AceShowbiz - Megan Thee Stallion has responded to recent allegations leveled at her. Shortly after her former cameraman accused her of sexual harassment, the "Girls in the Hood" raptress shut down the "salacious accusations."
On Tuesday, April 23, the 29-year-old hip-hop artist, through her lawyer, denied the allegations. Speaking to Page Six, Alex Spiro said, "This is an employment claim for money, with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her." Alex went on to state, "We will deal with this in court."
The statement came after Megan's former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, went public with his accusations against her. Emilio reportedly filed a lawsuit against Megan in Los Angeles earlier that day. In his complaint, he accused her of sexual harassment among other issues.
In the lawsuit, Emilio claimed that Megan forced him to watch her have sex with an unidentified woman when they were in a car during a tour stop in Ibiza, Spain in June 2022. He went on to say that Megan told him, "Don't ever discuss what you saw," on the following day.
The personal videographer further alleged that Megan berated him when they were in Spain, allegedly calling him "fat b***h" and telling him, "spit your food out" as well as "you don't need to be eating." Moreover, he claimed that he earned "significantly less" following the trip to Spain since she changed his pay system from $4,000 per month to "pay-per-task." He additionally said that he "noticed a change in how he was treated and saw a decrease in the number of bookings he received" after the trip.
Emilio, who had worked with the Grammy-winning rapper since 2018, also stated that he has been suffering from a number of mental health issues after enduring "a barrage of relentless sexual and fat-shaming comments plunging him into profound emotional distress." He claimed that he is struggling with "mounting anxiety, depression and physical distress stemming from the toxic work environment."
