Stripper Sues Cab Company Over Career Ending Scar

Hey, stripping is a highly competitive business. It takes skill to shake your booty and slide up and down a stripper pole.

Not every woman can do it.


Do you think its easy to do this?


From The New York Daily News:

A stripper who claims her career hit the skids after her face was scarred in a taxi accident will get her day in court, a Brooklyn judge ruled Friday.

It was a big victory for
Sheryl Azevedo. Lawyers for the cab company had sought to dismiss the case, claiming the scar was insignificant and at age 34 she was over the hill for a stripper.

On Feb. 21, 2007, after finishing a shift at Flashdancers, the midtown
Manhattan jiggle joint, Azevedo was in a cab that slammed into a Dumpster, according to court documents and her lawyer, Mitchel Ashley.

"Her head hit the partition behind the driver, she was bleeding and she ended up with a scar on her nose," he told the Daily News.

She sued the taxi driver and the cab company, charging that the scar made it impossible to get lucrative strip jobs in Manhattan and forced her to work at low-paying joints in the Midwest, Ashley said.

Lawyers for the cab company claimed the drop in income could be from her age or weight, and noted that strippers work in the dark, so customers couldn't see her face.
