Stripper gets upset, demands $40mn from Jennifer Lopez (PHOTOS)

16:09, January 11

The woman who inspired Jennifer Lopez's character in Hustlers is suing the film's makers for $40m,  BBC News reported.

In the lawsuit, Samantha Barbash accuses film companies including STX Films and Lopez's Nuyorican Productions of using her likeness and defaming her.

Hustlers is the fictionalized story of Barbash and other women who drugged and swindled rich men at strip clubs.

Barbash was the alleged mastermind of the ring and was sentenced to five years' probation for conspiracy, assault and grand larceny after it came to light.

The movie was based on a 2015 New York Magazine article about the gang, but Barbash has said she declined to sell her rights to the movie's producers, saying they offered her "peanuts."

Lopez has described her character as "unapologetically savage." Last April, Barbash told the New York Post that Lopez was misrepresenting her and she was never a stripper.

A spokesman for STX Films told US media: "While we have not yet seen the complaint, we will continue to defend our right to tell factually based stories based on the public record."
