LMAO... woman banker claims she was sacked for being too attractive


By ken 
A female banker claims she was sacked because she was too attractive and proved a distraction to her male managers.

Debrahlee Lorenzana, 33, alleges that she was ordered to stop wearing pencil skirts, fitted business suits, tight trousers and high heels because her appearance was too much for her colleagues at Citibank to bear. She has filed a sex discrimination suit against the bank in New York and is seeking damages for loss of earnings and emotional distress. Miss Lorenzana was hired by Citibank in September 2008 as a $70,000 per year business banker, based in the Chrysler Building. After her interview – to which she wore a black Armani wrap dress and Christian Louboutin heels – she claims a colleague told her that the branch was "pretty much known for hiring pretty girls". 

Within weeks of her arrival, Miss Lorenzana alleged that she was summoned to a meeting with two male managers who pointed to her bottom and told her that her trousers were too tight. Her suit claims that she was given a list of items sh"I honestly couldn't believe it. I was in shock," she said yesterday. "They pulled me aside and told me I could not wear pencil skirts, business suits that were fitted – basically what every woman in New York wears to go to work." e should not wear. 

Miss Lorenzana wrote a letter to the human resources department complaining that other female employees were allowed to wear what they liked "because they were short, overweight and they didn't draw much attention, but since I was five foot six, 125 pounds, with a figure, it wasn't 'appropriate'". 
Miss Lorenzana said she yearned to be uglier. "If being less good-looking means being happy and finding love and not being sexually harassed and having a job where no one bothers you and no one questions you because of your looks then, definitely, I'd want that. I think of that every day." 
Meanwhile a Citibank spokesman had this to say: "We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we will defend against it vigorously. We do not condone or tolerate discrimination within our business for any reason." 
Wow: She is pretty indeed but if the allegation is true, then Citibank has erred. Damn
