A former Bills cheerleader jiggle tests allegation is disturbing. The ex Buffalo Bills cheerleader named Alyssa U, has filed a lawsuit against the organization for treating her like a piece of meat, she allegedly had to go through jiggle tests, sitting on men’s laps and being forced to abide by strict intimate hygiene guidelines. The former Bills cheerleader is also demanding that she gets paid for the extra hours of work she put in.
A former Bills cheerleader jiggle tests claim must be a PR nightmare for the organization. A woman, who has only been identified as Alyssa U, has filed a lawsuit against the Buffalo Bills along with four other cheerleaders.
In the suit that was filed in May, Alyssa U claimed that she had a hellish experience working with the NFL team. While the organization is making millions per year, the former Bills cheerleader revealed that she was paid only $420 for more than 800 hours of work.
Another ex-Bills cheerleader named Maria, who is also suing, made only $105 for the same amount of work hours. Alyssa U said that she was asked to pay $650 for her uniform and cover her own travel expenses during team appearances.
All four cheerleaders want a judge to order Stejon Productions, which manages the Jills to compensate them for hundreds of hours of work between 2012 and 2013.
Alyssa U revealed that she went through humiliating procedures to keep her post – like jiggle tests to determine her fitness level. She explained:
“[They made us do] everything from standing in front of us with a clipboard and having us do a jiggle test to see what parts of our body were jiggling and if that was something she saw, then you weren’t performing at all.”
She also alleged that she was forced to work out in a frigid storeroom. The 23-year-old former Bills cheerleader explained that she was humiliated by being asked to sit on a man’s lap at a charity event and was told to smile when being groped and being bombarded by inappropriate comments. She shared:
“People really thought we had it good, that we were paid well and had this luxurious lifestyle.Seriously? I ended up feeling like a piece of meat.”
Along with the jiggle tests, the former Bills cheerleader revealed that she had to accept guidelines on how to eat, sleep, dress and the intimate products to use. Here is an example of what she alleges to:
“When menstruating, use a product that right for your menstrual flow. A tampon too big can irritate and develop fungus. A product left in too long can cause bacteria or fungus build up. Products can be changed at least every 4 hours. Except when sleeping, they can be left in for the night.”
