If being ugly was the reason, then how did they get hired in the first place?

Listen honey, I don't think you will find this guy on the runway.

If looks are in the job description they don’t have a case.
I see nothing wrong with a company hiring who they want based on looks. Gets tricky when you let existing employees go, though, since they got hired probably based on one set of looks.
People get hired based on education, talent, skill, depends on the job. Some jobs call for certain looks, like a spokesmodel at a trade show.

Statement: "...... and they're treating women differently than they're treating men."
Response: Something that our society desperately needs.

Management needs to realize that men don’t all like the same type of look. Some prefer curvier women, some prefer thinner women, some prefer taller... or shorter... or whatever. To only provide one “look” in their female employees is a bad business decision.
The women pictured in the article aren’t super gorgeous, but they’re definitely attractive (imho).
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
I remember reading a National Law Review article either last year, or perhaps two years ago, that described the many recent decisions that federal courts have made, making it much harder for employers to discriminate on a basis of noncomformity for gender stereotypes, which is a fancy way of describing what is being alleged here.
I'm in no way an authority in this are, or even casually knowledgeable, but it is an interesting case. If club owners can't pick their decorative dancers based on physical appearance, then why couldn't a fat, old woman sue to have access to the runway during NY city's fashion week?
This seems a very slippery slope, like so many things today.

That’s the thing: they’re not ugly. Apparently, they weren’t tall enough to work in the revamped lounge.
To: Fawn
I agree. People make judgements based on other people’s looks all the time.

“... and they’re treating women differently than they’re treating men.”
Now where in the heck did she get an idea like that?

If being ugly was the reason, then how did they get hired in the first place? Management saw them when they hired them. If the women were not receptive to tolerating boorish behavior by the boss(es) (pats on the bottom, suggestive behavior), it could be behind the dismissals (with later denial by management of its inappropriate behavior, should that be addressed). Sometimes these issues are much more complicated than they appear.
To: Fawn
but they can hire who they want.Maybe these two don't like hot tubs, or look good when wet.

. . . for lacking 'runway model' looks
They want them to look unhealthy, undernourished, as if they can't walk, and have STDs?
