I had a friend in this exact situation with 10K on his Amex card. He first claimed it wasn't him in the champagne room, but the club promptly sent Amex photos of him leaving the champagne room. He still contested it with Amex, claiming he was coerced/ripped off. He kept contesting it for months, threatened to cancel his card, etc. Eventually Amex ended up covering the entire bill.

I was once told by a man in Hollywood production that it was widely known that Levar Burton had the biggest cock in Hollywood. I can’t elaborate any further because that’s all he said, but he seemed like a guy who would make it his business to know such things
