A former dancer at a West Los Angeles strip club is suing the business, alleging she was forced to entertain VIP guests in a private room after being plied with alcohol and drugs and that management regularly called her a "whore."
The plaintiff is identified only as Jane Doe in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed against the Silver Reign Gentlemen's Club on Mississippi Avenue.
The allegations include retaliation, sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment.
The suit filed Friday seeks unspecified damages.
Representatives from Silver Reign did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the company's website states the club is closed due to coronavirus stay-at-home rules.
The plaintiff began working at the establishment in August 2018 and earned all her income through tips, the suit states. She alleges she was called a "whore" often by management and that her bosses inappropriately touched her.
Club management remodeled a storage room in the rear of the building into a room for VIP guests who were offered private lap dances that lasted from a half hour to several hours, according to the suit. The on-duty manager would stand by the door to the room and make sure it was not opened before the VIP session was over, the suit states.
In December 2019, Doe was forced to take an excessive amount of alcohol and cocaine, the suit states. She was then escorted by a manager to where a friend of the club's owner was waiting in the windowless VIP room for a private session that lasted three hours, the suit further states.
The VIP guest smoked crystal methamphetamine and encouraged Doe to do the same, but she refused, the suit states.
After the session, management warned Doe, "Don't say anything about this incident," according to the suit.
Doe further alleges she was told by supervisors to make additional trips to the VIP room and that she was "pressured in providing sexual services ... after being forced to consume alcohol and cocaine."
Doe resigned in January and has undergone counseling through Alcoholics Anonymous after becoming addicted to alcohol on the job, the suit states. She now works as a restaurant server, the suit further states.

Was Clinton in town?
What about Goldie Showers and Misty Mounds?
Her real name is Svetlana Doetskofsky.
If so...surprise...surprise...
Bet most of the clients were rich Arab businessmen.
It sure wasn’t a Republican, or he’d have been named first.
This is as close as I’ve found, but don’t get it.

Well Miss, if you’re going to be a part of the Strip Club scene, you be around a certain class of people.
Let’s just say social etiquette and general niceness have never been their strong points. People tend to make assumptions if you take your clothes off for money in that kind of a setting.
Where’s Hunter?
I’ll need Rudy to go and get signed affidavits to her honesty!
I know a couple ex-dancers.
One is still one of my closest and most trusted friends.
She paid for college with her tips.
Trust me, they ALL know which companies require “whatever” to get employed.
Drugs and alcohol problems run rampant in strip clubs but both my friends managed to avoid the dark side and came out successful.
An “hours long lap dance”?
I’m guessing that didn’t end well.
She’s a whistleblower.
The Eastern European/Russians took over the stripper market years ago. In some clubs that’s all they have.
Ah, thanks.
I see my Svetlana is looking for a younger man. :-)
I feel sorry for her. Hope she can continue to get her life together.
No one should be treated that way.
Back when I was tending bar around town I knew a couple of employed strippers. One had been a hooker and I’m sure continued that while employed by the strip club. The other one was just making a living off her tips and had no interest in ‘other’ stuff.
