An Atlanta woman went on camera with TMZ TV and said David Copperfield made a move on her during his Vegas show, just days before the FBI raided his Vegas warehouse and seized digital camera equipment and a computer hard drive.
The woman -- Amanda from Atlanta -- says Copperfield's people singled her out before the show and "marked" her for David to invite her onstage during the performance. Afterward, Amanda, who was wearing an extremely short dress, says David wanted to meet her backstage, where she was escorted by one of his assistants.
As TMZ first reported, sources say Copperfield has used his show to "pick up women," targeting them in the audience, bringing them backstage after the show, taking their pictures with a digital camera, and then interviewing them on the things they liked. In particular, we're told the women were asked if they liked the Bahamas -- Copperfield owns a series of islands there.
The investigation was triggered by a Seattle woman who claims Copperfield sexually assaulted her in the Bahamas. Copperfield denies any wrongdoing.
Other women have written on the TMZ message board, recounting experiences where Copperfield allegedly hit on them during his shows.
To hear Amanda's story and the tales of other women, watch TMZ tonight. Check your local listings.
196. Ok first of all, Amanda is a close friend and as far from a whore as it gets. She is a classy lady who knows how to dress.
Second, She didn't go to tmz they came to her after her husbands blog was picked up on this sight. She did a quick interview w/tmz and that was it. She just thought it was odd how things happened when she went to David Coperfields show and one thing led to another.
You should get your facts straight before you start trying to destroy a persons character. She has not made any comments about David Copperfield trying to DO anything to her, Just that what happened to her had some simularities to what the other woman had mentioned.
Third, When you're in Las Vegas you don't dress like a grandma in church. For those who have been there I'm sure alot more skin is shown than the tasteful yet sexy outfit Amanda was wearing.
Amanda is a wonderful person with a big heart and I'm sure that your comments are killing her.
197. All women in America.... it's pretty clear from reading the postings on this site that the Taliban are now in charge.... line up and pick up your burqa. Dress in anything but a burqa and you'll be described as a whore and "asking for it"
198. people please..! this is a guy who has billions of $ and was engaged to claudia schiffer... i think he can do better than these tarts..and i doubt he has to use a house in the bahamas to get some ass...id do him ...but he has to tell me how he made that plane disapear!
201. I saw the picture of Amanda, and her dress was way too short!! She looked as though she was trying too hard to get attention. The women love for David to talk to them. I have not heard aything that David has done that is considered illegal about picking up women. The women don't have to give out their information, or go on stage with him, if they choose not to. They certainly don't have to fly off to Jamaica to visit him for whatever reason. That girl is claiming she went to visit him because of her career. She was trying to use him!!!! I guess in the end, she got used!!! She is now mad, and she wants money more than she wants any kind of justice. I am not buying the rape story, but I will buy a very bad date story.
