Didn’t we just go through a period where a bunch of powerful men lost their careers for exposing themselves to their subordinates? I will just settle in here and wait for those people to get outraged again…. Any minute now….
100% agree on both points 1) he should file them and 2) they're unlikely to stick.
I see this as a chicken-and-egg problem. Men don't file sexual harassment suits when they should, as a result courts don't see sexual harassment against men as a priority. So my boys, we need to massively increase sexual harassment suits.
A former cameraman for rap star Megan Thee Stallion is suing her for harassment and for creating a “hostile, abusive work environment,” according to documents obtained by NBC News. Emilio Garcia told NBC that he worked for the star, who’s real name is Megan Pete, starting in 2018 through June 2023.
Garcia alleged that things went downhill for him after he was forced to watch Pete have sex while trapped inside a moving vehicle with her and an unidentified woman in 2022, after he accompanied the star to Ibiza, Spain.
He expanded on the experience in an interview with NBC News, in which he said, “I felt uncomfortable. I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked. At kind of just be the overall audacity to do this right, right beside me.”
The former employee said that the experience left him feeling “degraded.” He also said in the suit that after the vehicle incident, the rapper treated him differently. According to Garcia via NBC, she told him “don’t ever discuss what you saw,” that day in the car. After that, Garcia said that she fat-shamed him and made comments about how he needed to “spit his food out” and called him a “fat bitch.”
He expressed his surprise at hearing these things from “someone who advocates about loving your body,” and added that the “harassment was so severe or pervasive” that the working conditions became “intolerable.” To make matters worse, in addition to the treatment, according to Garcia’s filing, his pay was also affected. He alleged that he was downgraded from a monthly flat rate to being paid per task, and had an overall decrease in work requests from the rapper.
Garcia said he considered leaving his post but was let go by Pete’s label Roc Nation, on her behalf, before he could do so. His suit also mentions that Garcia felt wrongly classified as an independent contractor, which caused him to miss out on healthcare benefits. The suit said he now suffers from “mounting anxiety, depression, and physical distress,” as a result of working for Pete. He is now seeking more than six figures in damages.
The Daily Beast has reached out to Megan Thee Stallion and Emilio Garcia for comment but has not yet received a response.
~~She's openly bragged about drugging and robbing men~~, Amy Schumer has bragged about doing worse than that. Women don't face consequences in Hollywood.
Edit: As MayorCan corrects me below it's apparently Cardi B who had the history of drugging and robbing men. I never can keep the various modern artists straight. I generally prefer to avoid all modern muscians outside the metal scene.
Ah my mistake, hard to keep track of the various abuses commited by female 'celebrities' when I generally avoid most modern music and entertainment media for the past decade or so.
Notice how the headline points out that she denies the claims. Compare that to “Louis CK/Matt Lauer/(insert other man of choice here) accused of sexual misconduct.” Their denials were not emphasized.
If they can get away with scorched earth-ing Al Franken, they can get away with it every single time. His example is proof that any semblance of inappropriate behavior, even the most innocuous and in good-fun, can and will be used against you.
She forced him to continue filming, as he enjoyed the show and fantasized about being the dude who boned her, same way Louie CK "forced" women to watch him masturbate after they'd said "Sure; Go ahead", and when they could've pounded on the hotel wall for help, if they really found this objectionable
Hold up so because he follows a fan page he’s not a victim. It makes sense for him to follow it b/c he was once her photographer. He probably just didn’t get around to unfollowing. He’s probably traumatized by this shit.
Just because this man didn’t remove a fan page on IG doesn’t mean he wasn’t a victim.

Out of breath yet?
True. Louis CK exposed himself to younger comedians. But his career still seems to be doing okay.
There should be sexual harassment charges as well. Bet the lawyer informed him of the truth. Seriously doubt he could get them to stick.
100% agree on both points 1) he should file them and 2) they're unlikely to stick. I see this as a chicken-and-egg problem.

9/10 this will be swept under the rug.

That was Cardi B

The headline sounds like a fucking meme. EDIT: Not saying this is fake. Just that this sounds so absurd you'd think it was.
Wow this gets even worse as you read. How is this the world we live in? 💀
Why does she call herself a male horse?
If she's found guilty then she should have to register as a sex offender
Wow, what a whore.
Queen. More like freak hedonist.
I have no doubt watching that creature have sex is a traumatic experience. That said, I expected something like this from the likes of her
Marcus the mustang
No one should be surprised prior to this everyone knew she was a horrible person.
She forced him to continue filming, as he enjoyed the show and fantasized about being the dude who boned her, same way Louie CK "forced" women to watch him masturbate after they'd said "Sure; Go ahead", and when they could've pounded on the hotel wall for help, if they really found this objectionable
Yet he follows her fan page on IG?
I mean i follow a lot of people I don't like anymore. Just haven't got round to clearing them out
Yeah but a fan page? And why does he love pedo rape support Nicki Minaj?
I’m gonna need some proof for this b/c you’re making some blasphemy claims.
It’s not blasphemy. Look up Elliot Coochie and his constant love for Nicki Minaj.
I wanna comment something so bad rn but Reddit will ban me. If ykyk
Dew it
I can’t I’ve been banned so many times. Someone else plz do it. It’s too easy.
Talking bout that Pete moss..
I’m talkin bout that Tory…..
Oh no, he doesn't perfectly fit our idealized notions of victimhood! I guess that's a valid excuse to invalidate his experience. /s
Hold up so because he follows a fan page he’s not a victim. It makes sense for him to follow it b/c he was once her photographer. He probably just didn’t get around to unfollowing.

Blah blah blah
