MISS B LEAVES LEGENDS
Miss B, the drag personality and manager of Legends nightclub in Pretoria has been dismissed after a dispute with the club’s owners over the firing of staff accused of theft.
The incident was “unfortunate and sad”, said owner Fulvio De Stefanis, who explained that Miss B was asked to go when she did not support the firing of staff members who allegedly were involved in theft at the club.
“There was a breakdown in trust between Miss B and the rest of the management,” said De Stefanis.
He added that he had a written confession from one of the staff members and would lay a charge of theft with the police this week.
Miss B told Mambaonline that she was “still unsure as to the exact reason” for her firing, insisting that although the owners did not implicate her in the theft, “they should have made it absolutely clear that I wasn’t involved”.
Miss B joined Legends in 2007 and quickly established herself as the face of the club, not only managing the venue but also putting on numerous drag events.
“I have my dreams and hopes and my goals and I wasn’t happy with what was going on at the club and I didn’t see a future there.” She added that she would soon be back in the clubbing scene freelancing between venues and had plans in the pipeline to eventually open a new club in Pretoria.
“I’m very grateful for everything. I had a lot of fun and I wish Legends well in the future”, she said.
De Stefanis insisted that the owners also harboured no bad feeling towards Miss B and wished her well in her future endeavours.
He said that Legends has been undergoing a substantial facelift over the last few weeks with renovations of the bathrooms, bars and DJ boxes as well as the Funky Floor, which will also have a new 10 urinal bathroom.
“We’re looking forward to the upcoming Qc party, the Pink Jacaranda after party and the 2009 Mr and Miss Legends event”, De Stefanis said.
Just because she didn’t agree to the firing of employees doesn’t mean she can’t be trusted. You can not simply fire someone for compassion. And if she is the manager what other management is there?
Unless she knows something this article is not telling us she should stand her ground and make absolutely sure why she was released.
Waiting. ‘He added that he had a written confession from one of the staff members and would lay a charge of theft with the police this week.’
We’ll see, let the law run it’s cause.
…. she left ramps, she left legends. my friends were banned by her at legends when she was very drunk – we haven’t been there since. this weekend will be our 1st jol @ legends since March. yay
B’s tyranny ended. It is an absolute godsend that she got fired – my friends was also thrown out. We will return now. It’s the end of the drag queen terror at Legends.
Miss B. I have known B for many years, since before the openning of Ramp Divas. Yes, she may be many things, good and bad (depending on who you are) but a thief? No…that is not the case. With a Lawyer on its management team, Legends should know better. What about the Labour Relations Act? or the employment equity act? B take them to the cleaners!
Law. Mambaonline.com:

The law will run it’s full course.

NO written confesion. Read all the comments on facebook, this is hot!
There is NO written confesion.
I hope justice is done. And where Miss B goes we will go.
Strange. Well it’s strange that the SAPS has one …
ex-bartender. I am no longer in SA and am for the first time
in a year since I left legends curious as to whats going
on.. but at the end of the day, unless you have been
behind the scenes of what goes on at legends, i think
ppl should just hold their comments..
Heaven knows i probably hold the record at that place
for being fired and rehired.. but not all my memories
are bad, and i personaly wish Miss B.. all the best.. even though we certainly had many a fight ..
I no-longer have any hard feelings..
Is this news???. Just cant believe this is new
Law. Do the South African Labour Laws not apply to Gay Club Owners and Gay Club Workers? When was the disciplinary hearing held? Who was present? I suppose gay workers have no rights after all…
Theft. Well if they steal they can be dismissed summarily as I understand it
Goodbye. I say thank the maker, she was a bad bad thing, so now she should just open het club so the trash has somewhere else to go, and a thing called class can return to Legends!
Ditto!. HalleLUjah!
Seriously. I’m from Jozi – no beef with drag queens. went once to legends and had to endure watching the worst behaviour from a few bartenders as well as miss b. drag is ok but drunk drag is voken scary. throwing water jugs on people and thinking its funny. never been back to legends cos i thought that was how it was at the place.
glad to know that this was not the case.
we’ll be making a new turn at the place this weekend for the Qc party!
hope to have a better night than the 1st time i went!
Dangerous. me n my bf were @ Legends when miss b let off a fire extinguisher in the club – FOR A LAUGH!! she was pissed and her groupies thought it was hilerious! my bf has asthma and we had to leave very quickly cos he started having an attack.. we promised never 2 go back but now that shes gone we’ll def go!
Time to stand up. I think its time to stand up and show these clubs that they are there to offer a service to their clients and when they start to forget, its time to move on get a new location
And whatch them suffer !
There is a light. Could not make it in the world as a man
Could not make it as a woman
What is next ………
At last…legends started to become utterly common and dangerous in tha last year!!!
Well the manager makes the club..
Lets hold thumbs and see what happens
Trash. Thanks goodness for getting rid of all the trash at Legends. Trash attracts Trash!!!
