Megan Thee Stallion is facing a lawsuit from Emilio Garcia, a former tour videographer, who claims she fostered a hostile work environment. Garcia alleges that during the European leg of her tour, he was pressured to witness sexual activity involving the artist.
Megan’s attorneys have pushed back, demanding evidence to support these claims, which have remained unverified for over a year. Alex Spiro, her lawyer, emphasized in a motion reported by Billboard: “The plaintiff continues to lack any evidentiary backing for his sensationalized and unfounded accusations… He can no longer rely on assumptions of truth for allegations disconnected from factual basis.” The filing signals the team’s insistence that Garcia’s allegations are unsubstantiated.
Garcia contends that he lost his job as a result of the alleged incident, while Megan maintains her innocence. The legal motion suggests that any purported misconduct is baseless and points to Garcia’s derogatory messages as a possible factor in his termination rather than valid workplace complaints.
Involvement of Roc Nation
The dispute extends beyond Megan personally, touching Roc Nation, the management company founded by Jay-Z. Garcia has filed additional lawsuits against the company, prompting Roc Nation to seek dismissal on grounds that the legal action places undue financial and operational strain on the organization.
Ron Zambrano, Garcia’s attorney, commented on the case, stating, “This is typical behavior from celebrities when faced with lawsuits. They avoid settlement and resolution. Instead of reflecting on their own responsibility towards employees affected by their actions, they spend considerable sums on public relations and legal teams to safeguard their image.”
