Prostitutes who have staked their claim at a South Beach hotel are not about to let any uppity women move in on their business.
A vacation getaway to a swanky South Beach hotel turned into a nightmare for a southern New Jersey woman when she was mistaken for a hooker and beaten up by actual prostitutes who saw her as competition, the woman and her husband claim in a federal lawsuit.
Thirty-four-year-old Anna Burgese asserts in the lawsuit filed last Friday in Camden that a group of women she believes were prostitutes attacked her in the lobby of the W Hotel in Miami Beach in January as she and her husband, Joseph, were returning from a night out. Burgese says she was violently attacked from behind and slammed into a wall, then thrown to the ground. She was taken to the hospital for her injuries, attorney Lance Rogers said.
So where’s the part where these “victims of human trafficking” have been forced into the business by wicked men? Surely, the prostitutes must be unwilling participants in the sex trade, and their unprovoked attack on a woman was a cry for help.
Quick! Find a man to blame!
Ah, here we go:
the suit claims, hotel staff failed to detain the attackers and even helped them escape by putting them in a taxi. The hotel was aware of previous violent episodes and failed to take precautions to protect hotel guests, according to the suit.
“The Hotel fosters a prostitute-friendly environment where prostitutes are permitted to market themselves on the premises, as evidenced by, among other things, the reviews left on various travel websites by former guests,” the lawsuit contends. “It is believed and therefore averred that, in the past, prostitutes have become violent with guests and/or visitors on the Hotel’s premises and in the surrounding area.”
Yep, it was the hotel staff and management who were responsible for the hooker attack, so the patriarchy must pay.
