A Houston woman said she is done practicing pole dancing at home after a mishap led to two apartments being flooded.
Asha Gilbert was filming her pole dancing practice July 6 at her west Houston apartment when the pole came loose from the ceiling and struck a fire sprinkler.
The video shows water spraying out of the sprinkler to flood Gilbert’s apartment and that of a neighbor.
“Immediately, I’m in shock because I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, this cannot be happening to me,'” Gilbert told KTRK-TV.
Gilbert said she had only installed the pole three days earlier.
“It wasn’t even a thought that it could possibly hit the sprinkler,” Gilbert said. “We were more worried about it hitting a wall.”
She said her furniture was ruined and she had to move to another unit due to the damage. Gilbert said her downstairs neighbor was understanding about the water damage.
“I explained everything, and she was very, very cool and understanding, and I appreciated that,” Gilbert said.
She said she will not be pole dancing at home anymore.
