The acting director of an Aagency in Washington state’s most populous county resigned after a homelessness conference earlier this month featured lap dances, according to The Seattle Times.

A King County spokesperson told the Times that Kira Zylstra resigned last weekend after a Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) investigation of “a performance that was inappropriate for the conference” and the leadership of the agency, All Home, was announced, according to the Times.

“The investigation of the event and the leadership of All Home is currently underway,” spokesperson Sherry Hamilton said in an email to the newspaper.

DCHS chief of staff Denise Rothleutner will run the agency in the meantime, according to the Times.

Witnesses said the performer, Beyonce Black St. James, performed topless at the Dec. 9 conference and kissed multiple attendees. Government employees, nonprofit workers and clergy attended the event, according to the Times.

“I’m not personally offended by it, it just seemed so wrong and out of place for what we were there for,” the Rev. Bill Kirlin-Hackett told the newspaper. “I just knew it was going to hit social media and when it hit social media, this is kind of like what every opponent of the collective work would wish for.”

Zylstra’s ouster comes as the county, Seattle and suburban governing authorities voted to create a more powerful “regional homelessness authority” that may make All Home obsolete, the Times noted.
