Hammerstein Sued for 'Twincest'
Following months of rumors and allegations about his bad behavior, pervy Box boss Simon Hammerstein has finally been slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit by the Porcelain Twinz, two of the venue's best-known performers until they quit last summer. The burlesque dancers have been putting on a kinky act for years, but they claim it never involved engaging in "incestuous sexual relations with each other," at least not until they met Hammerstein and he forced them to put on "twincest" shows at the venue. They also say he demanded oral sex in exchange for free housing and, later, so he would sign on as a guarantor on a rental apartment. That doesn't strike us as the worst deal in the world (even accounting for Hammerstein's all-around grossness), but we imagine a judge probably won't see it that way.
