Lawsuit: Employee Too Hot for NYC Bank
Debbie Lorenzana says she lost her job at a Citibank because the men who worked there couldn’t handle her hot body.
Lorenzana, 33, is a single mom who says she has a long track record of high marks and awards from the companies where she has worked. She says her bosses at a Citibank branch in at the Chrysler Building in Manhattan told her that they couldn’t concentrate because she is too sexy.
Lorenzana says she was told she wasn’t allowed to wear turtlenecks, pencil skirts, or fitted business suits. She requested a transfer and got it, but was then fired.
Fox 5 News has contacted Citibank for a response, but as of Wednesday evening had not heard back.
The Village Voice showcased her plight with a cover story in its latest issue.
