The former Citi banker filed a complaint today with New York's Division of Human Rights, charging that she was fired because she reported sexual harassment at the hands of male co-workers and was simply too hot for her male managers. Lorenzana, 33, has said the ogling men were too distracted by her voluptuous curves to focus on their work. Richard Drew, AP Former Citibank employee Debrahlee Lorenzana, who claims she was fired for being too hot, filed a complaint Monday with New York's Division of Human ...
I really wanted to like Debrahlee Lorenzana. Well not like, per se, but definitely support her -- sort of. The 33-year-old hot mom who allegedly got fired for being too sexy for the bank where she worked could have been on the front lines of the new millennium sexual harassment debate. Because sexual harassment ain't what it used to be. Gone are the days of "Mad Men" -- which despite being a kick-ass escape from reality -- is not a reality in which I'd ever want to work. These days harassment is hardly as obvious as a hard pinch on the behind or a condescending term of endearment in the ...
(June 10) -- The headline-making New York banker who says Citibank fired her for being too hot underwent four plastic surgery procedures, including two breast augmentations, the New York Daily News reports. A 2003 Discovery Health Channel series dug up by the newspaper reveals that the now-famous assets of Debrahlee Lorenzana weren't exactly natural. Footage from "Plastic Surgery New York Style" shows a then-26-year-old Lorenzana preparing for her fourth cosmetic procedure -- a second breast augmentation. She said she wanted to achieve "huge double D's." "I love plastic surgery," Lorenzana, ...
According to Debrahlee Lorenzana, "As long as I have two hands and two legs, and can still walk, I will always work." Unfortunately, those legs (and thighs, and hips and breasts) are what landed the 33-year-old mom out of work. Last week, the Village Voice ran a profile on Lorenzana's trials and tribulations as a business banker at Citibank in New York City. In the story, "Is The Woman Too Hot To Be a Banker?" she and her lawyer claim Citibank unlawfully fired Lorenzana for "distracting" her male bosses with her extreme beauty, and she sued. A arbitration panel will decide the case. For ...
(June 7) -- The former Citibank employee who claimed she was fired because of her distractingly good looks could soon lose another job and file a brand new lawsuit over a potentially controversial body part: her mouth. Debrahlee Lorenzana says her Citi-slamming media blitz led her new employer, JPMorgan Chase, to threaten disciplinary action "up to and including termination" over appearances and interviews they say bash the banking industry and breach the company's code of conduct. Saswat Pattanayak / Splash Debrahlee Lorenzana's attorney said the former Citibank employee will take legal ...
(June 3) -- A vintage Pantene commercial once said -- "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." Now an ousted Citibank staffer is telling her former employer: Don't fire me because I'm hot. Debrahlee Lorenzana, 33, is so certain her sultry looks led to her job loss at the bank's branch in New York's landmark Chrysler Building, she filed suit, claiming she was canned over her penchant for pencil skirts and other body-hugging attire. Described by the Village Voice as a "head-turning beauty" with "J.Lo curves," Lorenzana accuses Citibank of discriminating against her because of her natural good ...
Debrahlee Lorenzana says she was too beautiful for her own good. The 33-year-old New Yorker claims she was fired from her job as a banker at Citigroup branch last year because male co-workers were just too distracted by her voluptuous curves to focus on their work. Citigroup told Lorenzana that it was her job performance that did her in, but Lorenzana isn't buying it. She told The Village Voice that before she was let go, her bosses demanded that she change the way she dress so as not to tempt the bank's male employees. Pencil skirts, three-inch heels, and fitted business suits all became ...
