“Better treat her the same way as Lizzo”: Lawsuit Reveals Megan Thee Stallion Allegedly Forced Photographer to Watch Her Have S*x, Fans Furious
Known for songs like Sweetest Pie, Cognac Queen and Savage, Megan Thee Stallion has risen from the bottom to make a name for herself. The Texan singer rose to fame after her freestyling videos went viral on social media.
However, a black cloud shrouds her future in the industry has Stallion is facing a harassment lawsuit by her former cameraman. The details of the case are unfolding with each new revelation.
Megan Thee Stallion Faces Harassment Lawsuit
A former cameraman who used to accompany the singer to events and functions has accused Megan Thee Stallion of harassment and a hostile work environment. The details of the case outline that Stallion trapped the cameraman in a moving vehicle while she engaged in s*xual intercourse with other women. The cameraman was forced to watch as he couldn’t leave.
As reported by NBC, Emilio Garcia filed the suit on Tuesday and further stated that Stallion asked him to keep quiet and not tell anyone else what he saw in the vehicle. The trauma did not stop there as the singer went on to fat-shame and insult the cameraman, treating him differently from there on. On the other hand, Stallion’s attorney claims,
“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court.”
The two have been working together since 2018 till 2023. The lawsuit brings to light the reality of off-camera relationships between celebrities and their crew. Being around each other for such long hours impacts their ability to be unbiased at work too. Garcia also stated that he felt entirely uncomfortable and frozen as Stallion began engaging with the other woman right next to him.

Fans Furious Over Megan Thee Stallion Being a Victim
As soon as news broke out that the singer was facing such a delicate case with heavy charges, fans were quick to point out that she was given the benefit of the doubt when her peers in the industry were not. Lizzo, for example, was immediately ousted and condemned when similar allegations surfaced regarding her.
I ain’t saying she did it or not, but how come with allegations against other people, they’re immediately guilty (like Lizzo) but with her, she’s always innocent, and even if she was guilty, she’d become the victim somehow
