On the occasion of the broadcast of the film Queens on Sunday October 2, 2022, from 9:05 p.m. on TF1 series films, Télé Star reveals to you whether the scenario of this feature film is based on a story that really happened or not.

Released in cinemas in 2019, the movie called Queensworn by Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer and Lili Reinhart, will be broadcast Sunday, October 2, 2022, from 9:05 p.m. on the channel TF1 film series. Directed by Lorene Scafariathis feature film begins in 2014. Dorothy, a stripper from New York embodied on screen by Constance Wuis invited by a journalist, performed by Julia Stiles. The latter is working on an article recounting her activities under the pseudonym of Destiny, alongside her former mentor, Ramona Vega, played by the singer Jennifer Lopez. Seven years earlier, Dorothy was working under the name Destiny at Moves to help her grandmother financially.

Ramona then took Destiny under her wing to help her earn more money. The two women quickly formed a good duo. The following year, the global financial crisis of 2007-2008 hit and both women found themselves financially strained. But the Moves has changed and it is impossible for Destiny and Ramona to regain their lives as before. With the help of two new Ramona proteges, the two women combined their talents to set up a scam to make as much money as possible, and take their revenge on the clientele working on Wall Street. Their plan had worked like a charm, but easy money and life made them take more and more risks.

Queens: strippers who rip off their rich clients

For the record, the film Queens is inspired by the true story of a group of strippers ripping off their wealthy clients, recounted in an article written by journalist Jessica Pressler, and published in the magazine New York. “We show a universe that has already been widely represented in cinema and television, but this time from another point of view: that of the dancers. It is a film at the crossroads of the world of crime and that of strip clubs. We are also interested in the economic upheavals that have affected the lives of many people, including those of our heroines. Jessica Pressler’s article was a powerful narrative with fascinating characters who constantly face prejudices about their profession, and form strong friendships that can sometimes get them into trouble.“, explained director Lorene Scafaria.
