Fired for being "too hot"

[Hum]

(Reuters) - A New Jersey woman said on Monday that she was dismissed from a temporary job at a New York lingerie warehouse because her male employers felt she was too busty and dressed too provocatively for the workplace.

Wearing a form-fitting sequined black dress and black leather, sequin-studded boots, Lauren Odes, 29, said her Orthodox Jewish employers at Native Intimates told her that outfit and others like it were "too hot" for the warehouse.

"We should not be judged by the size of our breasts or the shape of our body,"

Odes said.

Odes's attorney, celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, said she filed a gender and religious discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in New York.

Odes said she felt her wardrobe was appropriate for a business that sells "thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say 'hot' in the buttocks area." :huh:

Media photographers climbed on chairs and crashed into each other as Odes held a pose and Allred held up a series of purple, black and brown outfits she said also led to the woman's dismissal.

Odes said that on successive days during her week-long employment in late April she was warned that her attire was too alluring, that her breasts should be taped down to make them look smaller, and that she was asked to wear a red bathrobe to cover one outfit.

Looks like a transvestite lol

Yeah, well, Freud was right. Sexual repression is the key to almost all problems in society. Especially stupid ones like these.

If that's the reason, sue for unfair dismissal as clearly, not hot

Wait a second...

Are we mis-interpreting the comment? Warehouse work, and she's wearing a dress and leather. Too

hot could mean temperature. Maybe she was too stinky. heh

Jews have this issue with decency, they require their employees to wear something that isn't showing off their bodies, not a bloody Burqa, but still.

Every work place can set its own regulations regarding clothing.

Plus she's SO not hot, she is borderline fugly, I wouldn't touch her with a laser dot.

[Dan~]

She has big arms! Yer she wasn't fired for being too hot, I think she/it just wants to use that in court but will fail

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

It was the warehouse, not the sales floor

[x-scratch]

kinda reminds me of my ex g/f

[moloko]

So where is the hot chick that got fired?

[Hum]

Her lawyer looks far worse.

Edited her out. :laugh:

If they really told her to tape down her boobs to make them look smaller, that's over the line and she may have a case. But the rest of it? Even if it is a lingerie store, they're allowed to set rules about what employees can wear, and it's still a business. I find it really hard to believe the media was falling all over themselves to take photos of her anyway O_o She's not famous, and not ugly, but not smoking hot either.

1) She's not hot.

2) She's not been fired for "being hot", "her body" or "religious reasons" but rather "how she dressed in her workplace".

[Draken]

she's NOT hot, may be voluptuous, but not hot :pinch:

[nominak]

Debrahlee Lorenzana, buxom banker who sued Citibank, says Gloria Allred was playing to media

When the cameras left, so did Gloria.

At least that?s what one of Gloria Allred?s former clients, too-hot-for-work banker Debrahlee Lorenzana, said of the high-profile celebrity litigator.

Lorenzana, a buxom beauty who was axed from her job at Citigroup in 2010, said she fought the bank by herself in arbitration after Allred dropped her as a client.

?If I could turn back time, I would have not chosen Gloria Allred as my lawyer,? she said.

The 35-year-old knockout sued her former employer for allegedly canning her over her killer curves.

<snipped>

Oohft. No question about the killer curves on this one.

On topic, there is a difference between being fired for breaching dress code and being fired for being 'too hot'.

[butilikethecookie]

She's ugly as hell! She looks like the retarded horse from family guy

[The Laughing Man]

Oh god imagine waking up next to that after a party!
