Photographer Who Sued Megan Thee Stallion Forced To Pay Her Lawyers

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 notable record label represents Megan. Prior to the sanction, Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, dismissed Garcia and his claims. “This is an employment claim for money,” he told reporters. “No sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court.”
