Shark Tank's Daymond John was "unaware" he was booked to host an event at a Florida strip club

Deadline

A billboard announcing that John would be hosting an event Saturday at the Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club in West Palm Beach was the first the Shark Tank panelist heard of the event, his spokesperson says, blaming a third-party booking company. “Daymond works with a booking company that books him for nightclub appearances every now and then,” the spokesperson tells Deadline. “He was unaware of the type of venue this appearance was scheduled for, and once he was made aware, he immediately decided to not participate in the appearance and informed both the booking company and the venue that he will not be attending and does not want to be tied to this event. All advertising relating to the event is in the process of being removed.”
