Sara Ure Robinson was fired by the Hard Rock hotel/casino after complaining about Dennis Rodman’s behavior. Now Sara Robinson has won a $225,000 judgement against perv Dennis Rodman. Read more on this story below!

Dennis Rodman’s freaky behavior has gotten him into trouble yet again.

A motion for a default judgment was approved on Monday after the former NBA star, Dennis Rodman, failed to respond to a lawsuit filed against him and the Hard Rock by Sara Ure.

Sara said in 2006, while she was working as a beverage manager at the Hard Rock hotel, that Dennis Rodman made a scene by grabbing her, forcing her to dance with him and slapping her butt.

Ure complained to the Hard Rock and was told Rodman would be banned from the establishment. But Rodman did come back and made another scene. When she complained a second time about Rodman’s behavior, she was fired.

Sara filed a discrimination claim against the hotel, claiming she was fired in retaliation for complaining about a hostile work environment there. Those claims were resolved in mediation.

“Defendant Rodman injured and humiliated Ms. Ure at her place of employment, which is simply one of the latest incidents in an almost decade-long practice of violence and blatant disregard for the safety of others,” attorneys Kathleen England and Jocelyn Cortez said in their April 21 motion for a default judgment.

In seeking $125,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages, they said the slim, 5-foot 10-inch Ure suffered embarrassment, humiliation and anxiety at the hands of the 6-foot-7-inch, 210-pound Rodman.

Sara’s attorneys stated that Dennis Rodman “grabbed and held Ms. Ure against her will, forced her to ‘dance’ with him in the middle of her place of employment, and rubbed his body against hers. Defendant Rodman then smacked Ms. Ure on the bottom when she managed to escape from his grip. This demeaning assault and battery occurred in front of at least one of Ms. Ure’s subordinate employees, her co-workers and Hard Rock Casino patrons.”

Ure, the attorneys said, “broke into tears and left work early, which was embarrassing,” and later had to explain Rodman’s attack to her fiancé and to Hard Rock officials.

Sara Ure initially sued under the name Sara Robinson, but now goes by her married name.
