In the lawsuit, the Plaintiffs have filed suit under the pseudonyms of Jane Does 1-2, and brought their claims on behalf of all other entertainers (the “Class”). The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants failed to pay minimum wages, and unlawfully confiscated tips belonging, to the Plaintiffs and to other entertainers performing at certain nightclubs across the country operating as “Deja Vu,” “Little Darlings,” “Showgirls,” “Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club,” “Barely Legal,” “Dream Girls,” “Adult Superstore,” “Legends,” “Sam’s After Dark,” “Jolar Cinema,” “Club Rouge,” and “Fantasy Unlimited” (collectively referred to as “Deja Vu-Affiliated Nightclubs”). Entertainers who performed at any Deja Vu-Affiliated Nightclubs at any time within the applicable statutory period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit.

Rather than continue to litigate these matters, the parties have reached a proposed settlement. The monetary value of the settlement is $6.5 million dollars. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, eligible entertainers may elect to receive, subject to the provisions below, either: (1) a one-time cash payment in an amount to be determined based on when the entertainer began performing during the class period; or (2) “Rent Credits” or “Dance Fee Payments” (depending upon the operation of the Club) of up to $2,000 based upon the number of months (requiring only one date of performance to constitute a “month”) an entertainer performed at her “Qualify Club” (the club at which she last performed prior to the preliminary approval of the settlement by the court) prior to the effective date of the settlement. More information can be found on the website, .
The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on June 6, 2017 at 2:00 pm. At this hearing, the Court will consider whether or not the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. If there are written objections, the Court will consider them, and the Court will listen to people who have asked to speak at the hearing. After the hearing, the Court will decide whether or not to approve the settlement. The Hearing will be held at: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the Honorable Stephen J. Murphy, III, Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse, 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., Room 564, Detroit, MI 48226.
