Nine models and actresses claim the Golden Banana in Peabody used their likenesses without permission in social media advertising.

According to the Salem News, which first reported this story, Golden Banana lawyer Carlos Apostle told U.S. District Court Judge Leo Sorokin that attorneys representing Electra and eight other models who sued the club for using their likenesses without permission in social media advertising are not looking to settle the case.
