  "account": "A federal judge has ruled that Megan Thee Stallion and her management company, Roc Nation, must face trial in a lawsuit filed by former cameraman Emilio Garcia. Garcia alleges that he was forced to watch the rapper engage in sexual activity in a car during a European tour in 2022. Garcia claims that the incident left him feeling \"embarrassed, mortified and offended\" and that he was subsequently subjected to a hostile work environment and retaliation by Megan and Roc Nation. The judge dismissed certain claims made by Garcia, including allegations that the star or her management retaliated against him for complaining about the car-sex incident. However, the judge ruled that there is enough evidence for a jury to find Garcia's claims of discrimination, wage violations, and retaliation related to the wage dispute.",
  "summary": "A jury will decide a case against Megan and Roc Nation filed by Emilio Garcia, who said he was forced to watch the rapper have sex in a car in a 2024 lawsuit.",
