…And now a lawsuit.
A Margate man is suing a Pompano Beach strip club after he says a performer’s shoe flew off during a pole dance, shattering the mirrored ceiling and causing glass, as well as the shoe, to hit him.
The Booby Trap breached “its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in (a) reasonably safe manner,” according to the Broward Circuit Court lawsuit filed by Charles Privette, 35.
He is seeking at least $15,000 in damages.
Privette’s attorney, Omar Demetriou, said his client suffered a small laceration to his eyebrow, headaches and nose bleeds as a result of the Jan. 14 pole dance.
What exactly caused the dancer’s shoe to fly off is unclear, Demetriou said.
Booby Trap general manager George Gettinger acknowledged such an incident happened and paramedics were called.
The emergency responders were not too worried about Privette’s injuries, Gettinger said.
“A quote from the paramedics was, ‘I can’t believe you even called us for this,’” Gettinger said.
