Stripper Files Lawsuit Against Stadium Night Club After Manager Forced Her To Have Sex To Keep Job
Reports Bossip:
An exotic dancer on Wednesday filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Stadium Club strip club in D.C., claiming that she was coerced into having sex with a manager.
The stripper, Talayna Clements, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in D.C. She accuses the club of sexual discrimination and creating a hostile work environment, among other charges.
“I really felt abused, used, humiliated, afraid,” she said Wednesday during a news conference.
According to her attorney, Clements was pressured by the club’s general manager to have sex with him.
In July, after a party with unnamed NFL players, the general manager asked Clements to have a drink with him and to perform a dance, the attorneys state. While she was dancing for the general manager, he pulled down his pants and had sex with her, the lawsuit alleges.“The Plaintiff was scared and intimidated. She did not know what to do. So she unwillingly had sex with him for fear of losing her job and her livelihood,” the lawyers claims. “Plaintiff felt humiliated. Plaintiff felt ashamed. She also felt dirty, so she left the Stadium.”
The incidents started when the 28-year-old dancer says she was fired a year ago after undergoing a half-body tattoo of a pistol, a grenade, a switchblade and a machine gun that spelled love.
She was told the tattoo wasn’t in keeping with the club’s standards.
So she appealed and says the general manager replied.
“He asked what was I going to do for the job? To get the job back…I said nothing,” she says.
That allegedly led to the July incident, where the general manager allegedly threatened to fire her if she didn’t have sex with him.
She claims her human rights were violated and that she wasn’t paid but instead had to pay the club.
“We had a tip in fee with ranged for a minimum of $33 to $450,” she says. “I’ve paid over $580 to work on weekends.”
ABC7 tried several times to reach club management about the allegations. But no one is talking.
And now…click here to read the complaint.

Harmony Korine (Director Of ‘Spring Breakers’) Tells Hilarious Gucci Mane Story
We’ve already heard one good ‘Spring Breakers’ story involving Gucci Mane, now the movie director tops that one with his own….taken from Vulture:
“In his entourage, everybody smokes weed from the beginning of the day to the end,” explained Korine. “So we’re inside this house in St. Petersburg, and the fucking weed smoke was so insane and Gucci was basically catatonic. I was like, ‘Gucci, you’ve got to have sex with this chick now!’” How did he receive the news? “He wanted her to ride him so he wouldn’t have to do any physical labor.“
For a while, that worked. “So we’re shooting the sequence, and as he is getting fucked, I start to hear snores,” said Korine. “He had literally passed out! And she was riding his dick the whole time. I’d never in my life filmed a sex scene where the dude was sleeping … and she was on top of him for a good 45 minutes.”
And yes, that’s the take that made it into the film. Laughed Korine: “At the end, he woke up and was like, ‘I feel real nice. I feel like Mozart’s on my dick.’ And that was it, and he went back to sleep.“

Rush Limbaugh On Beyoncé “Bow Down”
Yall might remember Rush had something to say about Jay-z ‘s lyrics last year , Limbaugh recently weighed in on Beyonce’s new track. Bow down.
“Their (Destiny’s Child) songs were attempts to inspire young women not to take any grief from men. She’s done a 180. Beyoncé, now having been married, having been impregnated and giving birth to Blue Ivy, she’s going out on a new tour. And they may as well call it the ‘Bow Down Bitch Tour. She’s got a new song … a total 180. Beyoncé is now saying, ‘Go ahead and put up with it.’ Because she married a rich guy. She’s even calling herself Mrs. Carter on the tour. She now understands it’s worth it to bow down.

Music News
From MTV:
Little Mix have made a name for themselves thanks to their cheeky chemistry and impressive harmonies. But new fans might be surprised to learn that they weren’t always the group they are now. Much like “X Factor” alums One Direction, they met while competing on the U.K. version of the series back in 2011. Intending to compete as solo acts, they were thrown together to make up Little Mix. The magic was palpable to viewers, and they ended up winning their season.
“It was like a freak accident, wasn’t it?” Edwards said of the group’s formation. “They put us together I think based on our height. They must have seen us together and thought, ‘They’re exactly the same height. They look good… blah, blah, blah.’ But then when we started singing, it just kind of clicked. We’re so lucky to have it actually work, I think.”
“But all of that just kind of makes me think, like, it was always supposed to happen,” Pinnock added. “It was fate, as cheesy as it sounds.”
