The story of the 'Hustlers' is based on a 2015 New York Magazine article by Jessica Pressler, which detailed the story of a group of strippers who banded together to scam wealthy men out of thousands of dollars. The film adaptation, directed by Lorene Scafaria and starring Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, and Cardi B, was released in 2019 and received positive reviews for its performances and storytelling.But what happened to the real-life individuals portrayed in the film?The leader of the group, Samantha Barbash, was arrested and pleaded guilty to several charges, including assault, grand larceny, and conspiracy. She was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay restitution to her victims. Her co-conspirator, Roselyn Keo, pleaded guilty to similar charges and was sentenced to five years probation, as well as ordered to pay restitution. Both women have kept a low profile since their legal troubles, with Barbash reportedly working in the beauty industry.Another member of the group, Karina Pascucci, pleaded guilty to grand larceny and was sentenced to five years probation. She has since gone on to become an entrepreneur, with her own business selling skincare products.The victims of the scam, meanwhile, have mostly moved on with their lives, with some even showing support for the women and the film. One victim, who was scammed out of $200,000, said he was 'flattered' to be portrayed in the movie and that he 'had a good time' with Barbash.In conclusion, the real-life individuals portrayed in the film 'Hustlers' have had vastly different outcomes since the events depicted in the movie. While some have faced legal consequences, others have gone on to successful business ventures. Though the movie is a fictionalized version of the true events, it has brought renewed attention to the story and its participants.
