Jay-Z‘s 40/40 Club in Atlantic City fired members of its security team after video footage of a group of bouncers viciously beating two men surfaced.
In the footage, shown below, a group of bouncers continuously beat two men in the club’s parking lot. Couri Glen, former supervisor of security at the club, told TMZ.com, “We were initially all suspended and then fired for misconduct.“
Despite the fact that they vastly outnumbered the two men, and continued to beat them well after they were able to defend themselves, Glen says he feels he and his team were wrongfully terminated, and that they were “just doing our jobs.”
According to Glen, he approached the men because of complaints they were groping women. He alleges that he tried to escort the men out of the club, and that’s when they began throwing punches at the security team – contrary to the men’s claims that the attack came unprovoked.
One member of the security team claims he lost two jobs due to the incident, “because I was wearing another company’s shirt because 40/40 said they didn’t have my size shirt to wear … so they told me just to wear that one. The other company saw the video and fired me three days later.“
