Purple Lounge Casino Parent Company Closes Two Years After Disney BJ Scandal
The parent company of now defunct Purple Lounge Casino and Poker Room, Mediacorp plc, has ceased trading on the London Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
Purple Lounge shut down in April of last year due to what Mediacorp termed “liquidity issues”.
But Mediacorp months earlier had been embroiled in a messy sex scandal involving one of its non-executive Directors, Chris Gorman.
It was nearly two years to the day that Gorman’s wife, Mary Gorman, 43, was charged with performing oral sex on an unknown African American man during a hip hop event at the Roxy Club in Orlando, outside of Disney World, while her husband watched.
Chris, 44, was also taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest. Those charges were later dropped. The couple was on a family vacation at the time. Their two small children were reportedly left back at their hotel room under adult supervision.
Mrs. Gorman was also charged with drug possession and assault on a police officer, the later of which resulted in Judge Mike Murphy throwing out a deal that would have had Ms. Gorman cleaning toilets in lieu of going to prison.
The power couple at the time was said to be worth £45 million.
