"AFFLUENZA" TEEN HAD TO ASK MOM FOR STRIPPER MONEY

Have you been following the saga of Ethan Couch, the “affluenza” teen over the holidays? This is the rich kid who killed four people and injured nine others while driving drunk, and at his trial his attorneys argued that the teen suffered from “affluenza” – he was so pampered he didn’t know right from wrong – and needed rehabilitation instead of prison. The judge sentenced him to probation, the kid posted pictures online of himself drinking, and before the cops could come arrest him he disappeared, only to turn up hiding out in Mexico with his mother. On Friday, the story came out that, while staying at the Mexican resort, Ethan’s mother was awakened by a knock at the door. There was her son, Ethan, with a waiter and manager from a nearby strip club. The employees said Ethan didn’t have enough money to pay his bar tab. They wouldn’t leave until mom Tonya Couch covered the bill.
