Ex-stripper’s lawsuit says clubs blocked her from working because they didn’t want ‘too many black girls’

But when she showed up at the various Houston strip clubs where she worked for years, managers turned her away several times a week, she told The Washington Post. The reason they gave: There were already “too many black girls” working that night, Nicholson alleges in a lawsuit she filed last week against her former employers.
————
Nicholson filed the civil rights lawsuit under an 1866 federal law that gives everyone the same ability “enjoyed by white citizens” to make and enforce contracts. The defendants in her lawsuit are Ali and Hassan Davari, two brothers who own a string of clubs where Nicholson claims she regularly experienced racial discrimination throughout the six years she worked as a dancer: Cover Girls Houston, Solid Platinum Cabaret, Centerfolds Houston and Splendor Gentlemen’s Club.

Nicholson is also alleging she was not hired at Centerfolds and Splendor this summer as she sought to “revive her career as an entertainer.” The decision, she alleges, was based on race.

——
Casey Wallace, a lawyer representing the Davari brothers, challenged several of Nicholson’s claims. First, he said, the brothers have not owned Solid Platinum Cabaret in more than a decade, well before Nicholson worked there. That club, the lawsuit states, is now permanently closed.

Many Black dancers and staff members work at several of the Davaris’ 11 entertainment venues in Houston and Las Vegas, according to Wallace, who added that none use any sort of race-based quota system. The Davari brothers have suffered discrimination as Iranian-Americans, he said, and would never subject someone to what they have had to endure.

 

How do they turn down ugly or fat or too old strippers ?

 

His thread title would be stupid
Like republican booby trap
Or something dumber than Trevor Ariza basketball camps

 

But they argued they have black girls already
So she can’t say they won’t hire her cause she’s black

 

I don’t know many hours it takes for Carl to make a dumb thread title but it should a normal person like .10 seconds

 

then how do certain clubs have better looking and better in shape girls
while the 'less classy' clubs have lower quality?

 

This is a real topic facing Houstonians every day
@Deckard

the D&D is full of people who can’t the difference between Austin and Houston stripclubs

 

@Deckard
The Iranians running Houston stripclubs

See, the D&D wouldn’t know how diverse Houston is without the help of us 99ers

It’s going to be hard for her to prove her case of racism when there are lots of black strippers at the clubs she ‘interviewed’ at

 

You bring up a great point

why didn’t she go to work at Club Onyx
The dancers are technically independent contractors and can work for as many clubs as they want simultaneously
