Holly Madison, a former playboy model and ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, has filed a lawsuit against multiple people at her Las Vegas show, "1923 Bourbon and Burlesque by Holly Madison," claiming she was secretly filmed in her dressing room.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the reality star's company, Awesometown Inc., filed a lawsuit against managers at Mandalay Bay's 1923 Bourbon and Burlesque for secretly filming Madison and several other dancers naked and changing their costumes in their dressing rooms. The law firm filed a second lawsuit on behalf of other dancers.
The images and videos were filmed for about five months last year and were recorded without the knowledge or consent of Madison or the other alleged victims. The suit also claimed that the recordings were being distributed.
Mentioned in the lawsuit are Robert Fry, Avi Kopelman, Robert W. Sabes and Noel Bowman - all four individuals are accused of participating in the scandal.
"It's a crime. Not only Holly has been damaged-but four of the dancers that I field a suit for separately," Madison's attorney, Eva Garcia-Mendoza, told E! News. "They are going through some serious emotional distress right now. Who might have seen them? What they might have done when changing clothes? It was very personal."
Garcia-Mendoza added: "They were changing clothes during a routine-wiping down their body and other things and never expecting they were under the eye of a camera. And for the defendants to come in and say, 'Well, when we found out we rectified'...they were looking it every day for four or five months. They only rectified it when someone complained...It probably still would have been rolling."
Madison reportedly became aware of the recordings after two other performers noticed the camera's feed in Kopelman's office on Aug. 7 and complained, but managers reportedly claimed that the camera feed was "not a big deal."
However, Jared Kahn, an attorney for the club, told FOX411 that there were no hidden cameras in the establishment, but there was a general surveillance camera that was "re-positioned to monitor a smaller area." He added that Madison and the other performers often can their clothing in "a public corridor near a backdoor exit that was under general surveillance."
"Once management learned of the camera it was re-positioned to monitor a smaller area," Kahn said. "The performers elected to change costumes in the public corridor when they really could have dressed in the private area that was available to them."
Kahn continued, "We are not aware of any dissemination of the video. The video system has a log that shows what images have been captured off it and there was no images that have ever had a captured image report off it."
