If you have not heard, there is major drama in the DMV over Rane Sykes , Keith “DJ Flexx” Clagon, and CBS radio aka WPGC . Well, this story starting to sound like a micro docu drama.
As you know, the City Paper published a story on their website. The website allows people to post comments.
Well, Allegedly, in the story a reference was made to Jim Bell and meeting at a stripping and eating steak.
Well some alleged dude name Jim Bell posted a response to the story. At this point in time, no one knows if is the real Jim Bell the dc local attorney or some fake but the post is below
I am writing to inform you of two serious errors in this story. I will not allow someone to "Jason Blair" me in an article as I have spent over two decades to build my professional reputation. It needs to be said that I engage in a national civil rights and entertainment law practice. I have received awards from the United State House of Representatives, Maryland State Senate, Governor of California, District of Columbia City Council and City Council of Baltimore for my legal work. I am an award winning documentary filmmaker with the film entitled "Don't Hate: Strippers Fight the Government" scheduled to released on DVD in January 2012. I hold a B.A. degree from California State University Sacramento and a Law degree from American University. Altruism is a part of my life as evidenced by my being a 33° Prince Hall Mason and Life Member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. None of this information was contained in the article but it was all given to the reporter.
Context and truth always matter in every story as those above facts are not the light I was show in.
#1 I never insisted that Mr. Smith meet me at a Strip Club. The facts in our email chain prove it: One August 14, Mr. Smith sent me a message that said, “Jimmy, can we set up a quick in-person interview?” I responded by suggesting an email interview. Then he wrote that he’d prefer to “describe meeting up with you and talking about the case.” Two days later, Mr. Smith called me to see if I was in DC so he could interview me. I told him that I was in Maryland but he could interview me right now over the phone. He then asked will I be in DC anytime today and I told him yes I was having dinner at the 4 star restaurant at Stadium Club and he was welcome to meet me there since he did not want to interview me over the phone. As your paper has reported, the Stadium Club includes a restaurant and a separate strip club. We talked for 2 and a half hours in the restaurant and the interview was over.
Afterwards, Smith asked could he come to the other side where the strippers were while he waited for his cab. We then walked around to the club area which is separate and he talked to a few of the dancers and they told him about my winning injunctions and lawsuits against states and counties that tried to outlaw strip clubs and how it helped them to support their children and their family members (none of that made it to the article). The DJ played one of my favorite songs which was a billboard top 13 hit "No Hands" and the dancers danced for him that's why he was, "gawking as a licorice-thin red g-string falls from the perfectly shaped orange-sorbet buttocks of a stripper named Royal" as she was dancing for him. He talked to them some more and I had someone to drive him in my car to the metro station.
He could have waited outside for his cab in the gated parking lot with security. If nothing sinister is a foot then why not say the name of the restaurant Stadium Club DC in the article or that it was a 4 star restaurant.There are several strip clubs in the DC area but there is only one that has a 4 star restaurant and it is separate from the club.
#2 The article states that “Jimmy Bell has dropped $86 on a plate of filet mignon and lobster” and then sang along as a DJ played a Wacka Flocka Flame song whose lyrics are, “I’m a free niggah, I do what I want.” But a plate of filet mignon and lobster is not $86. You can call the resturant and verify that fact as the price is on the menu. And the song the DJ put on was the billboard top 13 hit "No Hands." No where is this song does it state, "I’m a free niggah, I do what I want." That song does not exist.
I have presented the facts. It's time for you to do the right thing.
Jim Bell, Esq.
