A Las Vegas judge has ordered Blueface to pay a shuttered Las Vegas strip club more than $13 million in damages after a shooting in 2022, documents said.
Earlier this month, a different judge sentenced Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, to probation for the Oct. 8, 2022, shooting that left one man injured.
The victim said he was shot in the hand outside of Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club on Windy Road off the Las Vegas Strip, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained. He recognized Porter in the venue and had spoken “with him earlier in the night.” The victim said he made a joke about Porter “speaking with some females in a cheap vehicle,” documents said.
Attorneys for the club’s owner filed the lawsuit on Dec. 29, 2022, records showed, saying “as a direct result of [Blueface’s] negligence, willful, and/or reckless conduct, the club’s licenses were revoked” on Oct. 14, 2022.
The business sued Porter, citing claims of nuisance; indemnification and contribution; and declaratory relief, documents said. In an order filed Saturday, Reynolds ordered Porter to pay lost revenue of $12.6 million, plus other damages, totaling nearly $13.1 million, documents said.
