Megan Thee Stallion has been accused of “forcing” her former camera operator to watch her have sex.
Emilio Garcia worked with the Grammy Award winner, real name Megan Pete, in 2018. He earned around $4,000 a month from the rapper’s label, Roc Nation, originally founded by Jay-Z. But he claims things turned nightmarish in 2022 when he accompanied Megan to Ibiza on a trip.
In an alleged lawsuit obtained by The US Sun, Garcia claims he was trapped in a moving SUV along with Megan and three others, as the rapper and one of the women began to romp next to him. The cameraman claims he was “embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the whole ordeal”.

Garcia told NBC News: “I felt uncomfortable. I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked. At kind of just the overall audacity to do this right, right beside me.”
He further alleges Megan approached him the next day to ask what he had seen. He claims she told him: “Don’t ever discuss what you saw.” Garcia claims Megan then started “berating” and “hurling fat-shaming slurs at him” from that point onwards.
According to the lawsuit, Garcia claims Megan would brand him a “fat b***h”, warning him: “Spit your food out, you don’t need to be eating”. To NBC News, he said: “To hear someone who advocates about loving your body tell me these things, I felt degraded.” He accused her of lowering his wages after the incident, and making him work long hours without breaks.

Megan further asked him not to work with other artists, but allegedly decreased the number of bookings she would use his services for. And in June 2023, Garcia claims Roc Nation said his “services would no longer be required”, leading him to seek more than a six-figure sum for “unpaid wages, unpaid overtime and legal fees”.
The lawsuit claims Garcia was subjected to “profound emotional distress” and that Megan failed to provide medical insurance for her employee, meaning he is unable to receive care while he “grapples with mounting anxiety, depression, and physical distress stemming from the toxic work environment”.

In a statement, his lawyer Ron Zambrano said: “Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behaviour, and quit this sort of sexual harassment and fat-shaming conduct. Inappropriate is putting it lightly.”
However, Megan’s lawyer Alex Spiro has denied the sexual harassment claims. Speaking to Page Six, Sprio claimed: “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.”
Daily Star has contacted Megan’s representatives for comment.
