Rebecca Willis Is North Carolina’ $270000-Paid Naughty Community Dancer! Rebecca Willis, 64, from Marshall of North Carolina, was paid $275,000 to settle a lawsuit by her town, in exchange for being banned to appear and dance at the Marshall Depot Community Center.
In 2000, Rebecca Willis, then 56 years old, was accused of gyrating and simulating sex with her partner while dancing in a short shirt that even exposed her bra. Apparently, the community patrons were not comfortable with Willis’s self-believed “exuberant and flamboyant” dance in a public arena as an adult. After they complained to the authorities, the town official had banned Rebecca Willis.
This caused Willis to file a lawsuit against her town, claiming her dance was appropriate but not obscene. After year’s court hearing/debate, Rebecca Willis was ruled to be protected by her Constitutional right to equal protection under the 14th Amendment. As a settlement, she agreed to never return to the community center after being paid $275K.
