A former cameraman for Megan Thee Stallion is suing the “Hiss” rapper for harassment and a hostile work environment after allegedly being stuck in a moving car with her as she had S-3-Xwith another woman.

The alleged night in question took place in 2022 in Ibiza, Spain. Cameraman Emilio Garcia claims Megan and three other women hopped into their SUV when Meg and one of the women began having S-3-Xright next to him in the moving car.

“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,” Garcia told NBC News in an interview. He claims the “Cobra” artist asked him the following day if he was in the car, which he confirmed, leading her to allegedly say, “don’t ever discuss what you saw.”

In Los Angeles County Superior Court documents obtained by NBC, Garcia claims — in addition to being warned not to speak on what he witnessed — that he was then treated differently by the Houston native, claiming she began to fat-shame and disrespect him, telling him, “spit your food out” and “you don’t need to be eating” while calling him a “fat bi**h.”

While he considered quitting due to Meg’s “possessiveness combined with a lack of appropriate pay for the amount of time asked of him” he stayed around and booked a June 2023 gig, only to be notified by Roc Nation that “his services would no longer be required,” he claims in the suit.

“What I learned throughout the years is that, especially coming from an office environment, is you know, there’s no HR department in the entertainment business,” Garcia told NBC News. “So, if you don’t know that you’re being done wrong, you don’t really know how to advocate

for yourself until you start asking, maybe you start asking your peers who have representation, they have agents, they have management, they have an attorney. So I just really just want to encourage people to advocate for themselves.”

Sought after funds include unpaid wages, as well as interest on the unpaid wages, unpaid overtime wages and other employee benefits at the legal rate. The videographer 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.

“Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behavior and quit this sort of S-3-Xual harassment and fat shaming conduct,” Ron Zambrano, an attorney for Garcia, said in a statement to NBC News. “Emilio should never have been put in a

position of having to be in the vehicle with her while she had S-3-Xwith another woman. ‘Inappropriate’ is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal.”
