Summary
Brooke Shields, president of Actors' Equity, made a surprise visit to Casa Bonita — the Colorado theme restaurant owned by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone — to deliver a letter demanding better wages and working conditions for the restaurant's live performers. Shields booked under a fake name to ambush the owners, and the visit highlights ongoing labor disputes at the iconic venue, including allegations of sexual harassment from performers like a Gorilla performer who reported being grabbed sexually over 20 times.
