A STRIP club operating company of Ultra Tune multi-millionaire Sean Buckley is no longer trying to bankrupt a former dancer for not repaying a $14,000 boob job loan.

Ex-Gold Coast stripper Haylee Baxter (above) was “shocked” when receiving bankruptcy proceedings last  month from NRA Enterprises.

Mr Buckley is a director of NRA which runs Surfers Paradise strip club Toybox Showgirls. NRA loaned Ms Baxter the money for breast surgery in 2019, to be repaid at $390 a month.

The bankruptcy proceedings have been withdrawn, with lawyer Ian Hone, speaking on Mr Buckley’s behalf, telling the Bulletin on Friday: “The proceedings are resolved.” He declined to say how they had been resolved or why.

Ms Baxter – who has said she wished she’d never had the surgery and “liked my old ones better – declined to comment.

She had planned to challenge the bankruptcy, using a letter to her dated October  2019 from then-NRA director Jimmy Seoud that waived her $390-a-month repayments.

Mr Seoud said: “I’m just happy for Haylee  it’s over.”

Stripper facing bankruptcy after boob job loan bust-up - August 24 

A STRIP club operating company of Ultra Tune multi-millionaire Sean Buckley is trying to bankrupt a former dancer for not repaying a $14,000 loan for a boob job. 

Ex-Gold Coast-based stripper Haylee Baxter is “shocked” at being served bankruptcy proceedings last week by NRA Enterprises. Mr Buckley is a director of NRA which runs Surfers Paradise strip club Toybox Showgirls.

Ms Baxter briefly worked at Toybox and has claimed she was tricked into signing a document to repay $390 a month for the loan for breast surgery.

NRA Enterprises, which has disputed the claim she was tricked, chased her for the money by taking her to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal in 2019.

An adjudicator initially dismissed it when NRA failed to turn up to a hearing. But the strip club won an appeal and Ms Baxter – who had claimed the surgery was a gift from Mr Buckley to star in Ultra Tune’s Charlie Sheen TV ad – was ordered to repay a discounted $10,500.

Ultra Tune is understood to have spent about $500,000 for the Sheen ad.

Ms Baxter was served with bankruptcy proceedings on Friday night, and given 21 days to repay the loan or respond.

“I wish I’d never had the surgery. I like my old ones better, I don’t like my boobs now and there’s all this drama,” she said.

Ms Baxter, who lives in locked down regional NSW, said her financial situation wasn’t “anything special” right now whilst unable to work.

She plans to challenge the bankruptcy using a letter to her dated October, 2019, from then-NRA director Jimmy Seoud that waives repayments.

In the letter, seen by the Bulletin, Mr Seoud writes: “As a director of NRA Enterprises, I, Jimmy Seoud, have come to an agreement to terminate this contract due to hardship suffered by Haylee Baxter. Miss Baxter has no outstanding loans to NRA Enterprises.”

Mr Seoud, an ex-Toybox manager and ex-NRA director, was close friends with Mr Buckley but they fell out after duelling in the Fair Work Commission about Mr Seoud’s termination from Toybox.

Mr Seoud was critical of the bankruptcy move by Mr Buckley’s NRA: “The guy’s a millionaire, what’s he going to do by bankrupting her for $10,500?”

Mr Seoud also claimed two other dancers at Toybox had been given similar boob surgery loans around same time but were not being forced to repay theirs.

Asked what prompted the bankruptcy action, Mr Buckley said to contact lawyer Ian Hone, adding: “I wouldn’t comment on anything Jimmy has to say.”

Mr Buckley said he knew nothing about Mr Seoud’s October, 2019, letter to Ms Baxter.

Melbourne lawyer Mr Hone said there “was no authority to give any waiver”.

“We don’t accept the waiver properly exists.

“If proffered then we do imagine action will be taken in respect of Mr Seoud and provenance of that document.

“The reason we are serving bankruptcy proceedings is we hold a judgment and there’s no reason it’s not enforceable.”

Asked about other Toybox dancers with loans for boob jobs who were not being made to repay them, Mr Hone said: “The circumstances are different in every case.”

Separately, Mr Buckley launched civil legal action earlier this year in a bid to suppress recordings of him made by ex-partner Jennifer Cruz Cole.
