This Day In Litigation: Stripper Sues Over Tainted Integrity

It's come to this: Strippers concerned over their intergrity.
Get it right - she would never bare her breasts for Scores.

A former stripper at the Penthouse Executive Club is outraged that her sexy snapshots were used in ads for Scores, according to a new lawsuit.

Nicole Hughes, who peeled off her top at the W. 45th St. jiggle joint from April 2007 to July 2009, contends her "integrity as an adult entertainer" was tainted when her pictures popped up last year on billboards for Scores.

"Ms. Hughes has suffered severe emotional distress as well as severe financial hardship and disruption to her life as a result of [Scores'] unlawful actions, and her involuntary public affiliation with the 'Scores' name," her suit says.

The suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, charges that Hughes was "forced" to take part for the May 2008 photo shoot and "misled" into thinking her pictures would only be used to lure strip club fans into the Penthouse club.

"The defendant compelled Ms. Hughes to execute the release by threatening Ms. Hughes that she would not be able to work for Penthouse ever again and would have to go home if she didn't sign," the suit says. "[Hughes] did not even receive the $4.00 that was promised in connection with signing the release," the suit says.
Maybe someone could slip a fivespot into her g-string and she can move on with her life.

One can only imagine her horror.
"I was riding in the back of a taxi minding my business, looking out the window, and boom, there I am, massive in my underwear on a billboard for Scores! I about fell out of my seat," she said.

"I was so upset that I called my mom and then, boom, another one!"

The Levine & Blit lawyer said his client had tried to keep her dancing life private, but now "it was in the open for everyone to see - friends, family, everyone."
If she wanted to keep it private, why'd she call her mommy?
