Floyd Mayweather is facing a lawsuit for an apparent wage dispute gone wrong. The boxing world champion is being sued by Jasmine Woodward, an exotic dancer who worked at Mayweather’s Las Vegas nightclub ‘Girl Collection’.
As TMZ reports, Woodward filed the claims in Clark County ton Monday and alleged the incident happened on April 23, 2023 after her shift. Woodward claims that she approached Mayweather about “failure to pay her for the shifts that she worked earlier in the weekend,” and was met with “[a slap in the face] in front of other dancers and customers on the floor of the club.”
Her attorneys also wrote in the suit that she retreated to the locker rooms in tears and Mayweather followed her, telling her that she “could not take a joke.”
Brittany Strauss, a fellow exotic dancer from the nightclub, joined the suit as a plaintiff in support of Woodward’s assault and battery claims. The two are also suing both Mayweather and his sister Deltricia Howard for failing to pay minimum wages, illegally withholding tips, and unspecified damages.
As the Athletic reports, the dancers said Mayweather and Howard misclassified them as independent contractors rather than employees. The dancers also accused Mayweather and Howard of requiring them to pay fees and portions of their tips to other employees, which the lawsuit alleged was in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
