SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 8 – Megan Thee Stallion's personal cameraman has sued her and Roc Nation for discrimination and retaliation, recounting being forced to witness sex on a trip to Ibiza, Spain, in a New York City strip club and elsewhere. 

  On February 10 a conference about depositing Megan Thee Stallion, identified in the Complaint as Megan Pete, was held by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods. Inner City Press live tweeted it, thread

On February 12, ROC Nation moved to dismiss, notice of motion on Patreon here.

On May 22, a discovery conference that Inner City Press covered and live tweeted, here

In July, "The Court holds that Plaintiff fails to allege facts sufficient to plausibly plead a California hostile work environment claim; overtime and notice claims under California labor law; overtime claims under New York labor law; and aiding and abetting claims against the corporate entities under the New York human rights laws. Plaintiff adequately pleads a meal and rest break claim under California law; retaliation under California and New York law; and discrimination under the New York human rights laws. Therefore, Defendants’ motions to dismiss are GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART."

On July 8, Inner City Press live tweeted a discovery conference in which Judge Woods ordered a three hour deposition of Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nations, by July 26, thread

 The case is Emilio Garcia v. Roc Nation LLC, et al., 1:24-cv-7587 (Woods)
