Behind The Pole: Dancers Speak Out On Alleged Exploitation At Magic City
The Shade Room
November 4, 2025

Magic City in Atlanta is known worldwide for its wings, dancers, and celebrity clientele — but now, it’s under scrutiny.

In a TSR Investigates exclusive, reporter Justin Carter sits down with former dancer Gorgeous Doll, who filed a lawsuit against the iconic club, claiming she and others were forced to pay promoters, share tips with non-tipped staff, and even cover “house fees” up to $300 a night — all while being paid just $2.13 an hour.

Other dancers, speaking anonymously, backed up her story saying they were pressured to give money to a man known as “Baller,” who allegedly collected a portion of their earnings every shift.

But Magic City is pushing back, calling the claims false and “disgruntled.” The club’s attorney insists it runs a tight and legal operation, saying “Baller” is simply a customer who brings in VIPs, not an employee.

So who’s telling the truth? And what does the law actually say about how dancers are paid?

Watch the full investigation as TSR Investigates uncovers the legal gray area behind one of Atlanta’s most famous clubs, and why dancers say they’re risking everything to speak out.
