The backstory: Lopez walked out of his show last Friday at Eagle Mountain Casino over a half an hour earlier than he was scheduled to. 

  • The comedian’s PR team told TMZ that the audience was unruly, blaming the casino for failing to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Lopez was initially scheduled for a show on April 20 at Eagle Mountain Casino but canceled it just one hour ahead of time due to a medical emergency. 

Driving the news: Eagle Mountain Casino released a statement refuting the claims from Lopez’s team. 

  • The casino said that Lopez and his private security had every opportunity to inform the casino team if they wanted a guest removed from the show but did not. The two comedians who opened for Lopez also did not have any concerns or issues with the crowd.

  • Attendees can also request tickets for another show this year of equal or lesser value. 

What they’re saying: “While we did see guests yelling out, we see recordings showing those saying – we love you, can we buy you a drink, etc. We also know that at a comedy show, there are also likely some outbursts that casino security would have been happy to address had any issue been made known,” said Assistant General Manager Tiffani Sahagun in a statement. “We only want for our guests to have a safe and enjoyable experience, and we want our entertainers to feel safe and enjoy coming to Porterville as well.”
