\n\tMegan Thee Stallion and Roc Nation are facing a lawsuit from a cameraman who claims he was forced to watch her have sex with a woman inside a moving vehicle while she was on tour in Spain.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a complaint filed Tuesday (April 23) in Los Angeles court, Emilio Garcia accused the superstar of subjecting him to a hostile work environment due to the alleged incident, which he says left him \u201cembarrassed, mortified and offended.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAfter a night out, plaintiff Stallion and three other women were riding in a SUV together,\u201d Garcia\u2019s lawyers write in the lawsuit, obtained by Billboard<\/em>. \u201cSuddenly, Stallion and one of the other women start having sex right beside plaintiff. Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was both moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGarcia claims that the day after the incident \u2014 which allegedly occurred in June 2022 near Ibiza, Spain \u2014 Megan told him, \u201cDon\u2019t ever discuss what you saw.\u201d He says she then \u201cberated him\u201d and made \u201cfat-shaming comments\u201d towards him.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the months following the alleged incident, Garcia claims that Roc Nation switched him from a monthly rate to a per-assignment arrangement. He says he also \u201cnoticed a change in how he was treated and saw a decrease in the number of bookings he received from Stallion.\u201d In June 2023, he claims he was told that he was told that \u201chis services would no longer be required.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond the allegations of a hostile workplace, Garcia also claims that Megan and Roc Nation violated California wage-and-hour laws by failing to fully pay him for the \u201cmyriad\u201d tasks he performed for the superstar as her personal cameraman: \u201cMore than once, Stallion interrupted plaintiff during dinner and demanded that he immediately shift his focus to assist with her TikTok creative ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite his status as an independent contractor, Garcia claims that Megan effectively treated him like an employee. He says she repeatedly told him explicitly that he was \u201cnot allowed to service any other client other than herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, Garcia is represented by the same attorneys (Neama Rahmani <\/strong>and Ronald Zambrano<\/strong>) who filed a high-profile hostile workplace case against Lizzo on behalf of three of her backup dancers. Like the new case, that earlier lawsuit also features allegations that employees were forced to watch sex acts in a European country during an overseas tour.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement to Billboard<\/em> on Tuesday, Megan\u2019s attorney Alex Spiro<\/strong> said of the new lawsuit: \u201cThis is an employment claim for money \u2014 with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court.\u201d<\/p>\n
