You know you’ve had a bad weekend when you’re a lawyer and a video of your bare ass is making its rounds on the internet.

Stephanie Hendricks, a graduate of Willamette Law who clerked for the Oregon Supreme Court after graduation, got into this mess after her boyfriend broke up with her. The solo practitioner allegedly tried to skip out on a $6 taxi fare, and that’s when all of the fun began. From the New York Post:

Hendricks has since been charged with a number of crimes, including theft of services, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and exposure, but the biggest worry on her mind is whether her drunken debauchery will “sink her career.” After all, she “solicit[s] business from the public,” and this isn’t good marketing.

Don’t worry, this panty dropper is going the Gloria Gaynor route: she will survive, if only because she thinks “[e]verybody has something like this [that] happened to them.” By all means, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, but you’re the only attorney whose ass we’ve seen in the news recently.
We just hope she wasn’t wearing granny panties this weekend.
