Megan Thee Stallion’s Lawyer Responds To Harassment Allegations
Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyer has responded the the harassment claims filed by the rap star’s former cameraman. In a statement shared with Page Six, Alex Spiro rejects Emilo Garcia’s claims.
“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” Spiro said. “We will deal with this in court.”
Garcia claims that while in a foreign country with Megan, he was trapped in the moving car and forced to watch her have sex with a woman. Garcia and Megan were traveling from Ibiza, Spain, in June 2022 when, after a night out, the rapper and three women came back in the SUV. Garcia claims that Megan and one of the women began having sex next to him in the car.
“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.
According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX: “The following day, STALLION inquired whether 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.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.'”

He claims that while working for Megan, he “endured a barrage of relentless sexual and fat-shaming comments plunging him into profound emotional distress,” the suit said.
In June 2023, he was let go from the position after considering quitting due to lack of bookings and “possessiveness combined with a lack of appropriate pay for the amount of time asked of him,” the suit states. In June, Roc Nation, who manages the rap star, told him that “his services would no longer be required” by Megan, according to the lawsuit, even though he was booked for a gig that month.
Due to working with the “Savage” rapper, he claims that he now “grapples with mounting anxiety, depression, and physical distress stemming from the toxic work environment,” according to the suit.
Garcia is seeking “unpaid wages, as well as interest on the unpaid wages, unpaid overtime wages, and other employee benefits at the legal rate. He is also seeking statutory penalties and wage penalties pursuant to California labor laws, punitive damages according to proof, and costs he incurred, including attorneys’ fees,” according to the suit. The amount Garcia is requesting will be more than six figures.
