Man claims stripper permanently injured him
2009-06-04
A Loxahatchee
where else but Floriduh
man is suing Cheetah nightclub, claiming he was permanently injured after a dancer kicked him in the head.

Michael Ireland has filed suit against the club, alleging dancer Sakeena Shageer kicked him 'without warning.'

Cheetah Palm Beach manager Rod Kimbrough says that's not quite the way they remember the night. "A patron violently slapped the young woman on her buttocks and she was walking around the top of the bar and I guess out of a natural response she turned around and kicked him. From what I'm told he refused medical attention and came back in the club after that and had beers," says Kimbrough.

He also questions how Shageer, who dances by the stage name Suki, could have caused so much damage. "She's a very nice, young small girl, definitely did nothing in a malice way."

"Small is the operative word?" asks Holmes.

"Yeah. Five foot one," says Kimbrough.
I don't know. Mr. Wife's sister is all of 5'2", but in her youth she could leg press 420 lb. (about 190 kg) -- she was a figure skater. What's the difference between a dancer's snap kick and a black belt's? Not that Mr. Ireland is likely to win his case with that argument, I imagine.
Ireland has retained powerful local law firm Lytal and company. They told us they tried to resolve the issue with the club's insurance carrier. When that failed, they filed the lawsuit.

We could not reach Ireland for comment. We also tried to reach Shageer, but she did not return our calls.

#3  Suki's "old school"...

Shageer, 28, said she is an old-school kind of exotic dancer. "Back in the old days, guys couldn't touch at all, especially smacking your bum that hard," she said. "But the rules have gradually just slipped away. The girls have just let it go."

Yeah, back in old days the bouncers would just take you outside and beat the shit outta you.

Which head - the big one or the little one?

#1  I think this lawsuit will be laughed out of court, a dancer kicked a shagger?
