Yes, You Are Still Legally Allowed To Twerk In Louisiana

A press release claiming DeQuincy, Louisiana, has made twerking illegal was posted to the website 'PRLog ' on Tuesday.

Well, it's just a rumour and there is no such thing!

     




According to the fake press release, Mayor Maynard Wilkens said, “Twerking is a defiant act against Jesus,” and twerking would be punishable by 30 days in county jail. The actual mayor of DeQuincy is Lawrence Henagan, however, and he didn’t say that.

DeQuincy Mayor Lawrence Henagan said this statement regarding the hoax: "[The rumoured twerking ban is] a bunch of hogwash. There's nothing to it."

Yes, he said "hogwash."

DeQuincy is a town of less than 4,000, two hours east of Houston.

     


This isn’t the first fake story about the town. According to The Times-Picayune, fake press releases have circulated claiming the town banned Koreans from living there and gave all its students guns.
