Rapper and singer Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, is asking a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to throw out a lawsuit from a celebrity stylist. MyNewsLA reported on the court papers on Nov. 10.
What to know
- Stylist Eric Archibald and his management company, Six K, filed the suit on June 3. It claims breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
- The plaintiffs say Pete owes $1.2 million for wardrobe and styling across appearances, events and projects in 2024 and 2025.
- Pete and five companies asked the court to dismiss. Their papers were filed on Friday, ahead of a March 19 hearing before Judge Barbara A. Meiers.
- Pete's lawyers say the deal memos are unsigned and do not say who agreed to pay or for what service.
- They also argue the complaint names no specific promise Pete made, and that its "alter ego" language is boilerplate.
- The plaintiffs' lawyers say Six K has tried for two years to collect the money without success, according to MyNewsLA.
Our take
A motion to dismiss tests whether a complaint has enough detail to go forward. It does not decide whether the claims are true. For stylists and other creative workers, who often rely on short deal memos instead of long contracts, the case is a reminder of how much depends on paperwork.
