There was a show going on capturing the fans’ attention during the Bulls’ loss to the Lakers Wednesday night, but it wasn’t on the court.
A viral video emerged of a stripper, who dubs herself “Pretty Rebel” on Instagram, dancing and twerking in a private, rented suite at the United Center.
A fan who identified herself as “Jazzy” claimed she hired Pretty Rebel and that they were celebrating her 32nd birthday.
A man who identified himself as “Marcus” and the group’s party planner could be seen tossing cash at her as she danced and did splits on the floor as if they were at a strip club.
Fans in adjacent suites and in the regular seats below could be seen cheering them on.
“We are family and friends,” Jazzy told WFLD-TV in Chicago. “We have all been friends for 10 years plus. When we are together, we just have a good time.”
“The fans were holding their hands up under us and catching money,” Marcus added, per the outlet.
One member of the group with the Instagram handle @quickhandskenny_94 posted videos of their night and captioned one of his posts, “@prettyrebel2u understood the assignment on my granny you snapped.”
Although Jazzy, Marcus, Pretty Rebel and their peers might have been enjoying their night, their behavior was not looked at fondly by the team.
The United Center announced that they were investigating the incident.
“We are aware of the video from last night’s game,” the United Center said in a statement. “This is a clear violation of our fan code of conduct and premium seating decorum. We do not condone this behavior and have taken appropriate steps to address the matter.”
Jazzy and Marcus told WFLD-TV that they were not kicked out of the game, and won’t let the warning prohibit them from acting similarly in the future.
“If people are going to make it all out of proportion and all that, they’ve never lived, man,” Marcus said.”
Regardless of any possible punishment for their act, it’s helped business boon for Pretty Rebel.
“I’ve gotten so many requests for bookings,” Pretty Rebel told TMZ.
Pretty Rebel, who has roughly 5,500 followers on Instagram, told the outlet that she had not heard anything from the team of the arena.
