A former Milwaukee Bucks dancer is suing the team for wage abuse.
According to Ben Handelman of FOX 6 News in Milwaukee, Lauren Herington has filed a federal lawsuit demanding that the Bucks pay her money she is owed. Her lawyers have termed the wrongdoing “prolific wage abuse” and allege that the Bucks are taking advantage of their dancers.
Herington says she moved five hours from home to take a job as a Bucks dancer in 2013 when she was 19. She called working for the team an “amazing experience,” but she claims she worked extremely long hours for very little pay.
