Los Angeles (AFP) - Megan Thee Stallion forced her cameraman to watch her having sex in a moving car, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles. Emilio Garcia says the incident, which happened on the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza, was part of a campaign of harassment that also included fat-shaming him.

But these days, she and her partner Piotr are imbibing less booze: "I felt like drinking more took away from the festival experience," she says. "I feel like now I'm enjoying myself a lot more this year, not drinking as much."
