Setting The Record Straight on Platinum

Well lately yours truly has been getting slandered on aome second rate "strip club review" site. Someone said somthing positive, so now of course people gotta start putting me down because they haven't done shit in 3 years with the club . So let's tell the true story , and see how it got like this. I literally killed myself at this place for 7 years. I did they ads myself, the bookings, manger, general manger. Mostly with little help. I watched a guy steal 20 grand from ther place right out from under the owners nose (who is a fucking accountant at that ) . I finally got put in charge. I went from 15 dancers to 45 in 4 months. I still have all the dance sheets, records, pictures, and every single piece of evidence of the revenue rising up more than 40 percent from what we made without me in charge. So I can PROVE what I made, not just make up stories. I wasn't doing drugs, never got drunk at work ( even on New Years ) . Everyone always made fun of me for being so into my club. I had this girlfriend at the time who was a little too redneck for me . She was one of those girls who had to have a beer, joint , cigarette , or drugs of any kind constantly. Since I hate drug dealers and don't use, she played games and was always gone fucking around with whoever for drugs. I finally got frustrated with the cheating and shit so we split up. She had been living with another guy ( saying he was a cousin, plutoic friend etc.) for like 6 months before I let it go. The only reason it went that long is that I worked like 12 to 18 hours a day and got lonley and she was around occasionally. Never messed with the girls at work, had chances but said no. Finally after about 4 months I startred dating . I did a little screwing around . I mean after being in a relationship for the last 3 years and being cheated on I decided to relax and maybe play around. I informed everyone at the time this is what was going on in my life , and didn't want a relationship. I eventually met someone and we eventually got married , had a son, divorced etc. She started messing with drugs, I didn't . We divorced, I got custody of my son, which my mother and father shared with me becuase my mom was the only real mother he knew. All these facts about my personal life, besides the fact that I Americanized my name , and I go by my middle name instead of my first name ( like millions of people do) are the only facts that my enemies twist against me. I took over C. P., brought it up, still have all the ads, feature contracts, and books from those days. During that time I knew a guy, lets call him Jeff GK. When I first met him he was working the parking lot a Deja Vu, and always tried to talk down to me if I visited friends who worked there. He snitched and kissed ass so badly in those days.He was known as an ass kisser in the office, even the manger called him one. But the manger there was also two-faced and told Jeff GK. I wasn't even working at PLatinum when I got a weekly paycheck there! ( I had been "demoted" by the new owners to being a floor manger and middle man , doing bookings etc. ) I was working for the other owner, and they wanted me traveling occasionally to other clubs . I had more experience than any manger they had at that time. It was just that I was friends with one owner and the other guy wanted his people there. I finally got my spot back after one guy left, and got GM when the other guy got caught pocketing about 20 grand. Then my "pal " Jeff GK got assist. manger at Deja Vu. I was always nice to the guy. He had this attitude though. I mean he had probably been told propaganda about me because he worked for my competitor. But I always treated him with professional courtesy . I heard he had a bad drinking problem. I had seen him drunk a few times in public, and he had gotten into a lot of fights. Then he passed out drunk one day and left the safe open after the club was closed. So he was fired. Then he went to work for a place , let's call it RHD. He manged that place and it really went nowhere. Went into visit a few times. When I was running 40 girls, they were running 5. This is the absolute truth , many many people in Nashville, even people who hate me can tell you this is the truth. He was drinking heavily then when I would go over. He would drink too much and not got to the bank, then call me and ask if I had ones and other change for thge weekend . I always helped him out . I thought maybe he had potential, but he needed to stop drinking on the job. He eventually got fired and after he had run RHD into the ground, they closed down shortly after that . They tried a few managers but it was over and done with. Then my company hired him for Brass Stables. He came into my club , I was on the stage wiring lights and working on equiptment as usual. I shook his hand and welcomed him to our company. He tried a day shift over there. It didn't work . So then he decided he'd get my job. He started going to ball games and playing golf with the middle man from the company named LL, who owned a small interest in some of our clubs. All I do is work, I don't go to games , my whole life is the adult business and my family. So he decided to slander me and make friends with this guy LL, who didn't like me because I could run a showbar better than him . He also had met my ex girl who I had split up with while he was running RHD. He was cheating on the mother of his kids with her and got caught. So using lies she made up about me paired with twisting facts to make me look bad , and hanging with a "company man" (LL) I got put out after being part of the business since it opened in March 1993. This is all there is to it. He wanted my job so he backstabbed me. My sales were NOT down, but LL was jealous of my success and wanted Jeff GK in , so he ordered the signs taken off the club for a month for "repairs" (yeah right) to get the money to drop to move Jeff in. So I was set up. I loved the place, but you can't help it nowdays if club owners have no clue what's really going on in their club. Since then, my ex girl married Jeff GK and now she's lied to him and made it out like her drug and alcohol use all came from my influence( even though she still is known to use regularly) even though my refusal to party with her is why we never would work in the first place. Can't help it if some people are gullable. That's the end of the story , and to hell with that place. I've been gone since feb. 2000 and now you don't even hear about the place anymore. So I really don't care . I got proven as the better man because since then I have been involved in 3 places which are still doing great while they are suffering . No matter what they say this town knows the club is a joke now.
