Videos of Waffle House Chairman Smothering Housekeeper With His Gravy Violated Privacy

Waffle House boss liked his maid.

If you don’t live in the South, you may never have been to a Waffle House. Before anyone points out that Waffle House has a number of locations in the North these days, you’re wrong — anywhere with a Waffle House is automatically the South. It’s the new Mason-Dixon line.

In any event, the Waffle House is a chain of greasy spoons that consumes more lard than most countries and offers trainee positions to law students.

The Chairman of Waffle House, Joe Rogers Jr., is in a Georgia courtroom because his housekeeper accused him of demanding sex acts from her over the course of her eight years of service. Rogers has admitted to the affair — which was a gimme because nothing associated with a Waffle House has been cleaned since 1985 — but denies that he forced his maid to give him a half and half with his coffee.

While the case is not over, Rogers has scored a critical victory…

The Rogers household housekeeper decided to record her liaisons with the breakfast magnate to set up her charge of sexual battery and/or blackmail the hell out of Rogers, depending on your read of the situation:

As part of the case, the judge seized sexual recordings of the two that included a video and about 15 audio recordings, according to court documents.

The videotape was viewed in a closed court hearing before the judge decided it was unlawfully recorded and did not show a sexual assault, court documents filed Friday June 14 show.

“The video recording makes it clear that defendant was a willing participant in the sexual encounter and is not the victim of sexual battery,” the judge wrote.

Sure, recording these romps violated Rogers’s privacy. But the real question is why she recorded 17 encounters of her getting covered, smothered, topped, and going “All the Way” that undermined her claim? Whether she was setting up a legitimate sexual battery claim or just trying to cash in, shouldn’t she have limited her recordings to events that proved her claim? This shouldn’t take a rocket scientist.

Then again, it seems like the housekeeper and her attorneys are far from rocket scientists:

For the first time, details of how the woman recorded the sexual encounter were revealed.

The court document says that the defendant’s attorneys met with her in a private investigator’s office where the investigator ordered her a “spy camera” — a camera disguised as a cellphone — that would be used for the recording.

A “camera disguised as a cellphone.” You know what the rest of us call those?

Cellphones.
