LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An exotic dancer who performed for Duke University lacrosse players the night of the alleged rape of a fellow dancer said in an interview the students behaved drunkenly, shouted racial epithets and made her feel unsafe.
In an interview published in the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine, dancer Kim Roberts also said she did not know if the other dancer, an unnamed 27-year-old black woman, was raped but did know the woman was in such poor shape when they left that Roberts had to call police for help.
Roberts said the woman was "like intoxicated, drunk or something. ... She's barely talking."
The woman was taken first by police to an alcohol treatment facility and then transferred to a hospital emergency room where she was found to have injuries compatible to being raped and sexually assaulted.
Three members of the lacrosse team have been charged with rape in a case that has received national attention. All three have denied committing any crime.
Roberts told Vanity Fair contributing editor Buzz Bissinger she was originally told she would be performing at a bachelor party, where she assumed the men would be close to 30 or a little older. But when she arrived she realized the crowd was all younger men, some so drunk they were urinating off the porch of the house.
When they learned that the second dancer coming was black, some objected because they wanted a white dancer, she said. But the two dancers nonetheless danced for about eight minutes until a young man waved a broomstick in the air and made crude comments.
She said she felt overwhelmed and intimidated. "You have to think of two little girls among how many big boys? That in and of itself is intimidating. ...
"How is someone supposed to perform a show if they're wondering .... 'Am I going to have to worry about my safety?' Things were said that made me concerned for my safety."
She added that when she and the other dancer left, the players shouted racial slurs.
Crude comments? What? Sweep this? Ride this witch? Duh? ... (wouldn't he have used a cucumber or something else for the obvious?)
I hope they both go to jail...but they won't...they'll go to Oprah.
That's not really a matter of being drunk . . . it's more like a matter of convenience, or being too lazy to go to the head.
" She said she felt overwhelmed and intimidated. "You have to think of two little girls among how many big boys? "
"Little girls ????...."
Perhaps they play the role of " little girl " when they go on call outs to motels.
But, no way are these two " little " or " girls."
In fact, the photos of the FA make her look like she could take down Bigfoot.
Perhaps Kim aka Nicki aka Brainiac forgot that she told the AP that Finnerty was " the little, skinny one."
Roberts said she knows what it's like to sit in jail, and that she would never wrongly accuse an innocent person. “If the boys are innocent, sorry fellas,” she said. “Sorry you had to go through this.” But unlike her and the other dancer, she said, they have money to hire the best attorneys. “If they're innocent, they will not go to jail,” she said. But, she added, “If the truth is on their side, why are they supporting it with so many lies?” Roberts is bracing for an all-out attack, but said she's almost past caring. “Don't forget that they called me a damn nigger,” she said. “She (the accuser) was passed out in the car. She doesn't know what she was called. I was called that. I can never forget that.”
Kim is a liar, cheat, ho, criminal, etc. I would love to see her and CGM in the hot seat while Defense Attorneys hammer away!!! These two hos have caused so much pain to so many. Can you imagine - CGM lied to save her butt from going into rehab or for fear of losing her kids or getting a bitch slap from her pimps or something like that, at the expense of the lives of three young men, an entire lacrosse team, their families, the reputation of a University, the job of a coach, the robbing of the tax payers of Durham and the State - Am I missing anything else? This is sick.
On another note, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY AFRICAN AMERICANS CAN CALL EACH OTHER "nigger" ALL THE TIME. I FRANKLY DON'T USE THE TERM AS IT IS DEROGATORY TO RESPECTABLE BLACK PEOPLE, BUT WHAT THE HECK - ONLY BLACKS ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE WORD OR THEY ARE OFFENDED? wierd
and she says that they were two "little girls".....oh, give me a break.....at least Kimmie looked like she could take down a few .......
and she felt INTIMIDATED?...you mean, you work taking your clothes off for drunk young men and IT'S YOUR LIVING and you want people to believe that all of a sudden, your "intimidated"......
what a crock.....wonder how much they paid for such BS.....
but being out of line is not the same as RAPE.......
heck, you could prove totally out of line behavior at any bar or frat party or strip club in the country.....
That would make me think that they propositioned the boys...and got turned down ROYALLY!! Best guess: Anything extra is pin money not pimp money.
You might be on to something. Kim supposedly made a crack at the boys about having to "buy" them.
Yeah, my first thought. If she "was in such poor shape", "like intoxicated, drunk or something. ... She's barely talking", I would think a blood test would be performed.
Hell, she could have been poisoned for all anyone knew.
