There have been a disturbing number of sexual harassment lawsuits coming to light lately. At this point, we might be better off listing the celebrities who haven’t been accused of mistreating former employees. It seems like a lot of these artists don’t know how to handle the the transition from regular person to superstar.

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion is the latest entertainer to find themselves the subject of legal action. A former employee is accusing her of creating an “unbearable hostile work environment workplace,” and has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the “Savage” artist.

According to the lawsuit, on Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Emilio Garcia, the star’s former personal cameraman, filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion—real name Megan Pete—Megan Thee Stallion Entertainment, Inc., Hot Girl Touring, LLC, and Roc Nation “alleging harassment, hostile work environment, and more than a half dozen labor code violations.”

In the lawsuit, Garcia alleges that in June 2022, while on tour in Ibiza, Spain, Megan had sex with another woman while he was sitting next to them in the SUV.

“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. Plaintiff was embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the whole ordeal,” the lawsuit states. “The following day, Stallion inquired whether the plaintiff was in the SUV the previous night. Plaintiff confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, Stallion instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’”

The suit also accuses the Houston native of fat-shaming the cameraman, allegedly calling him “Fat Bitch” as well as telling him, “Spit your food out” and “You don’t need to be eating.”

Knowing how Megan’s fans have stood up for her against relentlessly bullying makes these fat-shaming accusation particularly hard to swallow.

Garcia also states that he was misclassified as an independent contractor as a way of getting around California labor laws, was often denied regular meal and rest breaks, then saw his wages decrease when his pay was changed from a flat monthly rate to a “pay-per-task system.”

If these allegations are true, it’s another example that proves no matter how much we may like and admire our favorite entertainers, we don’t actually know them as people. Megan Thee Stallion may put out catchy songs and have an empowering message fans believe in, but we don’t know her, and that’s important to remember when it comes to all these celebs.
