In a recent 2-1 decision, the South Carolina Court of Appeals affirmed the workers’ compensataion commission’s position against former stripper, LeAndra Lewis’ claim for benefits because she was not considered an employee of Boom Boom Studio 54 in Columbia.
Lewis, who was 19-years-old when she was performing at the Columbia Club, was shot in the abdomen during a fight that occurred between two customers. The 2008 shooting left Lewis with serious injuries to her liver, intestines, pancreas, kidney and uterus.
During her stripping days, Lewis would normally work five nights a week, traveling between the Carolinas. However, the scarring resulting from her injuries has cut her stripping career short.
Various arguments that Lewis was not an employee support the Court’s decision, including that management never specified how she was supposed to dance for patrons and that the club had not supplied her with any equipment. In fact, “from the standpoint of both the Boom Boom Room and its customers, Lewis brought her own ‘equipment’ for her work,” wrote the court. The Court further noted that the club did not pay Lewis to perform and that it was actually Lewis who paid for the opportunity to dance and collect tips from customers.
Judge Paul Short, dissenting, argued that Lewis was an employee of the club because management had the power to fine or fire strippers who missed their turn in rotation, who left early, charged their own V.I.P. dance price, or broke any other rules.

A single car accident took place this past Sunday, claiming the life of a Third Infantry Division Soldier.
Spc. Nolan W. Mincey, 22, of St. George, S.C., was assigned to the 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 3rd ID, as a combat engineer. He had been a member of the Army since October 2008, and arrived at Fort Stewart in 2011 where he stayed until this fatality. He was lucky enough to only have one deployment, and was subsequently awarded the Combat Action Badge.
The collision occurred on Friendship Road near St. George, where Mincey’s car somehow lost control and drove off the road, only to strike a tree around 6:10 p.m. The details of the Soldier’s cause of death, and what if any where the contributing factors is still a mystery.
Thus, the accident is under investigation.
