She’s already seen a print version of the story-though not her version of the story-reported by Jessica Pressler in a New York magazine feature that was used as the basis for the Hustlers screenplay. It’s not that Barbash is opposed to seeing a movie adaptation of the events that led to those charges-that she, Roselyn Keo, and two other colleagues allegedly drugged men and stole at least $200,000 from them. The critically acclaimed movie-which grossed over $33 million in its opening weekend and has thrust Lopez into early awards conversations-has put Barbash’s name back into newspaper headlines for the first time since 2017, when she pleaded guilty to conspiracy, assault, and grand larceny in exchange for five years’ probation. Samantha Barbash, the Bronx-born brunette who inspired Jennifer Lopez’s character in Hustlers, has conflicting thoughts on the Lorene Scafaria film.
