Smart move.
Woman gets fired. Realizes it is a tough market. Wants to either move into modeling or sideline as a model or wants to find a rich sugar daddy / husband.
Files a suit that she may or may not win. Slips to the press something that is so outrageous that it is sure to get attention. Add in some semi model shots and she is sure to get another job offer or modeling work or hubby.
It's actually a very smart move for her to file this lawsuit for the publicity alone.
