Rachael, A.K.A Nicole, was hired at Tattle Tale’s Gentlemen’s Club when she turned 19 after her fiance, Chris, was laid off from work in order to support her 3-year-old son Gabriel. “It was quick easy money. I was pretty motivated to stick with it because I made what my husband would make in two weeks in one night,” Rachael explained. Rachael had no experience as a dancer when she was hired, and a lot of the girls working were hostile towards her. Once she made a friend, it made her job a lot easier.

None of Rachael’s side of the family knows what she does to support her family except for her mom. “My mom doesn’t like what I’m doing, but said I’m grown and can make my own choices. My profession doesn’t affect Gabriel, but it’s a huge strain on my relationship.” Rachael is quitting the club after her doctor advised her to refrain from any extreme activity following the news that she is pregnant. Chris has found another job and also requested that Rachael no longer dance in clubs.
