An American banker is suing her former employer, Citibank, for firing her because she is too good-looking.
Amongst other things, Lorenzana alleges that her bosses made concerted efforts to render her less attractive by asking her to stop wearing pencil skirts, three-inch heels or fitted and flattering-to-the figure
suits. Lorenzana alleges she pointed out that other women in the office wore far more revealing clothing, but was told "those women's shapes are different" and that she "drew too much attention."
Needless to say, Citibank is "vigorously" denying the claims, though has not revealed the reasons for Lorenzana's termination.
