Lawsuit Claims Scores Gave Former Stripper the Steak Face

A former Scores dancer has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the club alleging all sorts of mistreatment while she worked there back in 2005. In a lawsuit filed yesterday, Ruth Fowler says that the club pressured dancers into having sex with upscale clients as well as managers. Scores has denied accusations that prostitution took place in the club since having its liquor license revoked in March after police found dancers having sex for money on the premises. Among other claims, the NY Daily News reports that Fowler alleges "her audition lasted just 30 seconds while dancers who managers had no intention of hiring were forced to bump and grind for 20 minutes" and that "a manager once smeared a steaming hot steak over her face." Earlier this summer, Fowler published the memoir No Man's Land about her life as a stripper.

Earlier this summer, Fowler published the memoir No Man's Land about her life as a stripper.

I got a good laugh out of this one. She now joins the ranks of Lynn Spears.

Aww gee. Another story about a poor stripper. As if she expected to be treated like a queen for taking her clothes off for money?

I like to smear my tube steak on her face.

If they're as bad as this woman says they are, why is she still alive?

"a manager once smeared a steaming hot steak over her face."

Apparently had it been sticky warm man-juice smeared over her face she would have had no problem, but a steak?. Please. Even strippers have some dignity. Somewhere.

List of the upscale clients? Probably most of them middle age men with children.

Why would someone still remain there after a manager smears hot steak over your face. Or even if you are being forced to have sex with upscale customers.

Because they're scared shitless? Just a guess.

If these dancers are being so abused - why don't they just leave. Is this the only place they can find employment in the trade

Why would someone still remain there after a manager smears hot steak over your face. Or even if you are being forced to have sex with upscale customers.

Also, those upscale customers themselves are to blame for engaging in or trying to compel those workers against their will to have sex.

If someone takes revenge and exposes them to the media - they asked for it
