Woman claims she was fired from Citibank because she is too hot

[old steel]

Well you know i just had to check out her photos to see for myself and she does have a point i have to admit.



Everything about Debrahlee Lorenzana is hot. Even her name sizzles. At five-foot-six and 125 pounds, with soft eyes and flawless bronze skin, she is J.Lo curves meets Jessica Simpson rack meets Audrey Hepburn elegance—a head-turning beauty.

In many ways, the story of her life has been about getting attention from men—both the wanted and the unwanted kind. But when she got fired last summer from her job as a banker at a Citibank branch in Midtown—her bosses cited her work performance—she got even hotter. She sued Citigroup, claiming that she was fired solely because her bosses thought she was too hot.

This is the way Debbie Lorenzana tells it: Her bosses told her they couldn't concentrate on their work because her appearance was too distracting. They ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks. She was also forbidden to wear pencil skirts, three-inch heels, or fitted business suits. Lorenzana, a 33-year-old single mom, pointed out female colleagues whose clothing was far more revealing than hers: "They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention," she says.

As Lorenzana's lawsuit puts it, her bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear."

even if she loses the lawsuit, she can likely get a nice cover piece at penthouse/playboy, with nice payoff.

or she can do the "soft core" like a Maxim spread and try an "acting career"

she will make some bucks though

[Ares]

She looks like a woman here at the office. Almost creepy close, I wish could post a picture for comparison to prove it, but obviously I can't do that. :-\

I bet Citibank just settles this out of court. She'll get a good chunk of dough, never have to work again unless she gets a reality tv show...

Citibank will just roll the loss into the next bailout package. We'll all pay.

There is no way I'd hire this litigious bitch. Excuse the language but lawyers and their followers are part of what's killing this country.

[mamboni]

Yes, I do certify that she is hot hot hot! No doubt the tellers are staring at her ass and miscounting the money - wouldn't you?

What's ironically funny to me, is that my local bank has tellers just as hot, if not hotter than this gal.

One of them, even talked me into getting a credit card once. I cancelled the card later feeling like a fool, but 'hot' and 'banking' go hand in hand where I'm at. ;D

right.. if they utilized her charms correctly, she could have seduced a good profit through sales... assuming she has half a brain.

[kregener]

I remain dubious that a banking executive would be so STUPID as to tell an employee that they were "too hot" to wear certain clothes...much less fire one for it.

They have to run all that shit by Human Resources.

And HR is nothing if it is not totally Politically Correct...to a fault.

[Libertytree]

Hell!!! They should have hired her for PR.

[Atocha]

I propose a toast!

You are off your rockets RJB......they did wrong and you know it, specially now days as hard that it is to get a job.

The clothes usually make the woman but in this case the woman makes the clothes because even with a paper sack over her head she looks good.....to me she looks very professional.

[Neuro]

Shiti just got rid of their biggest off the books asset, now what do they propose to weigh up all their off the book liabilities. They are screwed!

My thoughts exactly!! Nothing wrong with being Hot---it's good for business.

[k-os]

The title of this thread made me laugh out loud.

There is no way that a man complained about what she was wearing. It must have been other women, likely very jealous catty women.

I had a boss once who complimented my legs publicly . . . at a distance with other people standing around. I was not put off by it, it wasn't lewd - it was a compliment! Someone must have said something to him about harassment(?), because for the next 3 years, he apologized to me at least a dozen times for telling me I had nice legs. Weird.

It's these crazy litigious bitches who make actual sexual harassment cases look foolish, and who make people think that they can't say something nice to someone else. It's sad.

No wonder men think we're crazy. We are!

She had better get herself some sort of playboy, maxim, etc. deal, because no one is going to hire her.

Man - Just tell her !!

Tell her to stand against the wall, and make this pose *snap*, then lean forward a bit and take that pose *snap*, tell her to work it, tussle that hair a little .. pout for the camera .. *snap*

Sometimes in situations like this, you just have to take control.

Im sure she will understand :)

Well spotted. I know exactly what you mean :)

[Quantum]

This sounds like an absolute load.

She is decent looking, but nothing special. I think she is an egomaniac who thinks she's something far more than she really is. And wants money to "prove" it.

Sh*tibank would want "hot" women, since it brings in wealthy customers.

You left the door wide open.......

[Ponce]

When my X came out of high school she started working as a runner in a large bank in NY city.......from the waist up she would walk like and Indian with a rigid body........but........from the waist down she could create an earthquake, so they told her to wear a corset hahahahah, that was back in 1968.

She became my wife a year later and wanted to know something about being a Dr. so that she started working in a hospital as a candy stripper ........anyway, the other girls would wear their skirts between the top of their legs and their knees, but not her......they told her to wear her skirt all the way down to her knees because her legs were too good looking LOL ;D

She would get mad about the above but at the same time she would smile, and me with her ;D ;D ;D

[k-os]

You left the door wide open.......


For the record, I never said I had nice legs, he did. I believe the correct term is "chicken legs". . . here ya go, my legs on Easter.

[ximmy]

The woman, she is very beautiful, no?... LOL

[Serpo]

Its OK they have found her replacement

I'd have to agree, she's attractive, but certainly not what I expected after reading the story, I was expecting a little more :D Latinas like that are actually common around these parts

K-os ....you don't have

We need to she what you look like in a short dress and low cut blouse. Hey just saying. ;)

[Sparky]

Put me in the group that says she's not worthy of the thread title.

She's a 7; some guys then add a point for the slut look; some take one away.

And she's also sporting enough silicone to waterproof the Titanic.

[old steel]

I dunno to me she has that how shall we say ummm "je ne sais quoi"

Yea that's it.

Since I first saw that pic 30 seconds ago, 7 other people have looked at it. It's up to almost 100 views.

You seem like a very real and down to earth person k-os, I commend you for it. It is certainly a rare trait to find in today's women.

[Ponce]

To me shes a nine, and I am veryyyyyy picky.........besides that for the kind of a job that she had she must have some brain......

You are right Ponce, we shouldn't be too quick to judge just because she's attractive. BTW, nice legs k-os. She obviously had brains as well. We just don't know the full story.

Thanks NordicBerserker. I know that is a very high compliment coming from you. Didn't you previously have the bible quote in your signature about women needing to keep their mouths shut? (Sorry for the horrible paraphrasing).

That was me.

1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
1Ti 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

I like to point out the Scriptures that are conveniently swept under the rug to avoid controversy by the mainstream churches. Plus it got under gb's skin so, I couldn't resist. ;D

Anyway I've enjoyed talking with you in the chats and around the boards, I think unanimously GSUSers would agree you seem level headed and are one of the nicest people on the forums. You are correct though I don't give out compliments to often so if I do ya know I mean it. ;)

Meh, smites don't mean much IMO I just look at the number of applause which as of now you have like 2x mine so apparently you are doing something right.

Tell you a secret, I don't even know how many posts, semites or applause I have because I never look at them.........

She also has over double the amount of posts that you have.
Not implying anything. K-os is good in my books.
