Pacman's Side of the Story: He Was Beaten and Robbed

Pacman Jones (or at least his publicist) has spoken out for the first time about what went down in that Vegas strip club. The publicist, Cheryl Moss (also an eyewitness of the scene), said that Pacman did not have a trash bag full of money, didn't hit any of the dancers, and doesn't know the shooter. She also says that the club's bouncers maced Pacman's bodyguard, slammed his stylist into a cactus, and choked Pacman.

I don't know who did what, but I know that Pacman should at least be fined for taking a stylist to a night club. Who does that?

Anyway, it's a vastly different story than anything else that's been reported about the incident. As Moss tells it, strippers fought over money, and Pacman ended up getting his ass whooped.

Other reports, of course, have Pacman abusing a stripper, trying to be restrained by bouncers, and allege that the shooter was a member of Pacman's entourage. I doubt it was the stylist. Most stylists don't carry gats.

The publicist also points out that Pacman was preparing to celebrate his daughter's first birthday (just out of curiosity, will daddy make it rain at her party?), and that his parents were staying with him in Vegas. She says that Pacman's "entourage" consisted of herself, the stylist, a bodyguard, a personal assistant, a "model friend," and two other women, and not "some around-the-way homeboys." There are other details, too ... I encourage you to read the story.

Of course, it's important to point out that this woman is a publicist, and that it's her job to make her client look as good as she possibly can. But it's also important to note that Pacman hasn't been charged with any crime, nor do authorities have him under suspicion for any.
