\n\tMegan Thee Stallion<\/a> is firing back at a lawsuit that claims the superstar forced a cameraman to watch her have sex with a woman inside a moving vehicle, calling them \u201cfalse and fabricated\u201d allegations filed by a \u201ccon artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a scathing first response to the April accusations, attorneys for Megan (Megan Pete) said that Emilio Garcia\u2019s lawsuit \u201cconsists almost entirely of falsehoods, misrepresentations of fact, and outlandish claims that have no basis in fact or law and no merit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlaintiff is a con artist who is manipulating the judicial system to act as his publicist and bullhorn in a desperate attempt to boost his failed singing career while trying to tear down the successful career of Megan Thee Stallion,\u201d wrote the star\u2019s attorney, Alex Spiro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his lawsuit last month, photographer Emilio Garcia accused the superstar and Roc Nation of subjecting him to a hostile work environment due to the alleged car-sex incident, which he says took place while on tour in Spain in 2022. Garcia claims the incident left him \u201cembarrassed, mortified and offended,\u201d and that Megan and Roc Nation later retaliated against him by reducing his work and eventually terminating him.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut in Thursday\u2019s response, Spiro painted a very different picture \u2014 of a former contractor who was terminated after he repeatedly \u201cfalsified his invoices and overcharged Ms. Pete for services he never completed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAngry at the loss of this high-profile gig and his exile from the inner circles of stardom, plaintiff filed a factually and legally frivolous Complaint,\u201d Megan\u2019s attorneys wrote. \u201cPlaintiff took a run of the mill wage and labor dispute and trumped up his frivolous claims with sensationalist false allegations of sex, debauchery, and workplace harassment for the sole purpose of creating a media firestorm to tarnish the career and reputation of Ms. Pete.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond rebutting the lawsuit\u2019s allegations, Megan\u2019s attorneys also argued Thursday that the case was filed in entirely the wrong place. In a motion seeking to have the case moved to federal court, they argue the case has \u201cabsolutely no connection to California state court\u201d \u2014 citing the fact that Garcia lives in Texas and Megan lives in Florida.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlaintiff was more concerned with staging his lawsuit in an improper forum than accurately pleading the facts underlying his claims,\u201d Megan\u2019s lawyers wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tAttorneys for both sides did not immediately return requests for comment on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
