Two former Redskins cheerleaders Friday pushed back against allegations made in a New York Times article over a 2013 trip to Costa Rica.
Appearing on NBC’s “Today,” Rachel Gill and Charo Bishop, two former cheerleader captains, said they were never forced to do anything they didn’t want to do.
The New York Times talked to five cheerleaders who said male sponsors and suiteholders were allowed to be around topless photo shoots, and nine women were required to be personal escorts for some of the men at a nightclub.
Gill and Bishop, who were speaking on behalf of the Redskins, said the cheerleaders’ actions were voluntary.
