Well, if you have been listening to the Oklahoma City news channels, there was quite a little drama going on circulating about our strip club, Xxxtasy Ranch. I feel the need to tell everyone that this story is completely inaccurate, and also to tell people about it because of the effect these kind of things have on the stripping business. So, here it is, in two parts, what the news says, and what actually happened.
LYING NEWS STORY: Two dancers were abducted by a patron and taken next door to the hotel, where they were raped and beaten. The heroic bouncer breaks the door down, rescues the girls, clothes them, and feeds them a "hot meal."
THIS HAPPENED: The boyfriend of a dancer (who had worked at our club for one day) came in and started to hit her. The cops were called, and he was arrested for assault.
Now, that's all that's in the police files. It was a domestic violence thing, which our club had little if anything to do with. Two of the news stations came in to speak with our manager, and he told them that was it, not much happened. They even asked for the name of the heroic bouncer, and he said he couldn't give his name because there was no bouncer because that didn't happen. He said they looked disappointed about that. Apparently, if they chose to run that story anyway. The owner of our clubs is considerring a lawsuit, and I hope he files it. I got online to look for this story when I got home. It was run at some time in the last couple of days. I can't find the story. I suppose they hid it. But it happened, because our customers have asked about it when they came in today and my co-workers are talking about it. I wish I'd seen the stories myself so I could confirm that end of it.
This makes me angry because things like this are why strip clubs and strippers have the inaccurate public perception that they do. It makes me angry because they've possibly hurt our business, certainly hurt our reputation, and hurt our feelings. It makes me angry because it's perpetuating all the ugly societal myths about strip bars.![]()
