Megan Thee Stallion is accused of harassment and creating a “hostile, abusive work environment” by a former cameraman who has worked previously with big hip-hop star. Cameraman filed lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, names Megan Pete (the rapper’s real name) and Megan Thee Stallion Entertainment, Inc., Hot Girl Touring, LLC, and Roc Nation as defendants.
This alleged charged on star of violations of several labour codes and also alleges that she never compensated properly for his work. The cameraman named Emilio Garcia was hired by the star in July 2018 and misclassified as an independent contractor. He was also refused him by for the protections under California law, including health care and overtime pay.
Megan’s attorney claimed that the cameraman just wanted to extort money. He also said that the star has already changed its compensation structure to a pay according to task system in August, 2022. But Gracia denied this by alleging that time expectations and demands of work remained the same while pay decreased significantly. He also claimed that Megan has denied him from working with other clients.
“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,” Meghan’s attorney Alex Spiro refuted the claims.
Garcia alleges that while riding in an SUV with three other women, Megan and one of the women “having sex right beside” him.
The ex-cameraman claims that the “could not get out of the car as it was both moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country” and felt “embarrassed, mortified, and offended throughout the whole ordeal.”
“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. It remains unclear if Megan knew that Garcia was in the same vehicle at the time.
