Others defended the move claiming Jackson has the right to ask for his money back if he didn’t receive adequate “customer service”.

One commented: “Like WTF? Can’t someone request a refund?”

Another accused the stripper of being ungrateful, posting: “If she had a s***** attitude I woulda took my money back too! B**** I’m bout to throw a year worth of Rent and you wanna act ungrateful?”

Jackson later defended himself against the backlash, claiming he took the money because the venue owed him.

“I’m done, I’m done, IM DONE With you because all you do is lie,” he wrote. “This my message to all the angry strippers on my page.

“The way I see it Club Angels owe me money, True Story . You need me.”
