Fans are criticizing rapper 50 Cent for his response to the shocking lawsuit filed against Megan Thee Stallion on Tuesday. In the lawsuit, Megan’s former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, alleges that he was forced to witness the rapper engage in sexual activity with another woman while “trapped” inside a moving car in 2022.
50 Cent reposted a screenshot of an NBC News article on Instagram and suggested that both Garcia and his lawyer should be “punched in the head” over the claims. He further stated that he wouldn’t be offended if he witnessed two women “making out,” insinuating a dismissive attitude towards the seriousness of the allegations. Fans quickly accused 50 Cent of upholding a double standard when it comes to male victims of sexual harassment. Many pointed out that if the situation involved a male victim, particularly someone like Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the response might have been different.
Emilio Garcia’s lawsuit against Megan was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accusing the Grammy Award-winning rapper of harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Garcia alleges that he was trapped in a moving vehicle with Megan in Ibiza, Spain, while she had sex with another woman. He claims that Megan fat-shamed him and subjected him to degrading comments, creating emotional distress.
In response to the lawsuit, Megan’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, labeled Garcia’s accusations as “salacious” and suggested that they were aimed at embarrassing his client. He emphasized that there was no sexual harassment claim filed and indicated that they would address the matter in court.
Garcia claims that Megan’s behavior led him to consider quitting his job and that he endured relentless sexual and fat-shaming comments while working with her. The lawsuit paints a picture of a toxic work environment, with Garcia feeling degraded and emotionally distressed. The lawsuit has sparked intense scrutiny and debate on social media, with fans expressing outrage over the allegations and criticizing 50 Cent for his response. As the legal proceedings unfold, the music industry watches closely, awaiting further developments in this ongoing saga.
