Megan Thee Stallion has had her fair share of court battles. The rapper was famously embroiled in a criminal case against Tory Lanez, and more recently, she was sued by a photographer named Emilio Garcia. He claims the rapper trapped him inside a vehicle while she had sex with a woman. Garcia then accused Megan Thee Stallion of creating a hostile, abusive work environment in which conditions were "intolerable." His lawsuit fell apart, however, on November 19.
Meghann Cuniff reported that Emilio Garcia was sanctioned by a federal judge on Tuesday. The photog failed to appear during pretrial conference, and has subsequently been ordered to pay the fees of Megan Thee Stallion's lawyers. Garcia has also been ordered to pay Roc Nation's lawyers, as the record label represents Megan. Prior to the sanction, One of Megan's legal reps, Alex Spiro, claimed that Garcia was merely seeking money. "This is an employment claim for money," he said. "No sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court."
Megan Thee Stallion's Team Called Plaintiff A 'Con Artist'
Megan Thee Stallion's other lawyer, Mari Henderson, went a step further and labeled Garcia a con artist who was attempting to use his proximity to the rapper to his advantage. "Plaintiff is a con artist who is manipulating the judicial system to act as his publicist and bullhorn," they wrote. "In a desperate attempt to boost his failed singing career while trying to tear down the successful career of Megan." To make matters worse, Spiro and Henderson questioned the competency of Garcia's work when he was with Megan.
The legal reps alleged that Garcia falsified invoices and "overcharged for incomplete services" while serving as Megan's photographer. They also accused him of seeking reimbursements for money he didn't actually spend. Garcia was let go from the rapper's team in June 2023. Garcia argued that his termination was retaliatory after voicing concerns for the allegedly hostile work environment. Unfortunately, for him, the lawsuit has not paid off.
