to embarrass her.” He further clarified that no sexual harassment claim has been filed, and the lawsuit is an employment claim for money. The legal battle is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen how this saga will unfold.

In the meantime, let’s not forget the golden rule of entertainment: there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Right?

Garcia alleged that things went downhill for him after he was forced to watch Pete have sex while trapped inside a moving vehicle with her and an unidentified woman in 2022, after he accompanied the star to Ibiza, Spain.

He expanded on the experience in an interview with NBC News, in which he said, “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.”

The former employee said that the experience left him feeling “degraded.” He also said in the suit that after the vehicle incident, the rapper treated him differently. According to Garcia via NBC, she told him “don’t ever discuss what you saw,” that day in the car. After that, Garcia said that she fat-shamed him and made comments about how he needed to “spit his food out” and called him a “fat bitch.”

He expressed his surprise at hearing these things from “someone who advocates about loving your body,” and added that the “harassment was so severe or pervasive” that the working conditions became “intolerable.” To make matters worse, in addition to the treatment, according to Garcia’s filing, his pay was also affected. He alleged that he was downgraded from a monthly flat rate to being paid per task, and had an overall decrease in work requests from the rapper.

Garcia said he considered leaving his post but was let go by Pete’s labelRoc Nation, on her behalf, before he could do so. His suit also mentions that Garcia felt wrongly classified as an independent contractor, which caused him to miss out on healthcare benefits. The suit said he now suffers from “mounting anxiety, depression, and physical distress,” as a result of working for Pete. He is now seeking more than six figures in damages.
