Intimidation and indecent exposure

2018

Aged 34

I was a member of staff and I was washing my hands in the toilets, when two drag performers from Funny Girls blocked my exit, not letting me leave until I looked at the drag DJ’s penis. Reported to management who found it funny with a reply like, ‘Who hasn’t seen it?!’ More angry with my own response as I always thought I’d kick off in a situation like that, and despite me saying no repeatedly, I gave in just so that I could leave. There was at the time of my employment, a very toxic environment between certain drag performers and other members of staff. I also reported to the licensing company, who had no interest as the event happened during a changeover of bar ownership. Even though you could argue ‘it was only for a laugh’, I’m still bothered to this day, and not I won’t lie, it’s put me right off mini sausage rolls.
