The wild night that cost Jodi Gordon her relationship with Channel Seven heir Ryan Stokes started in a seedy pole-dancing club — a regular haunt of Jodi’s, reports Frank Thorne.
Disgraced Home And Away star Jodi Gordon is preparing to leave the country amid revelations she regularly paid for private lap dances at a strip club in Sydney’s Kings Cross.
The troubled star likes to watch naked girls dance at the Bada Bing nightclub, which is popular with bikies, according to employees and patrons.
Staff and drinkers at Bada Bing describe Jodi as a “crazy party girl”, claiming she regularly attended the pole-dancing strip club and paid for strippers to dance for her in a private booth.
So regular were her visits, the staff said she regarded some of the club’s strippers as friends.
The strip club is where Jodi met Rebels bikie and former male model Mark Judge on June 2 — the night on which she disappeared and later reportedly admitted to police she had used cocaine before suffering hallucinations.
“I was here drinking at the bar on that Tuesday night when Jodi went missing with that bikie guy,” the source says.
“She was gone, man. Off her face.”
These fresh allegations come as colleagues confirm Jodi’s plans to leave Home And Away and move to Los Angeles to put the scandal behind her and resurrect her acting career.
It is a move that would also help her overcome the pain of her break-up with Seven Network heir Ryan Stokes, who dumped Jodi after she was found cowering in the bedroom of Judge’s Bellevue Hill apartment the day after he reported her missing to police.
