\n\tMegan Thee Stallion<\/a>\u2019s lawyers say it\u2019s time \u201cto put up or shut up\u201d for a cameraman who\u2019s suing the rapper over allegations that he was forced to watch her have sex in a car during a European tour.<\/p>\n

\n\tEmilio Garcia filed the lawsuit last year, claiming the superstar subjected him to a hostile work environment due to the alleged incident. But in a motion filed in court on Tuesday, Megan\u2019s lawyers say he\u2019s failed to find any evidence to support those claims, even after months of litigation in which thousands of documents have been handed over.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPlaintiff still has no evidentiary support for his sensationalized and baseless claims,\u201d Megan\u2019s attorney Alex Spiro<\/strong> writes, before quoting from a legal precedent that tells such plaintiffs to \u201cto put up or shut up\u201d in such situations. \u201cNo longer can plaintiff hide behind presumptions of truth for allegations unmoored to any factual support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGarcia sued Megan in April 2024 over the alleged car-sex incident, which he says took place in 2022 while he was working as a videographer on her tour. He claimed the incident left him \u201cembarrassed, mortified and offended,\u201d and that Megan and Roc Nation had later retaliated against him by reducing his work and eventually terminating him.<\/p>\n

\n\tMegan has long denied any wrongdoing, arguing in court filings that the case was built on \u201cfalse and fabricated\u201d allegations filed by a \u201ccon artist.\u201d But in a ruling this summer, a judge refused to dismiss the lawsuit at the earliest possible stage, when judges do not yet weigh evidence and consider all claims to be true.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Tuesday\u2019s new filing, Megan\u2019s lawyers say that after extensive discovery \u2013 the process in a civil lawsuit where both sides exchange evidence \u2013 it\u2019s now clear that Garcia lacks the necessary proof to win most of his case. She\u2019s seeking so-called summary judgment on all but a few of Garcia claims, including his accusation that she fired him in retaliation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe evidence demonstrates that plaintiff\u2019s own insulting text messages about Ms. Pete \u2014 not any purported complaints about his work environment or wages \u2014 caused the end of his services,\u201d her lawyers say.<\/p>\n

\n\tMegan\u2019s filing came a day after Jay-Z\u2019s Roc Nation, her management company, filed a similar motion seeking to end the lawsuit. In it, the company said that Garcia had \u201cinexplicably\u201d named the company though Roc had \u201cnever employed plaintiff, or even contracted for one minute\u201d of his cameraman services: \u201cThe time has come to end the burden and expense that this suit has imposed on Roc Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement to Billboard<\/em>, Garcia\u2019s attorney Ron Zambrano said he and his team were confident that Megan\u2019s motion would be denied by the judge: \u201cThis is just the MO of celebrities when they\u2019ve been sued. They don\u2019t settle. They don\u2019t resolve. They just try to get rid of it, never looking at themselves to see if they\u2019re at all at fault for what\u2019s happened to their own employees but instead spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on public relations and attorneys to protect their brands.\u201d<\/p>\n
