‘Too hot’ ex Citi-banker files sex discrimination complaint
By ANITuesday, June 29, 2010
WASHINGTON - Debrahlee Lorenzana, who was fired from her Citibank job for ‘being too sexy’, has filed a sex discrimination complaint against her former employer.
She and her attorney, Gloria Allred, are asking for a human rights investigation.
Lorenzana, 33, had previously filed suit against Citibank alleging that the management had criticized her for the way she dressed.
She claims that management indicated that she was considered too beautiful and had large breasts for the clothes she was wearing.
“Unlike Ms. Lorenzana, Citibank does not intend to try this case in the media and we reiterate that her termination was based on poor performance,” Myfoxny.com quoted Natalie Riper from Citi as saying in a statement.
“Although we can’t speak to her previous attention-seeking activities, her current attempts to gain personal publicity are as transparent as her legal claims. We remain confident that when all of the facts and documentation are presented, the claim will be dismissed,” Riper added. (ANI)
