brenton_06 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Read this article at news.com.au TELEVISION star Jodi Gordon is on the verge of quitting Australia and her spot on soap Home And Away, according to sensational claims to be published tomorrow in a women's magazine. Woman's Day conducted a lengthy investigation of Gordon's behaviour in the months leading up to the bender with bikie Mark Judge that was splashed across front pages of newspapers and magazines around the country. Woman's Day also reports that she is ready to give up her role on the long-running soap and head overseas to further her career. The magazine tracked Gordon to a Kings Cross strip club, where it's claimed she regularly paid to have "private dances" performed for her. Gordon was in the club, not for the first time, on the night of her run-in with police. Woman's Day claims the star was a regular at the club and would pay for private, nude, erotic dances from female strippers. "Jodi is a really friendly girl and got on well with a lot of the girls," a club employee told the magazine. "She was on first-name terms with some of the dancers and was extra friendly because she was out of it. Jodi once paid for a girl to dance for her for four hours." The employee said Gordon visited the club - which is not named - the night she and alleged bikie Mark Judge called police. In early June, the pair were found by police cowering in Judge's Bellevue Hill apartment, said to be under the influence of illegal drugs. Gordon allegedly told police cocaine had been consumed. Her actions caused Network Seven heir Ryan Stokes to end his two-year relationship with the soap star. Logie winner Gordon, 24, continues to work on Home And Away. An Article from tvtonight.com.au Cover story or personal story? A women’s magazine is about to get stuck into young soapie star Jodi Gordon, who made news last month after an incident in which police were called to a Sydney apartment. Now, the Home and Away star is the subject of a story involving Kings Cross strip clubs. It will also report that she is ready to give up her role on the long-running soap and head overseas. The claims are just too private to republish here, and given they don’t sound illegal (right, Prime Minister?) it’s an unfortunate turn of events. So far few media seem to be asking why a young actress is in the emotional state that delivers them such cover story copy. Is the fact that she is female and not a partying sports star simply better reading? Australians have frequently rallied behind those who are targetted unfairly by media, particularly when news is deemed to be an invasion of privacy. Last year Andrew O’Keefe saw a wave of support after media had a field day with his personal life after a night of partying in Melbourne. What is newsworthy here, is whether such articles ultimately tarnish Gordon’s media image and how it fits with that of the Seven soap. Certainly a recent admission of drug use is out of step with a network’s image. Of course many might argue that Home and Away storylines trade in stalkers, kidnappers and assorted criminal elements as much as teeny romancers. Sometimes even poledancers.

Woman's Day claims the star was a regular at the club and would pay for private, nude, erotic dances from female strippers. Gordon, it's claimed, was on a first-name basis with many of the strippers at the club and would eagerly part with the $85 fee for private dances. "Jodi is a really friendly girl and got on well with a lot of the girls," a club employee told the magazine.

Didn't Dani Minogue have a thing for strip clubs and she's straight as far as I know. I don't what the straight girl thing for strip clubs is to be honest, but some of them seem to enjoy it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
