Stripper Sues Cab Company Over Career-Ending Scar

26.06.2010



Former Flashdancers stripper Sheryl Azevedo is going to court over a cab accident she claims left her with a career-ending scar. Azevedo hopped in a livery cab after finishing her shift in February of 2007. The cab hit a dumpster, and according to Azevedo's lawyer, "Her head hit the partition behind the driver, she was bleeding and she ended up with a scar on her nose." From then on, she said it was nearly impossible to get good stripping jobs in the city, and was forced to take her act to the Midwest.

The cab company claims that, at 34, Azevedo is past her stripping prime anyway, and her age probably had more to do with the lack of work than a scar on her nose. Her ex husband seemed to agree, telling the Post, "There's a lot of less good-looking girls that make money at these clubs." Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jack Battaglia ruled that a jury will decide whether the scar had any impact on her act.

Stripper Sheryl Azevedo, who was scarred in cab crash, cleared to sue taxi company

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.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jack Battaglia ruled that a jury should decide whether the accident and the scar had an impact on her earnings.

Now I am not a person who would frequent such places as strip clubs but I would guess that the last thing any chap would be looking at would be the strippers nose.
