Megan Thee Stallion is denying scathing allegations made about her in a new harassment lawsuit filed against her on Tuesday.
“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” the rap superstar’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, tells Page Six exclusively Tuesday. “We will deal with this in court.”
Emilio Garcia filed the complaint on Monday and alleged that Megan, 29, “subjected him to sexual harassment,” “fat-shamed” him and “failed to pay him properly in violation of numerous labor codes,” according to legal documents.
On or around June 2022, plaintiff was traveling on tour with Stallion in Ibiza, Spain. After a night out, plaintiff, Stallion, and three other women were riding in a SUV together. Suddenly, Stallion and one of the other women start having sex right beside plaintiff,” the filing claims.
“Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was both moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country. Plaintiff was embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the whole ordeal,” it continues. “The following day, Stallion inquired whether the plaintiff was in the SUV the previous night. Plaintiff confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, Stallion instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’”
The suit adds, “Stallion berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards plaintiff such as ‘Fat bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and ‘You don’t need to be eating.'”
According to the filing, Garcia began working with Megan in July 2018 as her personal cameraman and he was not given essential healthcare, proper wages and overtime pay. He was also allegedly forced to work more than eight hours and denied breaks for rest and meals.
Garcia was subsequently terminated in June 2023 and believes it was in retaliation for his complaints.
He is also suing Megan Thee Stallion Entertainment, Inc., Hot Girl Touring, LLC, and Roc Nation.
Garcia is seeking damages for unpaid wages, interest on the amount of unpaid wages and other employee benefits at the prevailing legal rate, unpaid wages at overtime wage rates, restitution and legal fees.
