Pawn Stars and porn pics apparently dont mix.
Gold and Silver Pawn Shop employee Olivia Black was reportedly fired from the store after nude photos of her surfaced online.
Well s**t....I was just fired, the 27-year-old posted on Facebook.
Black then posted a link to a Radar Online article about her dismissal that states her firing came after photos were printed in the National Enquirer that revealed her racy past. Black reportedly worked for the soft-core porn website SuicideGirls.com back in 2008 before she started working at the pawn shop about a year ago.
But it seems she has no hard feelings toward her former coworkers

The name of the show is a play on “porn stars.” Duh.
ZZ Top: Pearl Necklace and Sharp-dressed Man also come to mind.
“A fair amount of staging happens in the show, no question. A five-person production crew edits down and brushes up the lengthy negotiations between the Harrisons and their customers. When a person brings in a particularly fascinating item say, a 1750s blunderbuss from an owner who wants to trade the firearm for an engagement ring the customer might be asked to return so the crew can properly capture the scene.”
That's the pawn shop in Cedar Falls, Iowa, right? :)
As if pawn stars is such a classy show...?
Well geez.....whodathunkit? Skeezy old dad with the mayonnaise gooked mullet, fat-assed prissymissy no-talent daughter, and poofter-shooter son can’t abide a former porn star? Whodathunkit?
“Well, we cain’t have no sluts up in here!” “Our clientelle is too demanding and upright an all.”
Wrong “Pawn Stars” Show, You are talking about “Cajun Pawn Stars”.
It’s actually where those guys on the bootlegger show go.
Fake.
One of my co-workers was there while they were shooting one these “staged” buys. He was an aspiring extra (I guess there really is such a critter) from CA playing the part of the Sea Hag who was in earlier to sell the item but she was even to fugly for this show.
Shows like these have spread like a bad rash all over tee vee. One of the many reasons I got rid of cable.
This the guy up in Chicago or Detroit.....the old guy with a daughter and son who work with him. He’s a skeezer, and all his customers are Obama voters.
As a general rule in an at-will state, an employer may fire an employee for good cause, bad cause, or no cause.
There are exceptions. In addition to state exceptions, a state at-will employment law does not override federal employment protections contained in such federal laws as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and similar federal laws.
I don't know of a federal employment protection for voluntarily appearing on a soft-core porn Internet site. Ms. Black wasn't a member of a protected class.
But don't trust what I say. I never practiced employment law. Please research it yourself or wait for a FReeper who is experienced in employment law to comment.
This tread is useless w/o pics!
I think you had it right the first time. That show is pure cornball.
“Ummm...you guys know that these reality shows are all fake, right?”
Umm... you know that blanket statements are usually more wrong than they are right, right? Why would Pawn Stars pay actors for those parts when ordinary people will line up for the chance to get their mug shown on TV, for free? Does not compute.
Because sometimes the people lining up to get on tee vee are so low quality and un directable that it’s cheaper to slip someone who is directable a few bucks so you can wrap up your shooting and move on to editing.
I wouldn’t hire anyone with a past like that personally.
Apparently “Suicide Girls” are all a bunch of tatted up lesbians or something
