In suits filed against other NFL teams, cheerleaders complained about men at corporate events groping them on golf courses and at casinos, about rules governing how much bread they can eat and how often they have to change their tampons.
The former cheerleaders for those teams also revealed details about their jobs, such as "jiggle tests" to see if they had put on weight.
The Buccaneers have 21 days to respond to the suit, Woods said. By then, she hopes, other women will have signed on to collect their back wages too.
Some optional corporate appearances are paid. But most charity events require that cheerleaders act as ambassadors free of charge.
The Buccaneers refused to comment on the suit Monday.
Cheerleaders know what their compensation will be when they join the squad, the lawyer acknowledged.
Buccaneers' cheerleaders "definitely had to comply with strict rules — no cursing, no photos of them drinking, how they had to maintain their hair," said Woods. But those weren't part of Pierre-Val's complaint. "Her suit is strictly about monetary compensation," Woods said.
