"We have zero tolerance for such behavior," Michael Morton told the Review-Journal. Morton is a co-owner of the company that owns N9NE steakhouse, the nightclub Rain and the pool lounge Skin at the Palms.
During The Real World: Las Vegas' fifth episode broadcast on October 8, one of the show's female roommates reportedly complained that Portugal was "a molester" to her castmates. A night-vision bedroom camera also showed a female castmember complaining when Portugal crawled into her bed, according to the Review-Journal.
Portugal had been tasked with supervising The Real World: Las Vegas' seven castmembers while they worked at the Rain nightclub and also often partied with them in their suite at the Palms, according to the Review-Journal.
"Obviously, we were unaware of the things that were going on," Morton told the Review-Journal.
