George Lopez Accused Of Walking Out of Gig Early ... Venue Shades Him!!!

Update

2:00 PM PT -- George Lopez's team has responded to the claims, placing the blame at the feet of Eagle Mountain Casino in a statement to TMZ, saying, "It’s the venue or casino’s job to provide a good experience for both the artist and the fans, but the casino failed in this regard. The audience was overserved and unruly, and the casino staff was unable to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for the artist and guests."

"George’s personal security team worked with the venue security staff to maintain order, ensure safety, and eject disruptive individuals. Unfortunately, the casino security team was not adequate to accomplish this task. George is not obligated to perform in an unsafe environment. He feels badly that those who came to see the show were unable to do so as a result.”
