Extract: Debrahlee Lorenzana is filing a lawsuit against Citibank because they fired her, she says, for the strangest reason: she's too hot.

....Her bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear," she says

What is there in either article that suggests she was showing cleavage at work?

[SIDENET]

I’d hit it.

Banks don't have axes to grind. They boot people out for being out of balance, inappropriate, for theft or incompetence.

NOBODY goes after people for looking good, it probably is a plus that would bring customers in more.

Well, instead of posting cleavage baring photos of her, perhaps her attorney could post pics of what she actually wore. Maybe even some bank surveilance camera footage.

Most young women these days think cleavage is okay. I disagree.

Thanks for posting that passage. It’s a good one.

Half the reason women are so unhappy these days is that they have tried to take over men’s roles in the world. Not women who are forced to, mind you, but ones who have done so on purpose.

Apparantly we both have the same sense of humor.

I was making no diagnosis, just being humorous about her exagerrated stance.

[Impy]

Revolting. She must have said “no” to her boss.

So if a guy showed up at Citi dressed like and they fired him would Cuomo and NY State would be all over them?

[KC_Conspirator]

No doubt. Fat too.
