Megan Thee Stallion Seeks Dismissal of $1.2M Suit
A Los Angeles stylist and management company allege unpaid wardrobe and styling services spanning 2024 and 2025, a claim the defense disputes.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Fashion
Megan Thee Stallion and five companies have asked a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging she owes $1.2 million for wardrobe and styling services. The suit, filed June 3 by a Los Angeles celebrity stylist and a management company, alleges breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
Why it matters
The filing turns on whether the deal memos bind any specific party, as the defense argues they are unsigned and do not identify who agreed to pay or for what service. The outcome could shape how collective claims against entertainers and their affiliated companies are pleaded in Los Angeles courts.
The complaint alleges $1.2 million owed for wardrobe and styling services spanning 2024 and 2025. The defense's dismissal request has not been ruled on, and the specific payment obligation remains disputed.
The players
Megan Thee Stallion
A Grammy-winning Houston rapper whose legal name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, and who is among the defendants seeking dismissal.
Judge Barbara A. Meiers
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge presiding over the dismissal motion in this case.
The details
The lawsuit alleges breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and claims every defendant acted as agent, alter ego or joint venturer of the others. The defense argues the claims rely on collective allegations and boilerplate language without a specific promise by the performer, and says the deal memos are unsigned.
Timeline
2024: Wardrobe and styling services begin, spanning into 2025.
June 3: Lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Friday before March 19: Defense files dismissal papers with Judge Barbara A. Meiers.
March 19: Scheduled hearing on the dismissal motion.
Industry Dynamics
Entertainment disputes over unpaid services increasingly test whether claims can be pleaded collectively against a performer and her affiliated companies. Courts in Los Angeles, where many such contracts are signed, frequently scrutinize that pleading approach at the dismissal stage.
The case concerns who is legally responsible for paying for styling and wardrobe work, which matters to other stylists and brands that contract with public figures. The ruling could clarify whether a performer can be held liable without a signed agreement naming her.
The takeaway
Written agreements that name the paying party and the specific services can prevent disputes like this one from turning on whether the paperwork was ever signed. Freelancers working with public figures should confirm who is responsible for payment before work begins.
What happens next
A hearing on the dismissal motion is scheduled for March 19 before Judge Barbara A. Meiers in Los Angeles Superior Court.
