Debrahlee Lorenzana - Too Hot?

Debrahlee Lorenzana

I'm not sure about this one. 33 year old Debrahlee Lorenza was canned from her job at a Manhattan branch of Citibank. She's suing parent company Citigroup, alleging she was fired for being too hot. She alleges that she was getting into trouble over her outfits, and that her superiors, unable to concentrate, ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks, pencil skirts, three-inch heels or fitted business suits. She says that she doesn't want to be famous. So why is she talking to the media? Maybe she doesn't want fame, just a little attention? Maybe that's why she dresses the way she does. Or maybe that's why she chose to have some enhancement surgery. To her credit, she claims that she's turned down offers for a TV reality show and for a spread in Playboy. Does your boss have the right to tell you how to dress? (Mine does.) On the other hand, are her fellow former male co-workers acting like little boys?

The verdict could be interesting. After a decision is made, either way, I see a book deal, a movie, or at least a reality show...
