Actress Eva Longoria has lost her Las Vegas nightclub Beso to bankruptcy, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned of an unlikely suitor that wants to acquire the financially distraught club.
Ashley Madison, an online dating service that caters mainly to those already in relationships, has reached out to the attorneys handling the Beso account expressing their interest in renaming and rebranding the club “as THE exclusive restaurant and club in Las Vegas for discrete meetings and intimate encounters.”
In the letter sent on July 14, 2011, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Ashley Madison CEO Noel Biderman states that while “there is great potential in the location...a main barrier to Beso’s success was its branding as a singles’ club.”
“We are extremely interested in stepping in to fill this void and with this letter we formally express our interest in exploring a potential acquisition with you that could hopefully take Beso LLC out of Chapter 11 protection,” Biderman writes to Schwartzer & McPherson Law Firm.
“We are saddened to learn of your client Beso LLC and its owner Eva Longoria’s financial difficulties with respect to their hospitality venture and their Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.”
Longoria, along with other various investors, opened the Las Vegas Beso club in 2009 in which time it fell into nearly $5.7 million in debt by 2011.
"Desperate Housewives" actressEva Longoriawill be the 2011 grand marshal of the Texas Cavaliers River Parade during San Antonio's Fiesta. The festival organizers are expecting about 250,000 people to watch the parade from the banks of the San Antonio river on April 11 at 7 p.m.and proceeds from the event will go to 40 charities, including the "Desperate Housewives" actress charity Eva's Heroes.
Longoria said in a recent interview that she "applauds them for taking the tradition and combining it with a philanthropic effort like children's charities." Eva's Heroes is based in San Antonio, Texas and helps teens and young adults who were born with developmental disabilities.
"I was extremely fortunate to grow up with an intellectually disabled sister," Longoria wrote on the charity's website. "My mother became a special education teacher because of her and therefore I have been involved with all facets of this disability since I could walk and talk."
The Desperate Housewives staractress has been sued by an investor who alleges that the interest payments Longoria has been receiving since pumping $1 million into her Beso restaurant-and-nightclub enterprise violated California lending law. Beso partner Mali Nachum states that Longoria contracted to invest $1 million of her own money into the restaurant-nightclub business in return for yearly interest payments of 8 percent and a 23.33 percent stake in the company, while Nachum and fellow investor Jonas Lawrence's owners' equity in Beso would reflect Eva's heightened share.
However,last month Nachum states that he discovered this loan agreement violated state usury law i.e.,eva wasn't legally entitled to 8 percent plus the 23.33 percent—and demanded that Beso LLC bring action against her to return whatever interest she had received so far, estimated at $4.6 million. Nachum is demanding at least $4 million in general damages, plus legal fees and the cancellation of any further interest payments to Longoria based on the original agreement.
A for the Desperate Housewives star Said "This is a desperate reaction in a lawsuit without merit by prior partners who, through their unauthorized and fraudulent actions, required Eva Longoria to seek reorganization protection through bankruptcy court in Nevada," .
